An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Associated Press: New York is suing Coinbase and Gemini, two of the newest players in the prediction market industry, arguing that the companies' unregulated and unlicensed platforms are illegal gambling operations. Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit, filed Tuesday in state court in Manhattan, seeks to bar the companies' platforms from operating in the state unless and until they obtain licenses from the state Gaming Commission. "Gambling by another name is still gambling, and it is not exempt from regulation under our state laws and Constitution," James said in a statement. "Gemini and Coinbase's so-called prediction markets are just illegal gambling operations, exposing young people to addictive platforms that lack the necessary guardrails." Both companies began as cryptocurrency trading platforms before branching into the prediction space, which has been dominated by Kalshi and Polymarket. [...] New York's lawsuit alleges that the Coinbase and Gemini are seeking "to avoid the legal and financial consequences" of the state's close regulation of gambling "by offering what is quintessentially wagering under the guise of offering 'event contracts' on a 'prediction market.'" By operating without licenses, the lawsuit says, Coinbase's and Gemini's prediction market businesses aren't paying the same taxes as licensed casinos and mobile sportsbooks, which are taxed by the state at a rate of approximately 51% of gross revenues. In addition, the lawsuit says, Coinbase and Gemini allow users as young as 18, while state law prohibits wagering by anyone under 21.

Mozilla has officially rolled out Thunderbird 150.0, the latest version of its open-source email client, bringing a mix of security-focused enhancements, usability upgrades, and workflow improvements for Linux and other platforms. Released in April 2026, this update continues Thunderbird’s steady evolution as a powerful desktop email solution.

For Linux users, Thunderbird 150 delivers meaningful updates that improve both everyday usability and advanced email handling, especially for encrypted communication.

Stronger Support for Encrypted Email

One of the standout improvements in Thunderbird 150 is how it handles encrypted messages.

Users can now:

• Search inside encrypted emails (OpenPGP and S/MIME)
• Generate “unobtrusive” OpenPGP signatures that appear cleaner to recipients

These changes make encrypted communication far more practical, especially for users who rely on secure email for work or privacy-sensitive tasks.

New Productivity and Workflow Features

Thunderbird 150 introduces several small but impactful workflow improvements:

• A new Account Hub opens automatically on first launch, simplifying setup
• Recent Destinations in settings can now be sorted alphabetically
• Address book entries can be copied as vCard files
• A new custom accent color option allows interface personalization

These updates make Thunderbird easier to configure and more flexible to use daily.

Improved Built-In PDF Viewer

Thunderbird’s integrated PDF viewer gets a useful upgrade: users can now reorder pages directly within the viewer.

This is particularly helpful for:

• Managing attachments without external tools
• Editing documents quickly before sending
• Streamlining email-based workflows

Combined with ongoing security fixes, the PDF viewer becomes both more capable and safer.

Calendar and Interface Enhancements

Several improvements focus on usability and accessibility:

• Calendar views now support touchscreen scrolling
• Fixed issues with calendar layouts and navigation
• Better screen reader support and accessibility fixes
• General UI refinements across the application

These changes contribute to a smoother, more consistent user experience across devices.

Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements

Thunderbird 150 also resolves a wide range of issues, including:
