A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The bad news: MZLA (Thunderbird's maker) is all-in on AI.
The good news: They aren't using your Thunderbird donations to build this. It's funded by the Mozilla Foundation, which has been throwing money at every random AI startup it sees. Including one that wants to help electricians wire your home.
Edit: Mozilla is so untrustworthy these days that they had to cite themselves in the testimonial
okay, that's kinda funny and ironic.
And it's their only testimonial on the website. From the screenshot I thought it'd be one of multiple.
Given it's a new product, not too surprising though, I guess. I wonder if they had any testing/cooperation partners.
I started to update my post before realizing you have a much better version of the link, thank you for providing it. Must have been too flabbergasted to even describe the website
