Tried the @Vivaldi browser. A good example of when "the more the better" doesn't work. Sure it is an IMHO.

Still very interesting. Having your emails and calendars integrated into a browser is a good alternative when OS-built-in tools for this are crap.

Now back to @firefox.

Just FYI, the account that you mentioned (@firefox) is actually the lemmy community [email protected]. This resulted in your toot appearing as a post in that community on lemmy.

Why did you include so many hash tags

It was posted from mastodon. That's also why it sounds like a completely random tweet and doesn't fit in with lent Lemmy.

@forbiddenlake @possiblylinux127, yes, that's why. It was an accident, I swear )

@Jagermo, I even remember the Netscape. And I thought the all-in-one applications era was finished a long time ago. Somewhere around the Nero Burning ROM death )))

Zawinskis Law still applies, it seems

Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.” Coined by Jamie Zawinski (who called it the “Law of Software Envelopment”) to express his belief that all truly useful programs experience pressure to evolve into toolkits and application platforms (the mailer thing, he says, is just a side effect of that). It is commonly cited, though with widely varying degrees of accuracy.
