IIRC, nothing changed.

Take for example practices of PayPal or VISA etc. Nothing changed.

> Cloud backup works for average users. That includes keypass. Heck, even HN users do it that way. The only difference is that we have 16 word DiceWare passwords and key files on YubiKey devices.

Sorry most HN users are the ones building closed systems.

Sure, they work in FAANG for 10 years - get enough $$$M then sure complain things are NOT open.

> it's a lack of recourse when things go wrong.

but does it happen outside of banking etc. Most average Joe does not keep 10 year old email like a geek. They keep moving on.

I am a 20 year veteran of linux user. Sadly and frustratingly

- There is no easy open solution for google drive or docs

- Dont ask average Joe to do hosting/nextcloud etc

- I wish some one like FSF, Linux foundatation built some products that are usable (like firefox phone). Even during firefox phone sales, I found most of the EU devs were using for their daily use iPhone or expensive Samsung Galaxy. It is ridiculous to tell others to use 512MB or 1GB firefox phone when they used state of art

- Even recently I wanted to implement something like Codeberg at a large University. No help from their side.
