Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.

That’s the same response I always get. But once I show them how much easier it is, it’s so much easier. I can’t believe there was a time I didn’t use one.

A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

Personal: Signal mostly, for personal chats I do also have Telegram and WhatsApp. I am starting to use Matrix for community chats as I just discovered it.

Work: Microsoft Teams.

Work Desktop: Microsoft Outlook Work Mobile: Microsoft Outlook Home Desktop: mail.google.com Home Mobile: GMail android app

Why? Because I was on Proton personally for a long time but got frustrated with the lack of features and also my wife and I rely heavily on shared groupware stuff like calendars and reminders, so we switched back to Google Mail. Once Proton is a bit more feature-rich, we’ll take a look at it again.

I have not, but I will! Thanks!

Unfortunately, I went back to less privacy-focused platforms. My wife and I rely heavily on shared calendars, reminders, tasks, desktop drive clients, and other groupware functionality. So we’re back with those Google bastards for now.

Like I said I really like the general concepts of Proton and was a paying user for over a year, but eventually we just had to move back to Google because of the lack of features.

If their offerings become more mature, then we’ll absolutely be looking at coming back!

I saw this the other evening and played it. Man, it went from 0-100 real quick. Really wild little game!

This is exactly my sentiment. I had an account with two mail users, custom domain, one VPN connection, etc. for a couple of years. It was nice but while ProtonMail is one of their most mature product, it still feels quite lacking compared to other offerings. And with every other product they have, things feel less and less thorough. I support their efforts, but don’t really want to pay for the way they’re doing it. I still keep an eye out though, because I think it has a lot of potential.

1 year of salary extra would be unbelievably life-changing. Like…every single stress in life would be eliminated. Shoot, even $10k extra would be HUGELY beneficial.

Been thinking about starting to drive Door dash or another side gig to supplement income.

I’ll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can’t find what I need then I’ll use Google.

But at this point I’m using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.

Oh, absolutely! I did a lot of consuming on Reddit, and only participated in a couple specific communities.

Here, I feel far more inclined to actively participate.

I also use Bitwarden both for passwords and TOTP. I secure it with password + Yubikey. Works well enough it seems! If I ever have any concerns I’ll move TOTP to Aegis in a heartbeat though.

Anecdotally, I have to say iPhone seems to have terrible battery life. My wife and several friends all have had the last few iPhones and they seem to be charging their phones all the time. At least every night but often during the day as well. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was amazing. Like 1.5 days of battery. Then I got my Google Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro and it blew my mind. I go 2+ days on a charge no problem.

I suppose to be fair I use my phone more like I did my BlackBerry back in the day, whereas they all use TikTok and stuff fairly frequently.

You don’t have to tell me twice! Thanks for the invite!

Yes! Little Pembroke Welsh Corgi x Chihuahua mix. He’s a cute little bugger!

YouTube Pants™ coming soon to a mobile app near you!

I love the iPhone hardware. Especially the mini.

But I really don’t like iOS. Or the lightning connector.

Same thing with Macs.

Overall I think Apple makes gorgeous hardware but the software just isn’t for me.

I always tell people the best phone (or best one iPhone vs Android) is whatever is best for them.

My wife loves her iPhone and everything about it, and that’s okay!

It’s a good point, albeit a highly unfortunate one. No faster way to get me to spend less time in your app than to make it the same as all the others, you know?
