You absolutely aren’t wrong there.

Always in favour of healthy competition.

The first and easiest thing I’m seeing is to up that meager developer hardware budget.

I run JF in a docker container, and although I don’t have backups of my config files yet (because I don’t really care about setting up from scratch if need be), it would be trivial to simply backup the mounted config volumes. Makes upgrading safe and easy, too.

That’s probably how I would recommend going about this, personally.

I use Connect, and I have no complaints.

Tried Jerboa early on, but at the time it was super buggy. Hopefully it’s better now - I feel like a FOSS app is a way better option for Lemmy just on principle.

Same. 10 minutes would be fine, compared to not noticing I’ve been messaged until the next day.

Well heck, colour me interested. Thanks for the heads up!

Does it have an async mode?

Chess Time is a great asynchronous chess app with only an unobtrusive banner ad. My wife and I always have a casual game going.

Did they ever fix that issue from a while back where they started collecting personal data on users?

If you so chose to, yep.

Nope, it’d give details. Combing through and decrypting those details is another matter, though.

Sponsorblock is another great one (provided it works on mobile).

If you’re on Android, you could probably open your notes app as a picture-in-picture window and just make it really small on your screen.

Other than that, I just use a font small enough that I can read it, but it would be difficult to read at a distance. Not foolproof, but better than nothing for privacy.
