Instead of trying to reimplement GPG, they could have added the necessary APIs to WebExtensions. Not directly related, but maybe Thunderbird shouldn't use Gecko to render emails. A smaller renderer with limited features may be sufficie

Three issues: - The main issue is that your private key is supposed to be secret – not uploaded to a server you don't control. Of course Protonmail encrypts it, but passphrases are supposed to be an additional layer of security, not th

I don't care whether TB uses gpg or its own internal implementation, that's an implementation detail. But not using the same keychain as the rest of the system is not user-friendly. And how is stdout not secure? We're talking

That's like saying sloppy programming makes software development possible. At best, it speeds things up (a temporary benefit) at the cost of quality (causing potentially permanent damage).

That is not correct, the term is used by all kinds of socialists. You may not care about the difference in general, but denying it is not helpful when discussing socialism. You're trying to refute the claim that private property (in th

I don't blame Apple if it only restricts Carplay where it is legally required to. Is that the case?

Which of your examples do you think is private property?

That is not how it works. The Spanish Flu hasn't "come back" yet and coronaviruses mutate a lot more slowly. It couldn't really come back anyway, because it's still there, downgraded to regular flu.

Were any doses produced yet of the other two vaccines?
