Basic Windows 95-era GUIs made with standard Windows APIs still look broken.

Well, Telegram does the something for free.

Sure, but why? If you’ve a simple router running OpenWrt or something with all WAN ports closed you basically have the same thing.

@Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works latest code pushed into the repo splits the config into it’s own file.

It’s not that is is a different ecosystem, it show shows how things can get bad very quickly. People like to say that they’ve the bridge that allows any generic IMAP/SMTP client to use their service, however what if they decide to disable the bridge? People talk a lot of shit about Microsoft and Google when it comes to email but at least those two provide email over standard protocols that can be used anywhere, not proprietary stuff. I wouldn’t be comfortable with having my email hostage to proprietary stuff like that.

No. Same BS as Proton.

The spreadsheet is very opinionated for eg. Proton fails in integration very hard because you can’t use it with a generic email client without extra steps… and in some platforms like iOS your only way to use it is by using their own app.

What do they offer?? An alternative to email that isn’t standard, not based in open and standard protocols like IMAP/SMPT at all and is incompatible with everything else out there that FYI is distributed. So this is basically another attempt at emulating Proton’s success and making email effetely less standardized. lol

It’s a Pi, what are you expecting. You just wasted a ton of money on inferior hardware with extra software issues. You could’ve just got a mini pc with 2 nvme slots instead for half the price and add a 6 port sata board for 20$ to one of those. Much cheaper, way more reliable, upgradable and ZFS actually would’ve work as you expect.

I’ve said this in the past, the app is good and works fine but it lacks a standalone desktop app…

It’s a bit pointless to have it working [only] the way it does, it’s all JS already so why force people into Docker to install something that can already perfectly work as desktop app with Tauri, Electron or even something much simpler like a custom build C++ webview? Thanks.

DNS0.eu is the new thing. Maybe also Control D Free DNS, Alternate DNS or if you want to go more hardcore LibreDNS. To be fair your biggest concern shouldn’t be only where you get your DNS from BUT also if it supports DoT and DoH - encrypting the DNS is more important for a lot people than actually using something other than Cloudflare or some other big company.

Adguard is a very large data mining operation. You’ll eventually figure that out.

Yeah that extension should be shipped with the browser to make things easier.

That’s not Ungoogled Chromium, at all. Not even close.

I believe its this: https://lemmy.world/post/32106925/17916457

The only problem with Ungoogled that makes it “not ideal for a normal human” is that fact that it is still cumbersome af to download it. Regular people don’t know github and how to click on “show all assets” and pick the right build.

And to add to all of that the user experience is bad.

Yes, systemd is a very good and very well written piece of software while GNOME is a pile questionable decisions that uses web tech to create themes and takes about half a second to load up any window. Also the same pile where you’ve to use 3 different network management UIs to get stuff done. And… where you can’t have desktop icons because they were too hard to get done properly OR where you can’t have a “disable animations” toggle on the settings to actually disable ALL animations instead of just some stuff while leaving others arounds.

Finally, because nobody needs to manage system like it’s the 2000’s nor have duplicate daemons around to do stuff that systemd does in 1/4 of the resources and with less bugs.

The problem with compiled JS is that it doesn’t last long. Any piece of software written in the popular frameworks will probably not compile in 5 years because xyz dependency. There might be ways around it, but all annoying and not good. Some type of software really needs more assurances that “might compile in 5 years” because some people can’t afford to upgrade to the latest framework down the path due to size or simply lack of time.
