  That’s a losing game because Microsoft will just break things on their side again.

  Less dependent on American tech would be to stop promoting an American format as a first choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Euro Office has actual releases on their DesktopEditors github⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they support actual standards, or are they insisting on implementing a broken version of Microsoft’s format?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local Mastodon Instance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you go really out of the beaten path, a client that only reads from other instances could use the RSS feed to go around the signed requests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox has an ambitious new roadmap, the browser is also losing millions of users a month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those look like the numbers of the telemetry endpoints, and that’s the first thing most forks remove.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Fairphone turns into a dumbphone at the flick of a switch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with most dumphone modes is that "normal" Phone and SMS (RCS makes the latter better, but your provider needs to support it, and it usually adds one more Google dependency) are useless if your social network extends past one country, and that's not that uncommon in Europe. I would need to at least be able to include Signal for it to work for me.
