Yup thanks for the heads-up!

You missed some disadvantages. For example the UX and complexity are terrible.

I bought my first ebook from amazon

Just don’t do that. If you give money to this company, they’ll continue to go down the path they’re on. Enshitification.

Theoldreader.com on the desktop and gReader Pro on Android. That app is ancient but still works and no modern app comes close to its UI.

Misleading title. This “article” has nothing to do with training.

The company is doomed with this kind of leadership

Yup, I think this is the root cause for Mozilla’s inevitable failure: the wrong management for the job.

Agreed. It is very powerful but the interface has a long way ahead to be user friendly. Still, it is worth the effort if you really care about sticking to linux.

As a person who experienced the customer support regrading preorders I can confirm this firm is extremly sketchy.

If you like what NOYB is doing: they are accepting donations.

Correct, I use Kast on the desktop, works nicely

If you’ve got a nextcloud somewhere, you already have everything you need running. Install required extension and login in antenna pod. Works nicely, can recommend it.

Hopefully the court was clever enought to specify that the side loading must not be more difficult than installing via the store. Apple will for sure make it as complicated and user hostile as possible so they fulfill the ruling without having any practical impact.

Finally some good news

Learned something new. Thank you!

I also use openScale from F-Droid, in combination with this Bluetooth scale:

Signal forks can have unexpected behaviours like retaining deleted messages and also they don’t get updated at the same rate that Signal get updated.

There are ways to save messages before they are deleted even if the stock app is used. Do not ever rely on this feature to work in a “safe” way.

Every couple of years I hear a story about hackers disturbing signal with backdoors, which would be impossible or very hard to be done If they blocked third party clients. (Ex: 1)

That is a problem the users who prefer 3rd party clients have to deal with. Obviously if you care enough to not use the official build, you of cause have to take care of using a trustworthy source. That is not “your problem” though.

The amount of people who use third party Signal clients are very few anyway.

That sounds a lot like “I don’t use it, so none else needs it either” argument. In my opinion, none of your arguments above are a good reason to combat 3rd party clients.

Not in all situations. And in a way a user will not be aware of. The service or website can define what type of passkey is allowed (based in attestation). You may not be able to acutally use your “movable” keys because someone else decided so. You will not notice this until you actually face such a service. And when that happens, you can be sure that the average user will not understand what ia going on. Not all passkeys are equal, but that fact is hidden from the user.

In addition, Huawei now blocks sideloading Android apps to promote its ecosystem growth.

Well looks like I’m never going to get a device from this manufacturer then.

Sad to see Mozilla being managed into the ground, betraying their principles and selling their users.
