Forgot this existed, tested it 5 years ago or so. Latest release is from 2019.

AFAIK every message propagates through the entire network, not knowing its destination, but only the rigth recipient can decrypt it. As a consequence of the scuttlebutt protocol.

That didnt seem scalable to me …

Maybe the “you never get a second chance for a first impression” is indeed unfair but it is hurdle for adoption.

In my case my motivation to keep using and trying LibreOffice is driven by the hate for MS and not by the love for LO.

For example: I went through some eye surgeries and really needed a dark mode. But I couldnt get a dark mode in which buttons still were cleary visible. Icons not showing well and hard to tell what they were for. Meaning I kept hoping the tooltips showed something usefull. But “reading” icons is a bit strange … I am sure if I search forums, git issues and documentation something usefull will turn up.

And maybe its infantile like you said but I sure like contextual filled menubars since PaintshopPro in 2005. So whats with the empty menus showing a handfull buttons and everything else in some cornermenu? Seems like a waste of screen real estate.

As for dataloss: sure my data wasnt lost but loading and pivoting a 90k row data table made Calc freeze and only restarted after killing it. 90k is not for everyone but it sure isnt a lot either in spreadsheet land.

Also … dynamic changing them after my wallpaper rotation every 10 minutes, based on the colorpalette of the background photo … while we’re at it.

Oh … that feels like a relieve …

Cancelled them after wild goosechasing their content:

• Me: Lets rewatch the last season of West World.
• HBO Max: We offloaded that content to Hulu.
• Me: ?!?!? So you dont stream your own premium quality content? Why and which content-manager had that brain-dead idea? Never mind I will check Hulu.
• Hulu: Sorry mate we dont stream to you country (in the EU) and we will be part of Disney!
• Disney: We are glad to bring Hulu into the fold. Check all this new content!
• Me: OK Disney, give me West World on Hulu.
• Disney: Sorry, not that content, can I interest you in some live action fairytale?
• Me … I give up.

You asked why and I gave an explanation where the 27 downvotes came from. So I think there is some agreement within this lemmy about being offtopic.

If that bothers you too much I suggest focusing on something more productive, as I will do.

Not selfhosting AND privacy.

From the sidebar of this lemmy:

“A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.”

So its about self-hosting with certain qualities (not giving up privacy or lockin). Not about privacy in general.

Signal isnt selfhosted and does lock you in, albeit with a high reputation to not become evil.

Better lemmy would be https://lemmy.ml/c/privacy

Nothing to do with selfhosting

No-code goes further then the “configuration” level and its features are very generic, to make endless use cases possible.

Naming things is hard. But if you have a better category name to distinguish from classic cms software I am all ears.

And yes no-code software itself is written with code.

But I dont mind having a name for software in which

• you can add and manage workflows
• you can define tables/data/attributes and views
• that are not scoped to specific use cases up front
• query and scripts are abstracted away by a friendy UI

I just see those foundation onboard / leaves from afar … but isnt the retention rate way to high to do actual foundational stuff?

I know it doesnt counter surveillance but for Android TV very happy with Projectivy Launcher.

No bombardment of ads for media to buy films music or episodes. Just quiet navigation.

I am dutch and spend many an hour at the intersection of IT and Privacy … but this is the wrong community to advertise a local Signal group.

For Android, Universal Debloater is your friend.

When developer mode is possible at least.

I work with a Grub boot for Win11 / Debian on the same disk (work provided laptop without the persuasion to change my employer MS-First policy) but one of the lucky ones I guess. No problem for 2 years now.

Only thing after a big Windows update it forgets its TPM Bitlocker key for its own partition. Must type it like once in 2 months manually.

Came for this one.

Immediately brought back memories of RSS and PubSubHubbub

Luckily this was about Snap.
