Microsoft products in this area are weird to me. Like C#, Powershell is great on one hand yet annoying and more difficult to rangle on the other compared to other solutions that are out there.

Yeah because fuck hustle culture.

It’s truly amazing what can happen when they don’t cut quite so many corners and release the minimal viable product.

I’m surprised that Vivaldi isn’t more popular next to Brave tbh.

You get Chromium with a bunch of other features if you want them, but no crypto crap. They even run their own Mastodon instance with built-in functionality out of the box.

I’m just happy we have all of these choices.

The FOSS apps are fantastic already and Sync is there if you want that too.

Paid software absolutely has a place in the world. Evil companies producing evil software designed to build a monopoly and lock out FOSS apps do not. I don’t think Sync falls into the latter and I’m happy they’ve made the choice to be able to eat.
