@thunderbird Thunderbird has great plans for 2023, including a big redesign of their interface to make it more usable and modern, and integrating the K-9 mail app for Android into the Thunderbird ecosystem. Consider supporting if you value private and user-respecting email communication.

When it comes to owning your data, @nextcloud is asking the important questions at #Fosdem.

To clarify the change: for Fedora 38 if you enable Flathub as a third-party repo, you now get everything on Flathub, not just a curated set. Of course, many applications are available in the Fedora Flatpak repo, too.

#FOSDEM 2023 features 786 speakers, 774 events, and 63 tracks.

This sounds like a 2-week conference, not one that happens over the weekend! 😂

Do you prefer a Matte or Glossy display?

U.S. border officials copy the contents of up to 10,000 phones and computers every year and save them to a big database for 15 years, as we first reported in September: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/09/15/government-surveillance-database-dhs/

Following pressure from Sen. Wyden, the agency, CBP, now says it's considering shrinking that 15-year save time and plans to give people more details about what they're doing: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/31/abraham-accords-expand-with-cybersecurity-collaboration/

The best reverb you can buy for non-realistic spaces?

I just bought Reach (I'm not affiliated with this project ), and it's really really good. Don't look for realistic spaces (though I'm sure it works well with some instruments), but it's the best toolbox I've used in order to manipulate spaces for your #music.

It has a nice #reverb engine, AND you can filter, and edit the reverb sound with flanger, distorsion, bitcrusher and chorus directly in the plugin. From LoFi- cassette sounds, punchy or dreamy drums and up to beautiful lush #reverbs, it works wonder.
The interface is clean and will still look good in 10 years.
The presets are well thought out and will give you a solid start.
It's open source (#foss): https://github.com/sinuslabs.
It's multiplatform (Linux, Win, Mac).
It's cheap at the moment (25€ as of january 2023).
