but I thought apple were the good guys /s

not sure tbh. one time I did an uninstall/reinstall and that fixed the issue.

did you try clearing your browser cache? seems to fix a lot.

https://cryptpad.fr/ as an alternative to Googles online office suite.

end-to-end encrypted and open-source collaboration suite.

still really early in development but if you primarily work from the browser on a desktop/laptop, it works well enough. I’ve struggled with getting sheets working on a mobile browser but I really like that you could completely self host if you want or just pay them to do it for you.

Just saw some of your comments and really like how you’re using the spoiler tag. Will try to emulate it going forward. Appreciate your feedback and style. The internet urgently needs more comments backed by evidence!

I’m interested in running one. any services you can link to that are that cheap?

In addition, it’s estimated to current cost about $500 a month just to store the contents of a relay server. this doesn’t include network or computer cost. this will only get more expensive and lead to big businesses being the only players. relays, being the “Post office” of bluesky, have the power to suppress whatever they don’t like.

ActivityPub really is “for the people”.

my personal dislike for it is that the claims of decentralization are countered by how expensive it is to operate in a truly decentralized manner.

To be truly decentralized you would need to run a relay server, not just a PDS which many people already do and simply holds your data. Unfortunately, the cost to run a relay server today is already about $500+ a month [1] and will only be getting more expensive.

Lastly, while the fediverse has figured out decentralized DM’s, Bluesky DM’s are completely centralized [1] and only work thanks to being funneled through their servers. I wouldn’t call what they have private considering they can read what everyone on Bluesky is saying privately. Granted, fediverse DM’s are not encrypted either, but at least they’re decentralized and don’t allow a single provider access to everyone’s private messages.

Checkout Notesnook. I’ve tried most of the ones you’ve listed and have been really enjoying how well it works compared to the competition considering its end-to-end encrypted.

A few features:

• Clients and server are open source.
• End-to-end encrypted note syncing.
• You can publish public notes.
• You can publish privates notes that require a password to view.
• You can self-host the sync server.
• You can self-host the publishing server.
• Full offline mode.
• At rest encryption.
• Multi-platform clients with feature parity (Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, MacOS, Web).
• Most if not all of the general features you’d expect from a notes taking application.

One thing I really like about the project is how open they are about what they’re doing, why they’re doing it and what the future holds. It’s been great seeing their roadmap (https://notesnook.com/roadmap/) and seeing promised features land with new ones being added, and I’ve only been using it for less than a year now!
