If you are in the UK/EU and tempted by Thunderbird Pro, it seems that:

* the contract does not include a data processing agreement. It is unclear how any professional user in the UK/EU might use the service in a manner consistent with the UK or EU GDPR.

* the servers are in Germany but the agreement (and presumably MZLA) are subject to US law:

> this Agreement between you and MZLA and any access to or use of the Website or the Services are governed by the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You and MZLA agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California.

I heard more from Disc-Soft, the maker of Daemon Tools, which was backdoored by suspected Chinese-language hackers and used to compromise thousands of users.

Disc-Soft tells me the backdoor was "limited to the free DAEMON Tools Lite" and v12.6 removes the backdoor; investigation ongoing.

Glucksmann se permet d'être encore libéral, européiste en 2026 ce qui montre que c'est un idiot complet et son humanisme est à "géométrie variable" notamment sur les "errances" du gouvernement israélien

Does anybody know what happened to the `ungoogled-chromium` package on #FreeBSD? I know I had installed it at one point, but it doesn't appear to be available any more:

Thanks for calling our attention to the Pluralistic essay, Prof. Lawler. It's outstanding! I'm so glad to see more and more recognition of the role that unfettered "free market" misbehavior plays in so many of our crises today.
