My emails seemed to go through pretty well. It’s been blocked by Discord and steam. But other than that, emails seem to go through pretty well.

The dog with the butter on them

That’s why it’s important to build a personal security and privacy model and a good idea of what you are and are not willing to give up. Instead of blindly chasing after the things that everyone else does. Since for most people, that idea of living in a forest is usually unobtainable

Well you’re in luck, there’s the Pleroma and Misskey family of apps out there that are ActivityPub compatible. Pleroma also has Akkoma as well, and there are far too many Misskey forks to count. Both of them support S3 I believe.

Sure, given that I don’t really have a compass app anyway

My hope for XMPP is that new and better clients emerge than the ones that already exist. Matrix has this same problem as well.

‘Matrix-based’ is now specified as a requirement in massive public and private sector tenders

I’m pretty sure that most people beyond the tech field know what Matrix is. At least not by name

Sticky keys is it so that when you press the modifier keys (control, shift, alt/option and win/meta/super/command), you won’t need to hold them in order to activate a keyboard shortcut.

It’s an accessibility feature designed to make it easier for people who may have trouble using a keyboard to activate keyboard shortcuts.

Perhaps I’ll switch to Firefox when they actually start getting things together and start implementing the things people ask for instead of actively removing functionality deemed “too complicated”

the Assistant team has admitted that the product does not have a market fit on mobile

How is there not a market demand for a voice assistant on mobile devices?

Really, bitwarden is poorly optimized everywhere. They cut corners at every expense using cross-platform frameworks, specifically web technologies on desktop and Xamarin on mobile. I’m hoping that someday someone writes a better client. But at least the main client has autofill down pretty well, it just becomes a pain when you want to actually do some advanced editing

I personally don’t use Firefox as anything except a spare whenever a page doesn’t load right in Vivaldi. Not only because I strongly dislike the way Mozilla itself is run (I’m not even going to get into their financial records) but also because of it’s glacial development speed. Mozilla does pave the road in some ways with stuff like mobile extensions and an unprecedented amount privacy features. But it still takes them forever to do some of the most basic stuff. Still no native PWA’s, Passkeys are still under development. It mildly feels understandable why people don’t feel like testing with Firefox as much as they used to.

Even cutting Google’s monopoly over the internet out of the equation, Firefox still doesn’t feel that good. Sure, it might be the fastest browser on the market at the moment. But for a company being paid 450k for a search engine deal by the very thing that Firefox users hate, what gives with the amount of ads engrained in search and bookmarks, the occasional popups for Mozilla VPN/ FF Relay. And yes, I know you can turn them off, but it’s ridiculous that a FOSS product even has them to begin with. Also how difficult it feels to be involved in the development of all Firefox products over on Mozilla Connect + Bugzilla + GitHub.

I have nothing against gecko based browsers, but until I see something truly stunning, I don’t really want to bother. I know Librewolf exists and solves some of the problems with modern Firefox (also being even more hardened than Firefox), but given Librewolf is also a hobby project that deliberately doesn’t accept donations nor even provide an auto update mechanism on macOS (the main system I use, in combination with my pixel devices), the bus factor is too strong for me to consider.
