NextCloud Contacts supports syncing using the CardDAV standard. iOS supports this natively and it can be used on Android with the DAVx5 app. There are also desktop apps that support it as well such as Thunderbird.
It’s very anti competitive and monopolistic if you ask me
I don't disagree, but while I would love having full Firefox on iOS, the one positive of the current situation is that it is the only thing keeping Google from a complete browser monopoly. Firefox marketshare is insignificant, and without WebKit on iOS devices, Chromium browsers would make up 95% of the browser market. I think that would be worse overall in the long-term than iPhone users being stuck with Safari skins.
Ente is another option that I have been using for almost 2 years now. It's end-to-end encrypted and open source with an app on F-Droid. There have been a lot of updates over the last year that have significantly improved the experience using the app.
Basic email is free, but you need iCloud+ to get support for custom domains and more than 5GB of storage.
Yes, that's still true. If you want to be able to use a third-party mail app, I would look at Fastmail or Mailbox.org. They don't have free plans though.
Proton Mail and Tutanota are great free options.
I have been using ente for around two years now and it has been working well. It’s not perfect, but has been improving quickly. Your photos are end-to-end encrypted so you are the only one who can access them. The app is also open source and available on F-Droid which is awesome. The prices aren’t the best, but privacy isn’t free. You either need to pay for it, or put the time and effort into hosting it yourself like Immich or Nextcloud. Ente does have a 1 year free trial with 1GB of storage to test it out.
Edit: After rereading your post, I saw you wanted general cloud storage as well. Maybe give Filen a try. It is also end-to-end encrypted and open source. It doesn’t have any photo specific features like albums since it is a generic cloud storage service, but it does have a photos tab to view your uploaded photos.
If actual Hitler worked on a project should we all just use that project even though Hitler made it?
It's called Volkswagen, one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
I recommend Roku to people who don't want to pay for an Apple TV because the UI is very simple and easy to use. It's just an app grid. My parents weren't able to figure out how to use Fire TV or Android/Google TV because it throws too much at them making it difficult to find what they are looking for. I also dislike that a lot of the content recommendations are for services I don't pay for, which makes them useless and nothing but ads.
This is the FOSS community and neither Sync nor Boost are open source.
Graphene OS > iOS > Stock Android
The same is true for stock Android devices. Unless you are using a custom ROM without Google Play Services, there is more proprietary software than open source running on Android devices.
It is different. Funds donated to the Mozilla Foundation cannot be used for Firefox development because that is handled by the Mozilla Corporation. Money from the Mozilla services can be used for Firefox development, but there is still no guarantee that they won't be used for something else. I wish there was a way to donate specifically to Firefox, but it seems like Mozilla tries to be unclear about how money is used.
if I thought some government or company was going to use stuff I develop to launch the nukes or control a robot fist to punch cute little puppies right in the snout then I'd start using a more restrictive license
A more restrictive license wouldn't help in that case. They would just have to publish any changes they made to your code. The primary benefit of restrictive licenses like the GPL is to prevent someone from using your code in a proprietary project without contributing anything back.
Sony says hi :)
