    Good to know what to omit, also:

    Use and fund open alternatives to the boycotted tools: Bitwarden instead of 1Password, Nextcloud or Co-op Cloud instead of Dropbox or AWS, WooCommerce or Openfront instead of Shopify, Signal, Matrix, XMPP, or Delta Chat instead of Slack. Sourcehut, Gitea, or Forgejo instead of GitHub.

    I bet here’s a typo, because I can’t believe Matrix is also bad

      Use and fund open alternatives to the boycotted tools: …Signal, Matrix, XMPP, or Delta Chat instead of Slack.

      This is a recommendation of Matrix as opposed to Slack. A good recommendation in general (even if Omarchy didn’t exist).

        Astonishing that Free and Open Source Software with little to no employees cannot compete exactly 1:1 with a VC funded company with a hundred full-time employees.

        edit: 2.545 employees as of 2021. I even have to wonder how do they need so many, what for?

          I was responding to the poster’s suggestion that there was a typo, I think there isn’t but it’s just a bit hard to read, and all those I quoted are in the “better options” column.

            Not gonna lie, the whole text confused me at first

            Bitwarden instead of “1Password”,

            Nextcloud or Co-op Cloud instead of “Dropbox or AWS”,

            WooCommerce or Openfront instead of Shopify,

            Signal, Matrix, XMPP, or Delta Chat instead of Slack.

            Sourcehut, Gitea, or Forgejo instead of GitHub.

            I don’t know why they didn’t use the dots, but it doesn’t really matter, the message is almost clear after all
