VimFX + LegacyFox is still the best; it even works on about: pages.

GTK (and QT I do believe) also support this on GNU/Linux.

I suspect that rather than some kind of digital proof-of-competence, communities will shift to in-person meetups at conferences and such. Which is unfortunate for people who can't attend for whatever reason, but I think some solution to that can be worked out.

Maybe it is, if they can somehow vet potential new contributors in-person at e.g. conferences.

It's not source available, source available implies some restrictions on what you can do with the source, or with any resulting binaries. This isn't a rugpull; all they're doing is closing off contributions, which has nothing to do with the license of the code.

IMO Phoenix[0] is what Wayland should have been: a reimplementation of X11. We didn't need a new protocol.

I think Phoenix[0] is a promising project: it's an X11 server written from the ground up, with security and legacy feature removal in mind. It's basically what Wayland should have been IMO. We didn't need a new protocol, at most we needed a new implementation of X11.

Huh? Fcitx and IBus both worked on GNOME and KDE as far as I'm aware. Now, Fcitx using QT and IBus using GTK helps them feel more native on KDE and GNOME respectively, but they would both work.

Doesn't seem possible on Gnome and not very straightforward on other DEs according to the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fcitx5#Integration

It seems to me that the issues on that page are Wayland-specific; anectotally, on my random X window manager works fine with Fcitx (except for Emacs, but that's probably Emacs' fault, not the IME protocol's).

I do the same, but with mu/mu4e in Emacs. Not having to open a browser to read email also helps with staying focused for me.

Name one feature (i.e. thing that requires client support, not UI) that's new in email since 2005 and that's also worth having.

Without IMAP NOTIFY email is almost unusable.

It's from 2009.

Without managesieve (2010, https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5804/ ), any decent filtering is impossible. (And no, it's not supported by almost any email client)

JMAP has already been mentioned.

I also don't remember any email clients supporting carddav.

>not UI

Why not UI? UI is very important. Even such a basic thing as muting folders works like cr*ap in k9mail. Is it better in "fairemail"?


JMAP.

Modern authentication.

S/MIME with cryptography that isn’t RSA.
