I guess way back when microsoft said than win10 would be the last version of windows, what the meant was it would be the last anyone wants to use.
Microsoft won’t stop me from continuing to not use Windows
They certainly tried with Secure Boot. Thank Stallman that UEFI is a somewhat-open architecture.
I moved to Mozilla Thunderbird long ago https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/
People still use dedicated email clients? Why?
It works better for searching, it works offline, catch-all addresses just work with correct from address when replying, backup and archiving, can move mails from box to box without sending.
I also use roundcube, but only to read mails. If I want to reply to a catch-all mail I have to create an alias which is super tedious.
catch-all addresses just work with correct from address when replying
What do you mean by this? I’d like to be able to reply from a website@mydomain.com automatically.
For me Thunderbird makes me create an alias in order to reply to my catch all (*@mydomain.com). Did you have to configure something specifically?
This is built into Thunderbird for a while now.

- Go to
Account Settings - Enable
Reply from this identity when delivery headers match - Enter your domain prefixed by a wildcard (
*), for example*@yourdomain.com - Close/confirm all your changes
- Open an email that was sent to one of your catch-all addresses and click the reply button.
- The FROM field should be the catch-all address and not your general address.

The good part: two garbage apps will be gone from windows 😂
Replaced with one god awful one. I actually liked the calendar application, does all I need it to do. But no, I can’t have just a calendar application anymore according to Microsoft
Mozilla used to have Sunbird, until they also rolled it into Thunderbird. Standalone calendars aren’t popular anymore, but in sure there’s some around.
I understand the mail integration, as appointments can be processed directly.
If anyone’s in this thread because they’re looking for a new mail client after Microsoft killed the old Mail app, and haven’t been happy with the typical suggestions of using each email service’s web interface or Thunderbird, I found I don’t hate Mailspring (with the fancy features disabled - I just want my email client to do email well and don’t want extras that provide clutter).
Works for me: I manage email with Proton on my phone and on the web on my computer anyway.

Does it matter if everyone stays on windows 10?
you cannot stay on win10 forever though. deadline is approaching
The majority of regular folks will only ever upgrade when they get a new computer. Most Me Maw’s and Pa Paw’s would sooner let their computers catch fire from being loaded with cat than get a new one. Hell. They are all still using ball mice.
As for me, as long as I have an iso I’ll happily run it in a vm. Indefinitely.
Ball mice is better than laser mice since you can take out the ball and play with it
Can’t argue with that. The ones with the big ball on the top are especially good because you can use an 8 ball
oh no, please let me use those shitty apps that you keep pestering me to use and i say fuck off every time, please!
Willy Wonka, I invoke thee… please come express my feelings on this for me.
