The first video of AWS series.

Are you a Linux user who wants to build Thunderbird? Here's a tutorial on how to setup a development environment in Ubuntu, in just a few commands! This is helpful if you're interested in fixing bugs, trying out patches, or making any local changes to Thunderbird.

Tutorial Commands:

Setup tools needed to build Thunderbird

Checkout the source code

Run the bootstrap command from the source directory. Choose 2 (to build Firefox for Desktop). Choose all of the default options.

Create your mozconfig file in the source directory with the following info

Build Thunderbird!

Run what you just built!

Does your Commodore 64 output pixel-perfect HDMI? Because mine does.

Thank you so much to Side Projects Lab for making this awesome kit. You can find out more at the GitHub for the project: https://github.com/sideprojectslab/HD-64/.

I bought this one myself for €109, from Retro 8-Bit Shop: https://www.retro8bitshop.com/product/spl-hd-64/.

You can also buy one from retro-updates.com: https://www.retro-updates.com/product/17245372/hd-64-commodore-64-hdmi-output-fpga

If you buy the kit, make sure to buy it from one of these two places. This video isn't sponsored, but it's a kind thing to buy this from a reseller that's working with the developer. Let's support cool projects like this.

Speaking of cool projects... I got my purple Retro Fuzion case from the initial crowdfund, but it looks like you can still buy them here: https://www.retrofuzion.com/products/breadbin-case-set.

If you need a new VIC-II, a good option if you can get it is the VIC-II Kawari, which will also hook you up with HDMI video out: https://accentual.com/vicii-kawari/

If you already have invested in an RGBtoHDMI setup, or just don't like soldering, I really like C0pperdragon's LumaCode project, and you can find out more at https://www.tindie.com/products/c0pperdragon/vic-ii-dizer/. Note that the LumaCode will need an RGBtoHDMI setup to work (unlike the build featured in today's video).

Lastly: these videos take forever to make and I rely on community support to make Veronica Explains happen. Monthly supporters get access to my Discord/Matrix room, and my immense gratitude:

We're back with another Community Office Hours, and this month is all about our recent Extended Support Release, 140.0 ESR, code named "Eclipse!" But first, we're introducing a key new member of the Thunderbird team, Manager of Community Programs Michael Ellis! Afterwards, Toby Pilling, Sr. Manager of Desktop Engineering, introduces this ESR's focus on stability, and provide a refresher on the difference between the year ESR and the new default monthly Release channel. We discuss what's in, from Dark Message Mode to Experimental Exchange Support, as well as what didn't make the cut. (Yes, there's an update on Sync!) Finally, we end with how to get new features and fixes every month in the monthly Release.

So put on your ISO-approved shades and learn more about the newest Thunderbird!
