Great software is free software.

Out of the many brilliant #FOSS tools out there, ZDNet’s Jack Wallen picks seven he considers so good he’d gladly “throw down some cash“.

And guess what? Nextcloud is one of them. Well, we wouldn’t settle for less 😉

to be honest, Nextcloud are among the best in the open-source community, at least by far not the worst. Most of the open-source devs like to preach about European sovereignty, "great is free", "quit GAFAM" and all these sweet but practically useless things if you are blind, have reduced mobility or have other accessibility needs, but don't give a flying F about #Accessibility. It's better in the mobile land for some reason, but on desktop…You need it, you fix it, — that's what I read lots and lots of times. At least web version of Nextcloud is not bad. As for desktop… it's QT, so, I'm afraid, it will never be usable enough. I have plans to overcome it, and you'll know about it among the first.

@elettrona Even if you are a developer (I am, for example). So yes, I'm probably the best person to fix it: I'm blind myself, I'm a developer, I'm an #Accessibility specialist. Great! But I cannot fix all and all the stuff, from operating systems to messengers to office suites to editors to... you name it. Because it's my work, and I need money for some reason to pay my bills… That's why I'm so angry about this whole "Move to Linux/quit GAFAM right now!!" movement.
