asked this somewhere else, but does anyone know how it compares to Cryptpad which is also developed in France, open source, self hostable, collaborative, and end-to-end encrypted?

H.265 is patent encumbered. Blame the 2 or 3(?) patent pool holders (for-profit corporations, unlike non-profit -and-slowly-losing-market-share Mozilla) for not making it free to use for everyone.

This is why AV1 is preferred, it saves bandwidth and there's no threat of being sued into oblivion.

But then you're indirectly giving the enemy (Google) power by increasing their browser market share, which in turn lets them dictate the future of the web.

I love good news!

Just a reminder for anyone not in the know:

While Bluesky is better than Xitter right now, don't forget that it's still a centralized service that has censored - and will continue to censor - content they disagree with. Bluesky Relay servers costs so much to run that it's only financially feasible for big corporations to run them. This forces centralization, although technically can be decentralized, and puts it's end users onto the same path of enshittification that Xitter and other social networks have gone through.

Mastodon, while imperfect, is actually decentralized (including DM's - all Bluesky DMs are centralized amd can be viewed by its admins) and cannot suffer this type of censorship.

I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I'm kinda done with them. Anyone have any suggestions for a mail provider? I'm not yet willing to self-host that.

just tell people to join mastodon.social. problem solved

Which is a great workaround but then all your private notes are on Google's servers, accessible to anyone with enough admin rights on their end. All apps should be end-to-end encrypted going into 2025. There's no reason security AND privacy shouldn't be included.

I've never seen constant login reminders, but I've only used it in a browser, and the Android/Window/Linux apps are you seeing it on iOS? Maybe its a bug? If you go to settings in the app and then click "Help and support" > "Report an issue" you can open a github issue. I've had really good success in getting issues resolved.

technically yes. they just recently made the sync server open source - https://github.com/streetwriters/notesnook-sync-server - but their documentation for it is still pending.

I've been following their progress for a while and can say that they appear to be following through on all their goals. and are very responsive to issues on GitHub. but don't take my word for it, check out their roadmap to see when they release the self hosting documentation- https://notesnook.com/roadmap/

did you vote? because a lot of people didn't even do that.
