They’re supporting commercialized, walled-garden social media platforms instead of ones that are publicly accessible

For electronics try Swappa or Jawa

I understand your point and I support & contribute to FOSS. But I was specifically addressing the claim that Telegram reads all messages and sells them to the highest bidder. They don’t currently, unless someone can point me towards a credible source

• Pebble Time Steel (2015)

  • Helps me use my phone less, timers/alarms/stopwatch, rings my phone when lost, sleep tracking

• Galaxy Buds Plus (2020)

  • No frills, battery life is excellent due to no ANC, compact charging case

• Soundfreaq Sound Spot (2013)

  • Easy to use, hook up two for stereo, sounds fine to my ear, found another recently for $20

Most stuff works as expected. Here’s a guide from 9to5Google

Yeah, I think those two definitely aren’t enough. Plus asking for an interest doesn’t make a lot of sense coming over from Reddit. Most people aren’t looking to join a server for only interest because they’re used to being in subreddits for various interests

China is pro-Palestinian, so it’s still directly related

I’ve used Telegram for years and never seen an ad. Their Privacy Policy says ads aren’t based on messages

Unlike other services, we don’t use your data for ad targeting or other commercial purposes. Telegram only stores the information it needs to function as a secure and feature-rich cloud service.

Telegram offers a tool for advertisers to promote their messages in public one-to-many channels, but these sponsored messages are based solely on the topic of the public channels in which they are shown. No user data is mined or analyzed to display ads or sponsored messages.

I have tracked them down: https://joesdaily.com/food-drink/hellofresh-spice-blends-how-to-make-them/

The trick is to use a search engine. In my case, I used DuckDuckGo

Perhaps if the differences between servers could be codified into one place then someone could create a “quiz” to help users narrow in on servers that are a good fit. Like this website: https://www.dumbphones.org/dumbphone-quiz

Dumb

On the Orion forums their staff consistently bullies people around

I hear ya. That’s why everyone says to use your own domain. Then when you change providers it’s just an update to your domain instead of all your accounts

Oh I see. That makes sense. I think Bitwarden can be hooked up to alias providers but I’ve never tried that myself

It’s worth noting Proton’s email export tool (marketed as backup & restore) is pretty decent. This Python script can sort them by folders & labels too

Simplelogin is owned by Proton. If you meant Addy.io that’s $1/mo or $3/mo. Personally I don’t think Addy.io is strictly necessary with Tuta though. Just add a custom domain and make up your own aliases (or some password managers can generate & save them for you)

External calendars I’ve imported have a bunch of events on the wrong days. I reported the issue and here’s what they told me:

It seems like some events in your .ics file use advanced repetition rules which are not supported in the Tuta calendar yet. We are currently working on this to improve compatibility and hope to release them soon so the calendar should be imported correctly.

I know it’s a small development team, but it’s a little frustrating. A calendar service supporting only a subset of the ICS standard is silly in my opinion

Based on my understanding, Tuta is better for aliases compared to Proton. Their alias limit doesn’t apply to custom domains, only the domains they own (tuta.com, tutamail.com, tuta.io, tutanota.com, tutanota.de, keemail.me)

Can the proton client sync both files and photos to PC?

No

It’s a small team and I think they’re being flooded with support issues due to the Proton exodus
