I eagerly await the day we abandon the "app" ideology. These apps are nothing more than gateways to popular services like Facebook, Gmail, so forth. Apps are more convenient, but we often trade convenience for lack of privacy.

Earlier I stated "where are the options". Things like ProtonMail instead of Gmail, VK instead of Facebook, Mastodon instead of Twitter, so forth already exist. But they're still not in a place where I can tell my mother that she can easily join, use and trust those things.

And having my mother enter in a ton of commands into a browser or worse, a terminal is not where I want to be on a Tuesday night trying to help her out over the phone doing parental PC support.

Things need to change. But it at least needs to be approachable by the layman.
