My experience also.
Ridiculous performance issues plus don’t breath on it level of fragility … no thanks

@anamethatisnt Lone voice in the crowd : Why?

@AnActOfCreation no thank you

@Flaky @halm Vivaldi design is _strongly_ reminiscent of Mozilla SeaMonkey (antecedent Netscape Navigator) with a dose of old Opera.

@mindlight @ShittyBeatlesFCPres When they took away SSB’s (aka PWA) in Firefox 86 and utterly refused to reconsider, that was the end for me. Idiots

@amju_wolf @Ephera _Exactly right_

@Ephera @redcalcium I don’t mind them using funds on activism directly related to privacy and an open web but they have been blowing huge amounts on far left political causes unrelated. That’s why I ignore donstion requests.

@0xtero @petsoi Firing staff, studiously ignoring _long standing_ complaints by end users and jumping like a meth addict on the latest tech craze whilst continuing to blow the rivers of gold from Google on far left political causes … the future looks dim.

@pl_woah @Guenther_Amanita I regard these all these things as nerd toys for exploring innovation …

@DangerousInternet @Guenther_Amanita This is the big drawback of ‘immutable’. You surrender all rights to the system and totally reliant on the provider’s QA, which of course is impossible to be 100%.

@jaykay @TCB13 Hetzner has low cost storage servers with SMB, SFTP & WebDAV access. Not quite self hosted but a hell of a lot better than [insert proprietary privacy invasive mega corp]

@DichotoDeezNutz @jaykay Saving to a network drive _OTHER_THAN_ proprietary US mega corporations would be essential for me (eg SFTP, WEBDAV)

A mobile client is vital. I use mobile devices 95%

@lemmyvore @helenslunch
This is a show stopper for me on any of the big name ‘encrypted’ platforms, Proton, Tuta et al - impossible to import/export data. Moving from one silo’ed walled garden to another arguably worse one is anathema.

The thing that sucks the least for me is to pay to host my own email/contacts/calendar/storage via open source apps in a privacy friendly jurisdiction e.g. Hetzner

Going full DIY at home is not practical.

Ubuntu 23.10 & Fedora 39, both running Gnome of all things (eye roll) run just fine on my late 2009 iMac (iMac 10,1)

* nb : Fedora 39 has an installation bug. Installing Fedora 38 minimal then upgrading to 39 is the simplest solution. Kudos as usual to Canonical for shipping a trouble free install on Mac.
