Thunderbird is going hard on Rust all of a sudden. Recently they started using it in Thunderbird and now they’re starting a whole service in Stalwart (written in Rust).

Super awesome.

I use Bitwarden for passwords and notes

I thought that was a problem too, but then I realized I use email aliases (and basically everyone should too) and Addy.io and other alias services support custom domains. I have a custom domain working great and use Posteo.

Posteo + Addy.io + Thunderbird

I love it, but it has some fairly big annoying things about it and I’m disappointed to see how little movement there is to fix them in GitHub. The dev seems very insactive.

I have both the 13 and the 16. Absolutely love them.

Yeah

Sometimes what’s worse is when I am pretty sure something they suggest won’t fix the bug and then it does fix it. Like I experienced a race condition in my Android email app and talked to support about it. They said try clear app data / cache and see if it worked. I thought there is no way that would solve it and they’re just giving be the boilerplate support thing. It did fix it.

Now I’m even more scared at what their code is doing.

I agree, but would like to add I find AI generated code without thought or care put into understanding it more offensive than this to begin with.

Seriously, every time I see null interpolated in a receipt or email I always think “you fucking donkeys”.

Rust is amazing. I’ve been using it for six years now. Being strict is exactly what you want when building anything more complex than fizzbuzz. It’s just that people aren’t used to it so it makes them uncomfortable enough to not attempt to learn it or see how beneficial it is.

Isn’t the terminal only going to affect performance when it’s displayed in stdout? I’d think a program like find / using pipes would send the data under the hood and all that the terminal would deal with would be the output of the entire command.
