Pity it's still closed for now. To my understanding, it would be distributed and virtually independnet from central provider. It would be nice to have something like that for "communities" (slightly different from microbloggi

They already bought Deja News, and then virtually killed usenet so no, thank you, google can go DoBadThingsToThemselves...

I wanted to use pixelfed (for my personal needs) but discovered there is no easily deployable docker image so I gave up... shame.

Let's go back to usenet :)

well...look at thunderbird - mozilla basically let it go as well and it made spectacular come back with a huge funding from users / community... as if user do like to contribute directly to the software development and not the mozilla

One wonders if there would be more user donations to Firefox if those were directly going to browser development and not to mozilla...

It doesn't have to be "quality seal" just "make user being able contact you via open-protocols... e-mail, contact form on the page, in-page chat option, voila.

Correct and I do get most of my apps from f-droid but unfortunately majority of big apps (banks, IMs) are on Google play only... because there is no sane/official alternative now (even f-droid can't update the apps automatically..

of ffs... sometimes is virtually impossible to do so because (at least even recently) some companies virtually allowed communication only over social media (one example KLM pushed very hard to contact with them over facebook/whatsapp)

I think problem with Apple Pay you experienced was due to US not being up to speed with contactless payments (or chip one for that matter as well)? In Poland you coild use contactless cards for a veeeeery long time, so when mobile payments

this is one of the more annoying things about the Web "apps" and the ecosystem.... virtually no control over what's being used...

It wasn't sait _without_ but with _reduced_ JS. JS is fine for dynamic contents (likes, upvotes) but the rest of the page can be completely static... Do you really need to see likes being updated in realtime? Or infinite scrolling (ins

I don't agree. Apart from a couple of really big websites the vast majority of the remaining ones could easily be a static website. course we ended up in dumbed down version of reality where people can't do without Facebook /

I'm aware and use those protocols. What's the benefit of bundling IMAP/SMTP/Cal|CardDAV into single JAMP protocol here? Those separate protocols work great and if someone only needs mail can only use IMAP/SMTP?

Heh, I tried fairmail a couple of times and always came back to k9 as I found fairmail quite cluncky and odd to use :-)

by ktosobcy 3y ago
AFAIR they are trying to fix internals as well, but it takes time considering lots of crust acumulated over the years?
532.
by ktosobcy 3y ago
So basically integration + nice-click-click-interface?

My regular calendar with CalDav does the same?

by ktosobcy 3y ago
No, I can't as I don't live in supported country. Nevertheless - does it go directly to Firefox or to Mozilla?
535.
by ktosobcy 3y ago
What does that offer, i.e. what are the benefits?
536.
by ktosobcy 3y ago
Is it all that useful for regular desktop mail client? I can understand it's huge usefulness in browser or on mobile but on the desktop? Yes, it simplifies mail management, but (clunky) IMAP is already and works just fine?

by ktosobcy 3y ago
I have same accounts in k9mail and use it to quickly filter mail - quite handy. Longer replies I do from the computer. As for FX - i do use it on macos and it works perfect for me.

by ktosobcy 3y ago
I guess they want to have "universal experience" and I don't blame them. Though, in case of Android they are going to rebrand k9-mail AFAIK.
