OMG, thank you! Until now I thought I was the only person to be fucking annoyed by this shit.

Ah I see. Yeah I try to do the same as much as possible. But there still are those apps that just don’t offer such functionality, unfortunately.

Ah I see, thanks!

Sounds good, thank you!

Alright, thank you!

A question on the self hosted app backups: Do you mean using synchronization functionalities that the apps themselves have built-in? Like using a contacts app that syncs the contacts via CardDav? Or do you actually synchronize the apps themselves with their app-specific data (like settings etc.)? Because if that is possible, I would be very interested!

Yeah, your points really do make sense. Thank you for your insights!

I could also imagine DRM, though not directly privacy related, being a thing. Like the issues of freedom and openness are probably also important to many people who value privacy and might therefore prefer GOG or something over Steam.

Edit: I see someone else mentioned this already: https://lemmy.world/comment/16903223
