Yeah I completely agree when you put it that way. I’ve been doing this for the desktop web apps that I used to have installed (Discord, Spotify, Teams) accessing them via a browser instead.

I’ve been meaning to tidy up my phone anyway so I’ll give the mobile Web UI a good go.

Why is it that you don’t use 3rd party apps? I have no issue with Jerboa and have used it extensively, but I’m mainly wondering if there’s something I’m missing with 3rd party Lemmy clients.

From my subscriptions, I don’t have anyone who deals with racecars, but I enjoy Flexiny and Aging Wheels for old car content.

Maybe for the positions you may have been in; had I used Linux at any of those other jobs there would constantly be document compatibility issues between LibreOffice and Word, and in an IT position I wouldn’t be able to replicate issues a user is facing, unable to read Windows memory dumps or event logs on my own machine, the RMM doesn’t have a client for a tech to use on Linux, and that’s just scratching the surface.

The benefits of Linux for me (no ads, no telemetry, familiarity of the terminal and config files, open source, privacy, sticking it to big tech, etc.) just don’t translate into things that would make me more productive at work.

None of my desk jobs have ever allowed a personal computer because of the risk of data leaking.

Was cautioned about an employee at our competitor who used a personal device, it was stolen and it had client data on it including some of their IP, and when that client took legal action, because the employee acted out of company policy they were on the hook for it.
