I think Bluesky can be an exception. I think it’s way better than Mastodon from a UX standpoint. And it’s still open.

Yes, I’m sadly surprised by many open source projects still posting on that cesspool

+1 for qBittorrent. I used to be a Deluge fan, but qBittorrent seems more performant and feature-packed.

PurelyMail is a great indie mail service. I love them.

I need to switch away from Proton immediately. Too bad they wouldn’t refund me.

Also give PurelyMail a try.

Also, Posteo doesn’t let you use custom domains.

PurelyMail is very cheap and it has unlimited custom domains.

Damn, I’d like to switch provider, but I can’t stand the UX of Tuta.

Any other cheap & bring-your-own-domain alternative?

Ahh that’s why I couldn’t open the link in OP.

Good job Proton, you lost a customer today. Now I just have to find a new provider.

I don’t care at all! Greetings from Italy!

Zed is native and it has way better performance! You can tell it’s not Electron!

Oh boy I should’ve done it a long time ago.

Also, nowadays the situation is even worse because young people don’t even know what a file is. They just open the apps.

I’d also add the tip of installing a Windows-looking window theme. People just want the classic window buttons (X for close, etc.), not some fancy icons.

I agree.

I used to love GNOME in the v 2.0 era, but after 3.0 it’s been a whole shit show.

I don’t agree. It’s just because you’re used to drive letters.

I think Linux filesystem is better organised. Everything is (almost) well organised in the right folder.

Truly the last American hero.

Yes, I think the main problem of Mastodon is that it looks and behaves like if engineers designed it, not designers.

Not really. Bluesky has a server option, but it’s filled with their main instance by default and you can just ignore it.

Mastodon, on the other hand, doesn’t have a single entry point for registrations. Everything is more convoluted for the layperson.

Elon is teasing about offering an email service on X… why would anybody give him access to all of your private information?
