I'd say they are objectively better, because are independent, free & open source apps, instead of relying on patching Google's proprietary software.

Yes, I know, draw.io theoretically isn't entirely open source, but the source code is available and it can be self-hosted. Honestly, that's good enough for me, I think I can make an exception for this one. But generally I care a lot about strictly using FOSS too. It can also be integrated with Nextcloud: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/drawio

I tried Floorp and didn't like it either, I'm glad there's a more promising looking project out there now. Still great to see more development in the Firefox/Gecko ecosystem. We don't need more Chromium garbage.

Going back to a "normal" text editor after using Vim for a few years would be horrible

Life without qBittorrent would also be pretty difficult, hell no, I'm not paying for DRM content that requires proprietary software to watch

That bad encryption was not cracked for now

There is no encryption by default if you haven't noticed. There only the pseudo-E2EE which has been proven to have critical weaknesses: https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1177.pdf

can't be enabled by default

Yes it can, every proper E2EE messenger works like that. Signal, Threema, hell even WhatsApp uses E2EE by default.

no support for group chats

Signal has had group chats for many years now. WhatsApp uses the same encryption protocol and it also works just fine. Stop spreading misinformation, and use Signal if you want an actual secure, end-to-end encrypted, open and transparent messenger.

You still need a phone number to sign up

No one ever said that this was a complete list of all shitty countries in the world.

Personally I run everything behind a VPN. Browsing the web without one kinda feels like a bad idea, like why should I expose my approximate home location to every website I go to and every server I connect to? Why should I let my ISP see which websites I'm visiting? And why should I trust my government to have access to all of that data?

That's just my personal opinion, but centrists are often enablers of right-wing extremists/fascists. Since they don't really have their own opinion and political stance, they just kinda take the average of the left and the right-wing. This starts to become a big problem, when the right suddenly radicalizes, and the centrists now also move further to the right.

WriteFreely and Plume are based on ActivityPub and can be followed from the Fediverse (in addition to RSS of course)

The BORE scheduler on Linux is even better, as it's specifically optimized for the features in these chips.
