With the prevalence of Social Media in the world, should we for convenience, include Social Media applications in Lite Software?
Not a fan of social media either but families do use whatsapp from their phones, Being able to do that from a desktop would be convenient?
A point worth considering may be that if something is listed in Lite Software the newcomer would likely see that as an endorsement of the listed software. I know I tended to when I came to LL first. So perhaps a disclaimer to the effect "we include some apps by popular demand without endorsement as to privacy etc.". Otherwise there is the danger of being seen to offer a false sense of reassurance in apps which are attracting major media debate, especially in regard to mental health issues in young users. And of course privacy problems.
I have already written a simple instruction on how to install a proper (with the indicator on the panel) Google cloud client (not a mounted folder!) easily and free of charge. I'll post it in the thread with your link a little later, since I have some personal things to do now.
I also consider cloud services to be part of social networks because there people exchange links, files and even letters. Isn't it like in a social network? Therefore, if LL-users could see in Lite Software the ability to install Google Drive, for example, it would be great, since installing it causes problems for many users now.
