no custom domain. I've switched between I think four different gmails, one protonmail, one tutamail, and one disroot (my current one right now). I have set up mailfence for a sibling. Don't know why I do that, but I do. Changing up the email helps clear out any old accounts I don't use. I also change between my email name to various different things and such which is fun.

Cryptee is pretty decent, but I prefer using Joplin + Backblaze for syncing. Just my preference I guess. mailee and runbox seem quite good too, thanks for sharing!

But that only works with other ProtonMail users, and most people use other providers

Yeah but don't think you could get Proton Mail working, for example, on your favourite mobile mail app.

I currently use an old iPhone that likely won't need replacing any time soon. I hate Lightning and I hate Apple's closed ecosystem, but this is what I'm stuck with. If I do get an android, f-droid seems like a good place to look for apps!

never heard of this one before, I might try it out! For me though, using invidious as a web app is perfectly fine, but Unwatched seems pretty cool

I have tried as much as I can use things like Organic Maps, NetNewsWire, etc. on my iPhone though. Unfortunately Apple isn’t very keen on opening up its ecosystem and most apps are not so open. If I ever get a new phone (it will probably be a long while until I do need one) it will be an Android since they are more open, have way more choice, and much better hardware (cameras, battery, etc.)

just sharing my experiences and such! :D

seems pretty cool. Never heard of Soulseek before, apparently it’s a peer-to-peer music sharing thing

unfortunately I still use an iPhone and it probably won’t need to be replaced for a few years. Reducing waste and all that, right?

I mean all I’m using is Steam, adding them as “non-steam games”. I’ve also found some game art to make it look nice. For me at least, I haven’t run into any issues besides at one point one of my games was missing a few shaders causing it to render improperly (I forgot to move the files from my Windows installation, but after I did everything worked!)

It wasn’t difficult to install at all! I just installed steam (for fedora you need to make sure you enable third-party repos when furst installing the OS) and that’s basically it. I’ve also installed Wine manually (not very hard, just “sudo dnf install wine” on fedora) to run a few non-game programs like some compiled .exe programs I made a few years ago by running “wine [program name]”. It’s crazy how simple it all is now!

Storing 2FA into your password manager kind of defeats the point of having two factors (one password to get all your passwords as well as 2fa). Besides, it’s just six digits.

Also, I don’t like the idea of “putting all my eggs in one basket”. Hence why I never really used Proton Drive, VPN, etc. Proton Pass is pretty decent though, but I like Bitwarden and KeePass more.

Also I HATE that Proton Mail doesn’t support the IMAP protocol that almost everyone supports (even Apple, the king of walled gardens, supports it!) and only kind of support it with their paid “Bridge”.

there, I fixed it. Now it's a bit more clear!

that makes sense...but why is there two of them? That's really weird. And I don't think they want you to quit OneDrive...

Also, since they own the operating system (Windows), they could easily just sync the folders directly. (Documents, Pictures, Desktop, Music, and Videos) That's where most people put their files in, so why not just sync that? Why move everything into a special OneDrive directory with all the issues that comes with that?

I like vscodium. Basically the same as vscode but without MS stuff. (but that also means a few extensions are gone, like the c/c++ extension and intellicode)

A VPN. I couldn’t get V2rayA (the vpn uses v2ray, there’s a win + mac app for that specific vpn but not linux) to work. I might have to have another crack at it soon…

edit: Clash Verge (rev) works like a charm! Hooray!

I edited my post, thanks for telling me :D

letting AI do whatever it wants to your files is not very good...
