The hard part is unlearning last century distro mindset, not this.

I run syncthing with my own relay and I trust that setup. Owning me through syncthing would basically require backdooring the software, something that’d be likely to go noticed by the syncthing community.

Rustdesk is a backdoor by functionality and it’s already using infra I don’t control. I don’t feel comfortable using that.

It’s literally a third-party service that let’s others control your desktop. Doesn’t matter how FOSS the clients and end servers are, one also needs to trust the intermediate servers. If those running them are caught dishonest about which country they’re located, the trust evaporates. China or not.

Fight how? Sternly scold the capacitor on the last mobo it supports before it leaks out?

Not enough, keep browsing.

Electron app I don’t use is less chances to get a normal app.

“Not using the app” means instead of developing a real one, I’m being pointed at an abomination.

We are aware, and we’d take “no app” any day, thank you.

Now do JACK.

Just write them yourself.
