Well, because FOSS apps are usually the best/most user friendly option even if they're not always the most popular. If you woke up after a 30 year coma and had no prior commitments to using any particular software, there would be absolutely zero question that Linux is the best OS today.

An OS is a complicated thing, yet the FOSS option is the safest, most user friendly, and most versatile. I'm just a little surprised there isn't a browser that checks those boxes too, since the browser is a widely used thing. But I'm guessing because Firefox exists the number of devs willing to give the time investment just isn't as many.

Bazzite is a custom image of Kinoite, but I'm not surprised it's taking off, it's great.

Y'all will always blame the woman for the actions of a man.

Instapaper is nice and probably where I'll end up. Others have suggested Wallabag to me which has a less than 1€/month plan.

Not bad for free. Appreciate you checking.

Uhhh... Can someone ELI18 to me the problem with passkeys? I use them wherever available and find them very convenient.

Eh, cryptocurrency was never supposed to solve any problem, it was a proof of concept that pariah states realized could enable them to avoid US sanctions. The "it's more secure than banks" talking points were conceived after the fact by the grifters.
