Ah yes, the anglocentrism of software development. I gave up on Google translate years ago because it clearly only catered to English speakers. The other way around was such ham fisted mistranslations with English syntax, it was basically useless.

I second Wallabag — IMO "slick" is a nice-to-have, not a must-have when weighing software choices against each other.

At least Wallabag has a long and robust track record of not selling users out to bullshit tech corpos. That counts for more in my book than shiny surfaces.

I understand the ease from an admin POV, but besides locking users into a third party, corporate suite, everything UX about Office365 sucks balls.

You tried 1234 and password already, right?

Ah, great work cornering the market. Let the "AI"s have it then.

So fork the latest enshittifree release, setup your own web app, pretend nothing has changed?

So what you're saying is, vote Borg. Gotcha 👍

That is certainly an improvement over Signal, yeah.

Yeah, I'm not invested in either online opinion-haver, but have read the occasional tech post by both that made sense... in isolation from their idiosyncratic ickinesses.

I'm sure this "DeVault Report" may have truth to it, I was just turned off by the first, retaliatory paragraphs. Like, "we could've let you perv on minors, but then you went after our guy" vibes.

I only read up to the part where they pinned the Stallman Report on DeVault and then claimed that thing they just mentioned definitely had nothing to do with this hit piece, nope, nothing.

Need I read any further, i.e. does this have legs beyond "we dug up some dirt on this guy because he said bad things about our groupthink ringleader"?

Yeah, "Matrix as IRC" with general interest rooms is an unmonitored cesspool. "Matrix as IM" for staying in touch with mates is doing just fine.

"Slightly biased", yeah.
