it was released in 1999, so Runescape is knockoff Illarion

Just wanted to say that I took your advice, and posted an update to this thread. It turns out that moving to LibreOffice would have virtually no benefit in any regard whatever according to the city IT manager. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for posting this! As an American who dislikes the big tech here, these are helpful in knowing what's beyond our borders. I had never heard of Infomaniak before you posted! I currently use Proton but I'm not happy with the ability of their calendar and contacts to integrate with my underlying system. I've also been looking at mailbox.org to expand my capabilities there.

Well you choose - revit or archicad? You can choose something else so you can make your work impossible. As soon as you go to something specialist you are stuck in Monopoly

But that's not really accurate. Past decisions and events have influence in our future too. People can't decide to do everything they want to have. In example there are laws in place to protect us from whatever dumb decision young people may decide to do. Even a president can't do whatever he wants. Therefore, it's not regardless of its past.

I haven't used base Firefox in years, tbh. I'm sure that there's honestly no harm or foul here, but I'm not risking it anyway. I was using Zen, but Zen bloated itself so fast. You can now visually see a huge difference when switching from Zen to Floorp, so now Floorp is my number one again. Its a shame because Zen is gorgeous, but it was twenty times faster literally just two months ago. I can say for now that both Zen and Floorp don't ask you to agree to the ToS. For android I've been using Fennec. Its taken the mantle of Mull since Mull shut down and has everything you could want in a mobile browser. I have tried Ironfox, too, and its not too bad, but it has issues when opening through other apps and a lot of browser based logins don't recognize inside their apps when you login through it. Two more honorable mentions for Android: Iceraven and Fulguris. Iceraven is a slightly more stripped down Fennec with less search engines and such, and Fulguris is it's own thing, but has some of the problems that Ironfox does.

This is already a thing, there are a myriad of LLM chat interfaces where you can either connecting to models you are locally running or connect to APIs of providers. "Open WebUI", "librechat" and "Big-AGI" are web interfaces. On desktop you have things like jan.ai and a a lot more.

This makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much for the detailed reply! It's a perspective I've thankfully never had to see from so thank you for sharing a different side of life with me. That does sound very limiting for someone who just wants software to work the way it should in a way they can use it.

Nah, I think paying Monero in the physical world is much like paying cash by mail for digital services - awesome but impractical. Why not use the right tools for each job? Better stick to Monero for the digital world and cash in the physical one.

@[email protected] said in Is there a way I can make my XMPP (Conversations) messages synced to my desktop?: Well, the blog post for it is from January 2025. https://signal.org/blog/a-synchronized-start-for-linked-devices/ So I guess it has not been around too long! But it's interesting they've added it. Sounds like it works similarly to the existing message transfer, but with the addition of multiple encryption keys (similar to how Matrix does it).

Yes, hopefully they can solve it where so many haven't. I've never met a federated messenger/protocol with reliable voice and video chat between servers as TURN is costly it seems and things like JAMI are ime unreliable, though that's more distributed than federated. I think that only centralised messengers are capable of providing such features reliably as I've yet to see any evidence to the contrary.
