I like this tidbit! I think it is apt and we are collectively ignoring how dangerous new technology and technological trends are or can be because we can use them without understanding anything about them (I'd argue even their creators

I personally chose Fedora Silverblue (that has been amazing!) after after all those snaps. I've never had an easier and more seamless time upgrading across major versions, and that includes my previous experience with Ubuntu, Arch, Ma

I faced the same dilemma. I despise snap. I wanted something Debian based too, but I ended up biting the bullet and crossing over to Fedora Silverblue - it's different than the normal Fedora builds, in it's intentional design for

That's a weird take, considering Fennec is FF on Android, just with some minor config changes. Your statement is akin to saying: "Firefox on Debian is my solution to Mozilla abandoning FF on desktop" If FF on Android _were_ a

True, but it is not a tool that works for everyone. In my case, I consider the Mac one of the cons of working at my current place of work. My days are filled with minor hassles that I could really do without. Doing simple things takes longe

I'd rather a package report as `does-not-exist` and suggest I install it from snap over it installing it silently from snap without my input

I love flatpak. I consider snap to be just bloatware I have to wipe of my system on installation. Hopefully soon I'll move off Ubuntu to greener pastures. Fedora Silverlight seems particularly intriguing.

The problem isn't Mozilla/Firefox in this case. It is Canonical/Ubuntu. Firefox on most other distro (debian based or otherwise) can be installed with the proper system package manager. Additionally Mozilla offers a flatpak v

Upvoting just for having proper Toum at the top of the recents :) Kudos for knowing what Keshik is too! Also thanks for sharing - there are a bunch of cool recipes there.

I chose Migadu. You might want ProtonMail or Tutanota if you wish, but having it accessible over my Mobile app of choice was a blocker for me. Some of the extra credits that made me choose Migadu: * Their site works without JavaScript enabl

The previous iteration of this was a disqualifier for using FastMail when I was migrating away from GSuite. I wonder why people would accept to use AU-based services with all these shenanigans in place.

Android 12 has a mechanism to allow an app that installed an application to update it in the background, but the client needs to be updated to support it. F-Droid hasn't yet, see issue here [1] - some of the other F-Droid clients, like

I would suggest EteSync [1], they do have an adapter [2] that would remove the e2e encryption, but I recommend running that adapter locally and not over the network to actually benefit from the e2e. [1] https://www.etesync.com&#x

Flatpaks, nope. At least nothing I could notice. Snaps, yes definitely, but mostly when there is a UI involved. I tend to prefer Flatpaks for apps with a UI. Snaps would have been good for CLI apps if Canonical would just give it a rest alr
