        @Tutanota never let people tell you they are user friendly though! It really annoys me when “Google alternatives” get promoted that are overcomplicated, ugly, and unusable for normal people.
        I honestly think many open-source developers don’t prioritise usability because they assume their products will always be fringe and non-commercial, so UX and onboarding are neglected. It becomes a badge-of-honour exercise to even get them working. 1)

        @Tutanota I just tried Aurora Store. The homepage is full of Temu ads (ironically), there’s no clear download path, no proper instructions, and no obvious way to browse apps.

        If you want people to adopt alternatives, above all else they must be instantly easy to access, install, and use. Otherwise it’s Dungeons & Dragons level niche interest.🔚

            @Tutanota openstreetmaps is soooo much better. I use mapy.cz as a frontend and it is soo much better for biking and tracking.

            I didn't even know half of those browsers. Are the foxes all forked from Firefox?

              @Tutanota Suggestions :

              Translations:
              - Firefox supports downloading models and running locally (either to translate page or direct access in "about:translations")

              Android: also list non Android derivatives:
              - #SailfishOS <- I daily drive that
              - postmarketOS
              - UbuntuTouch
              They all have (container-based) solutions to run Android apps if necessary (AppSupport, Waydroid)

              Also, add fediverse:
              - Pixelfed
              - Peertube

                @TheComfortableSpotPodcast @Tutanota that is SOOO important.

                Sometimes it's only one click less that makes an app better.

                Edit: I remember several times I tried to install new software on PC and needed 1-2 hours. That was depressing.
                I need a happy path!

                  Just to add that if you use KeepassXC it has a built in authenticator. ctrl-t, ctrl-v fill in the otp validation.

                    The only Google service I can't kick is YouTube because I watch a lot of music and niche interest videos not available elsewhere. Shame PeerTube can't just mirror YouTube! As it is I use FreeTube to watch YT but Google keep messing with the API to stop it working on 3rd party apps. Most recently yesterday afternoon.

                      Hey baby, I am a se*x worker. Do you need any services such as video se*x or real se*x . Are you interested?

                        Yeah, could be, but to be honest, it costs a lot more than f.e. the all in one (mail, storage, photos) price 2,99/month that Apple charges.

                        I would be fine if that would be 5 or 6 euro, but it's really a lot more.

                          And, more importantly the quality of alternative apps is currently not that good; e.g. compare the desktop app of Ente with Apple Photos; it's a huge difference.

                            @Tutanota Ja, es ist tatsächlich möglich - und sehr einfach - die beiden ersten grossen Schritte zum Widerstand gegen die permanenente GAFAM-überwachung zu machen:

                            1) gmail verbannen, und

                            2) den browser nicht mit akivem google-account nutzen.

                                Never downloaded anything ever again from google since It wouldn't let me uninstall some program/app back when they started.
                                How did yall not know they were bad back then?
