I second the complaint about subpaths. I have all my services on a single domain, except for HA. It's for security by obscurity, when you issue a certificate for a subdomain you start getting malicious traffic probing for vulnerabilities almost immediately. I don't have this problems for services with non-obvious subpaths.

I can't understand the stubbornness of developers to accept patches for fixing this problem.

Space is one thing, bandwidth is another when you don't have a gigabit connection or ability to upgrade to one

I don't need to do it with native-installed programs. And they are properly integrated with the OS, if you install them:

  1. You get a menu entry in gui
  2. You get a binary or a wrapper in /usr/bin

There is no .desktop menu entry and i need to remember a lengthy fqdn which does not autocomplete, great ui

In Gajim flatpak too, plugins only can be used if packaged for Flatpak.

Woah. What a great explanation. I legitimately never understood the deal with iMessage too and you made a logical explanation that clicks. Thank you.

Kodi is good for many streaming services too, just not Netflix. It has been good with HBO Max.

You did not say what kind of streaming services.

For anything self-hosted or torrents/debrid, just get a Raspberry Pi with LibreELEC.

If you use Netflix and the likes, you will likely want something officially supported. My partner likes Netflix for some reason and after years of using the unofficial addon by CastaginaIT, I gave up and got her a Firestick this winter (having set up a separate VLAN for it and ripped out the microphone, of course).

The unofficial Kodi addon is an amazing piece of reverse engineering work, but it's not really great that you have to log in using your computer every month or two, and occasionally download a 2GB binary, before you can watch a movie on Netflix half-asleep.

Are you an xkcdpass bot?

I never got used to the f-key navigation, if i can't use shift+arrows i fall back to mouse.

I don't know, maybe Brave has this, unfortunately some time before Opera 9 and now I became one of these annoying people who only use FOSS.

Same here. And the single-key shortcuts for switching tabs. Modern browsers don't even come close.
