CalDAV supports notes/todos. I never used it tho. I usually just Note to Self on XMPP.

• Gmail -> Posteo
• Chrome -> LibreWolf
• Photos -> rsync (I don’t trust Discord-only communites)
• Drive -> rsync / VCSs
• WhatsApp -> XMPP
• Keep -> What?
• Docs -> Text editor / LibreOffice
• Google Translate -> Yandex Translate (FOSS options do not generally support Eastern languages)

I would say the same & I don’t even use it—but I would trust it being around the longest & is better than GNOME IMO.

I use aerc thru home-manager accounts on NixOS

Which is why it is important to continue calling them out. The casual privacy enthusiast just regurgitates an infographic or YouTuber. Can’t expect them to be experts, but we can tell them that there is a deeper rabbit hole.

There are many ways to make things resilient. Centralizing isn’t one of them.

Signal is too pedestrian. Without decentralization, your chat isn’t private enough as you don’t control the meta or the servers.

When will we see XMPP account support in the profiles?

Alcohol is bad for you health. Workplaces should be better so folks don’t feel the need to injest poison to tolerate it.

Cheogram has a better featureset on Android in my experience. Movim has quite a lot of features & good performance for a web app—which covers the folks that “don’t want to install any new apps” (generally the right skepticism, but really most F-Droid ones are safer with less worry), or platforms without good clients. The biggest pushback I have heard was bad iOS clients—but being a self-hostable service with almost exclusively free software clients, it should be of no surprise any iOS dev is lackluster, being an entirely closed platform, anti-GPL, & with a hefty fee just to list an application.

I find this pretty bad since everything seems to be compatible until it is too late & it is already adopted. I would like to see more uptake of the alternatives.

Jerboa vs. the website do different things since they render Markdown differently. Markdown itself is so spartan that it doesn’t have many things users want or need, so a bunch of incompatible forks get made & everyone just pretends it is all the same when in reality, it often lies on a single tool’s implementation.

Take AsciiDoc with its verse directive or reStructuredText with its line-block directive. Both get you poetry-style newlines on demand & are a part of the spec instead of left to the implementer.
