And they're taking money donated towards Thunderbird development and spending it on random unrelated AI slop ideas that nobody asked for. You really don't see anything wrong with that?

Surely you can agree that when you open Thunderbird and are met with requests for donations, if you chose to donate, you'd expect that money to be invested in Thunderbird development, and not 10M Claude tokens to vibe code Mozilla's latest groundbreaking AI B2B SaaS idea?

Why do you know that nobody asks for? Are you in the team?

Stop spreading misinformation, it's funded by grant money https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbolt/blob/main/docs/fa...

Ah yes, a grant from Mozilla, to Mozilla.

Even more so, it is likely a grant of money earned by Firefox (the Google search engine deal).

That is almost all the money Nozilla has. Not sure what you're expecting.
