And Vivaldi is not even open source

If I understand correctly, the aurora store is not great because the apps it offers are android native and often closed source.

On the topic of Obsidian, I recommend the FOSS tool Syncthing to sync/fileshare Logseq, Obsidian or emacs org mode files between devices.

Note, Syncthing-fork is the actively maintained app on f-droid, not the original app called Syncthing, at least as of this comment.

i second this, @Una@europe.pub . librewolf is an excellent choice.

Wait, is Libre wolf back? I thought it was abandoned, nit getting updates for an extremely long time, making it dangerous to use security wise?

LibreWolf comes with ublock installed by default <3 didn't know the redirect extension!

Not sure if I would recommend LibreWolf to the average user above Firefox. Too many settings to fiddle with e.g. playing DRM material. I don't like to say it but I think most users would uninstall librewolf the moment they try to stream their favorite show and it doesn't work out of the box.

Love LibreWolf. Firefox is in a state of feature creeping. I understand the why, but don't agree with it.

Just rip the bandaid off.

90% of people I speak to either already had or then installed Signal. It's just another app to them and doesn't require deleting WhatsApp to get.

If those in the know are unwilling to move off WhatsApp why would the ignorant ever do it?

Matrix is good for those situations, there are bridges to pretty much everything these days.

if an app is the difference between someone keeping in touch with you or not, then you just aren't that important to them. that's the real issue here, everyone's too afraid to find out how many of their "friends" and family members actually don't give a fuck to include them in their lives when it's going to involve a bare minimum of effort to do so. grow a backbone, stand up for what you supposedly believe in, and find out what you actually mean to people, instead of cravenly whimpering about how little value you think your supposed "loved ones" place on communicating with you. the implicit cowardice and self-hatred in this logic are disgusting.

i got my parents on Matrix. just try and explain.

I'm currently using bitwarden with a vault warden docker backend and I'm wondering why you feel that keepass is a better setup. What made you make the switch?

What's wrong with bitwarden?

From my understanding, the devs of Vivaldi actually split off from the opera team because they didn’t like the direction opera was going and made their own browser

obsidian's cool but it's not keep-like at all. don't know what would be a good alternative off the top of my head but i bet there are tons.

I recommend Joplin. Doesn't have Obsidian's fancy UI or add-ons, but the core functionality is the same. Should be great for the vast majority of users.

your best bet is fdroid obviously but in terms of apps available it's lackluster af and the UI looks like android gingerbread or something.

They recently overhauled it and it looks mostly modern. Still not perfect, but definitely a lot better than it used to be. There are also third-party front ends. Can't really say anything about them as I haven't used any.

you're likely not going to be able to use f-droid or aurora much longer. Well, the apps they host anyway.
