That sounds awful. And a major loss to accessibility. Here's hoping one of the standards gains traction as the one path everyone can agree on.

I'm not up to speed on this issue, but it seems like the solution is to push forward with making the readers work in Wayland? Is there a technical issue with Wayland's design that prevents readers from working properly?

That sounds awful. We shouldn't support that kind of invasive tech for any reason.

That's perfectly fine for some things, but for most people letting their browser choice dictate what sites they use is backwards

I second Voyager. Has a pwa and fdroid options, works very well and is gaining customizations all the time.

Really like eternity, but I don't have the time or skills to help develop it.

Did you forget the ./s or something? Lemmy itself is developed on GitHub, as are plenty of other "valuable" open source projects. To pretend nothing of value is built there is putting your head in the sand.

If you're developing software on GitHub you have a chance at getting some useful feedback, bug reports and maybe even PRs. Like it or not, the network effect is real.

You can easily migrate custom domain that to proton for email, calendar, and drive. What you'll struggle with is docs and sheets.

Absolutely. That's a fantastic way to do the "copy/paste" I definitely think it helps when learning new language.

The reality is that you can't. So accept that going in and realize your learning will be iterative.

You'll be overwhelmed, that's OK. Copy paste code until you get something working. Here's the key. At that point stop, go back and understand the code you copied, why it works, and then try to rewrite it differently now that you know what worked.

Metaphor for writing. Start with a quote, then paraphrase it. Do that enough and you'll start to be able to adlib and come up with your own solutions.

There are enough people working this problem that we can realistically aim for both and capitalize on incremental improvements in each area along the way.

That's no worse than you started. The fact remains nobody is going to get 100% coverage of their contact list on the fediverse without Meta, so trading a Facebook account for a threads account is no different, and it ignores the benefits of that time when you maybe able to live without either.
