@DichotoDeezNutz @jaykay Saving to a network drive _OTHER_THAN_ proprietary US mega corporations would be essential for me (eg SFTP, WEBDAV)
A mobile client is vital. I use mobile devices 95%
@amju_wolf @Ephera _Exactly right_
@pl_woah @Guenther_Amanita I regard these all these things as nerd toys for exploring innovation ...
My experience also.
Ridiculous performance issues plus don't breath on it level of fragility .. no thanks
@AVincentInSpace @nous I've always disliked the arrogance of the lead Dev & the inexorable incremental usurping of Linux functionality. I'm deeply uncomfortable with so much being absorbed into a big binary black box
Ubuntu 23.10 & Fedora 39, both running Gnome of all things (eye roll) run just fine on my late 2009 iMac (iMac 10,1)
* nb : Fedora 39 has an installation bug. Installing Fedora 38 minimal then upgrading to 39 is the simplest solution. Kudos as usual to Canonical for shipping a trouble free install on Mac.
@Carighan @Kallioapina
I agree that Site Specific Browsers (SSB's) aka Personal Web Apps (PWA's) are much preferred over hunting for binary operating system specific app's.
The removal of this functionality in Firefox 86 was just one of the many decisions that is contributing to Firefox's catastrophic fall in usage.
I believe what the OP is referring to is _installable_ web apps, which brings the worst of both worlds, being both a web page and an operating system specific binary app
@Ephera @redcalcium I don't mind them using funds on activism directly related to privacy and an open web but they have been blowing huge amounts on far left political causes unrelated. That's why I ignore donstion requests.
@AnActOfCreation no thank you
@theshatterstone54 @reallyzen it's new to me. I'm keen to have this!
@lemmyvore @helenslunch
This is a show stopper for me on any of the big name 'encrypted' platforms, Proton, Tuta et al - impossible to import/export data. Moving from one silo'ed walled garden to another arguably worse one is anathema.
The thing that sucks the least for me is to pay to host my own email/contacts/calendar/storage via open source apps in a privacy friendly jurisdiction e.g. Hetzner
Going full DIY at home is not practical.
@DangerousInternet @Guenther_Amanita This is the big drawback of 'immutable'. You surrender all rights to the system and totally reliant on the provider's QA, which of course is impossible to be 100%.
@mindlight @ShittyBeatlesFCPres When they took away SSB's (aka PWA) in Firefox 86 and utterly refused to reconsider, that was the end for me. Idiots
@anamethatisnt Lone voice in the crowd : Why?
