Ed is on the left. Eddy is in the middle. Edd is on the right. Just glance at the thumbnail quickly. Don't actually click on the image.

The Thunderbird desktop app for Linux has a "Export to Mobile" feature. It generates a QR code that you can scan on your phone to, I guess (I haven't tried it), transfer the login info of your email accounts from desktop to phone. After that, IMAP should take care of syncing the emails from the server to each device.

I was curious what the other apps were, found the list: https://fedidb.org/software

Seems like the owners of Gitea did something like a self-coup and kicked out community members from the project. https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/

Forgejo is the community-driven fork of Gitea.

People like to act like Docker containers and environment variables are simple. But so often these things are not.

Oh for sure. I hate it when apps are like "EZ one line install" but then spin up a bunch of Docker containers. It's just more potential for shit to break.

A huge reason I like Navidrome is because it's just a single static Go binary. Can't get much easier to manage than that. Plus a bunch of native music apps are available as well. Wish more software was like that.

For the specific case I'm talking about (CLAs), I check if the project (on GitHub or wherever) requires signing a CLA to contribute. In Joplin's case, they do:

Basically, with a CLA they can change the license at any time to whatever they want. If they want to go closed source tomorrow they can with zero trouble. Without a CLA, they would need approval from everyone who has contributed to the project to do a license change, giving the project proper open source protections.

Look at South Korea, president tried to pull a coup and basically everyone told him to fuck off. Didn’t matter that he was in charge of the military and government

So there is a chance!

Ah, yeah. That's why I'm wondering if I'm missing something... Like, cool. I know B sold my address... now what? I guess it's a neat metric to know?

I'm assuming you mean United States when you say North America because WhatsApp is definitely heavily used in Mexico. (Not sure about Canada.)

In the US, most people use plain SMS, or if you break down after constant harassment from your friends and family, iMessage. I've definitely had people "joking" say, "Ew, you're a green bubble!" to me more than once.

Aaaand it's down.

One thing I would like to see is a way to distinguish which apps do Real™ Open Source vs fakie open source. For example, I see Joplin on there saying "Your secure, open-source note-taking companion". I guess that's technically true at this point in time, but they also force contributors to sign a CLA so they have the option to pull the rug later on. (Something which does happen.)

They even say so explicitly:

This is necessary so that if we ever want to change the license again we are able to do so

https://joplinapp.org/news/20221221-agpl/#what-does-it-change-for-developers

And fine, if they want to do that it's up to them. I'd just like a quick way to tell the difference between open source 😒 and Open Source 😄.
