Thank you, I’ll keep working to make it better

Wait what? How do I do that?

Since installing Linux, my battery life has more than doubled.

That alone is reason enough to switch to Linux

I play Astrum (a calming YouTube channel about space) and watch it till I fall asleep (~5min)

I setup my own mini server for the first time running nextcloud. Now need to figure out backups

I just ordered a cheap mini PC from AliExpress for 82€

What would that cost in the US? Double? More?

Beautiful

That data comes from a survey of only 1250 people.

That’s a really small sample size considering there is likely 10 billion+ active email addresses.

I’m currently using 5 email address weekly (2 for work and 3 for personal use)

Two of those are gmail (trying to move away)

But you have a really good point, I’ll look for data on this

Do you have any source for that?

The sources I’ve found doesn’t show they have that big a market share

I used to split my drive in half to dual boot. But I’ve never booted back into windows since installing Linux Mint.

Should have just wiped the drive and installed Linux

You’re right, thanks for the input. I’ll make adjustments to take care of these flaws in the scoring system.

Thanks, this is very useful to know

Myself and my family will be using it to replace Microsoft/Google products

Excel, Google docs, word, pdf etc.

I would argue that is two different issues

“Are you free to easily move around and control your data” = High decentralization score

“do you have full control over your data?” = A different question

The scoring system is basically there to put a number on “How free are users and hosts of a platform to move around?” Or “How much power is in the hands of the people and not a few companies?”

For me Email scores very high in this regard.

As far as I know most Lemmy instances leverages paid-for or freemium services to have their instances work easily/properly

OnlyOffice claim to be Open Source https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE Is that just a deception? and their core code is closed source?

If that’s the case I’m likely going with NextCloud Office, one of the reasons I’m hosting nextcloud etc. is to move away from proprietary software and to OpenSource

Here I’m a bit in two minds, sure it’s difficult to SELF host email, but in practice it isn’t because there are hundreds (Thousands?) of hosting options to choose from where you can choose your own domain etc. for the low price of basically-free

Why is there a “Top Provider Content Share” metric if its gonna score the same as the “Top Provider User Share” every time ?

As said in the footer, this is a work in progress, I’m posting it to get input and still refining sources

Why is the Top Provider Content Share not higher than the user share ? For instance, emails usually have at least one sender and one recipient, making it twice as likely that at least one of them is using gmail. If an email has 10 recipients across 10 different providers, each provider has a copy of the data

I’d love to get better data on this, I’ve looked but not yet found better data than what I included in the source

Why is ease of hosting a mail server rated so well ? How is “leveraging email hosting services” decentralized in any way ?

Why are we using a random repo created a few hours ago by a random github user as a reference ?

It’s my repo, it’s to keep track of the versions and so that others can copy, edit and share it if they like.
