So do I. During lockdown a french hosting company set up bbb instances on their infrastructure, and the experience was really good (they even activated the “join with your phone” feature).
Zoom and Gmeet are usable (usually calls are stable and quality is ok) but closed-source shit, and I had a lot of stability issues on public jitsi instances (though I never self-hosted).

I’ve tried opentalk for the first time a few weeks ago (it’s included in my email provider plan) and it worked fine.

Amended title: Rental giant to take a huge step back in climate change fight and generate more GHG to protect their bottom line.

In a capitalistic world where your right to stay alive is determined by the money you make, replacing himan jobs by machine ones is a real problem.

If what was happening was “ok so the machines are gonna do that so you’re gonna have a lot more free time but you still get your wages”, I for one would be happy.

But what’s happening is more along the lines of “well I hope you didn’t just get a mortgage because here’s the door hahaha don’t be sad think lf the extra money the shareholders are going to make” and it’s a real problem.

Just because it’s logical that shitty bosses take shitty decisions which impact negatively other person’s lives doesn’t mean we can’t be upset and vocal about it.

meatspace name I laughed reading this, it has a strong SMBC vibe :)

Thanks for this educational post, TIL I learned something interesting (and sad/infuriating).

This was very informative, thanks !

Cryptpad is great but I don’t think it entirely fits OP’s requirements :

• it’s really private
• it’s in the cloud, so no self hosting is necessary
• they have a spreadsheet and a form app

However, last I checked, there was no way to automatically get the form answers in an already existing spreadsheet.

My dislike for brave is mostly about its chromium base - chrome being the embrace - extend- extinguish offensive on the web from google.

Running on that VM, I really enjoyed Flight of the Amazon Queen a few years back. Warning: it’s an oldie containing lots of sexist moments - I’m not sure I would enjoy it as much today.

I second that, been using mailbox for the past 6 months and it works like a charm. You also have a todo tool on mailbox that I think synchronizes via Caldav too, but I don’t use it so I don’t know how it compares to todo.txt

Proton has a nice UI and works well (I’ve used it for two years before moving to mailbox.org) but as of 6 months back, I was unable to make it work outside their walled garden. You can subscribe to proton calendar with any other calendar app, so you can read your calendar via caldav, but I found no way to edit it other than using their app.

I would recommand Proton for a lot of reasons, but if having a caldav calendar matrers to you I don’t think Proton is a good option.

Well, I find that really sad.

Whatever mistake they make, I think people living with constant fear of the threat posed by a totalitarian regime known for its violence against its own people deserve our sympathy.

Bought an FP3 for that reason (and because I’d rather be as late as I can to the moronic 5G-party).

I use Olaucher and it works great for me. You just long-press any app in the drawer and you get the “Hide” option.

It’s of course FOSS, I use the F-Droid version.

It’s entirely text though which I like, but maybe that doesn’t fit your needs - no icons and no widgets.
