From my understanding thunbird is somewhat separated from this. From the article linked by OP it says:

What’s crystal clear is that Thunderbird’s ever-increasing donation revenue (currently its sole source of income) is allowing for some explosive growth that’s long overdue. To add some context to this, Thunderbird received $2.8 million in donation revenue during 2021. Two years later, in 2023, it received $8.6 million in donations. I’m told that total financial contributions for 2024 were even higher, though the final amount hasn’t been officially released.

Ahshhit sorry, edited back again 🤣

Hahaha whops! Had just woken up 😅

Fair to nite that sync does nit equal backup!

Their homepage?

They also currently have a 62% deal of their highest tier for the next 10 days. Rather good deal!

Really dig these write-up, keep em coming! Especially intreeged by the oldschool steam deck magazine design, so cooooool!

Also I think at one point you should gather all of these “rants” in some sort of collection for people to more easily find back to. There are some fediverse, blog post-Y tools out there for it, that would kinda generate a blog based on your content. Sadly forgot what it’s called but if I find it I’ll come back here and post it. Just a thought for you to consider 😊
