@drequivalent @kaniini I wonder if we'd still have wheels today if the nazis had used a circle as their symbol. Maybe wheels would be swastika shaped.

@besserwisser I started using nextcloud because radicale was a pain in the ass and I also wanted file sync anyway.

@besserwisser fwiw I started using mastodon with no particular corporation fuckup in mind (they're all fucked up and I've been aware of that for years).

@z428 @aral @strypey @clacke @enkiv2 @scolobb @Purism I think this has several reasons:1) FOSS is deeply rooted in the 70s/80s, when computers were this complicated.2) Many FOSS devs write software for themselves in their spare time ("works for me"). 3) Many FOSS projects are small and lack funds. People focus on getting the basic functionality going and then don't bother with making an UI that is nice and intuitive to use and dealing with supporting users(there are probably more reasons)

@z428 @pootz @enkiv2 @clacke @alcinnz @Shamar @scolobb @strypey @Purism @aral Linux on mobile devices is interesting in itself, because I think most of the older generation of FOSS devs don't even consider mobile devices computers (I know I sure didn't for a long time). It doesn't have a keyboard and you can't code on it. This means they were never the focus of the community at a time when it would have mattered, and now Google and Apple dominate this market.

@kragen @kaniini you also need to make sure not to accidentally drop personal information, and people's identity can be reconstructed from their network.

@enkiv2 @natecull @kragen @erosdiscordia @brennen FWIW mail-user-agents still do just that.

@kragen maybe zipsplit(1) would have been an option

@kragen hm, right, I forgot that ZIP is much like VFAT and stores the hierarchy at the very end

@sir @Wolf480pl doing what works would mean installing bash 4.4. :)Fighting bashisms in projects that you don't maintain is an uphill battle you're not going to win.

Sometimes the reader mode button isn't available in firefox. TIL prefixing the URL with about:reader?url= helps. Reader mode is also a nice workaround for some sites that have nasty full-screen GDPR popups that I don't want to accept.
