Tuta mail and calendar has been a real easy switch. I imported my emails from proton and just started a fresh calendar because I could and it was a good excuse to clean mine up.
The iOS apps work well and the experimental flatpak on desktop has been totally fine.
I have very little complaints so far tbh. I’m not like blown away or anything but everything just seems to work.
yeah, its pretty crazy how involved it is (at least seemingly to me) to host your own email.
this was my take after the last drama with the CEO but this was enough for me to not want to give them money anymore.
I may continue to use one of their free services like the authenticator though since I don’t love my other options and I just don’t want to give them money. I’m not even a huge privacy person, just, like you, wanted to leave google behind.
Yeah, so my needs are super minimal tbh so Tuta does plenty for me.
No integration with mail clients or IMAP support but they have a linux desktop flatpak or appimage that integrates well for me and an iOS app that also works well for me. I’ve been using the experimental flatpak on mint cinnamon and it’s been working well so far. No major issues.
I was also using proton vpn a lot but not anymore! I never used mail clients so that isn’t a thing I need to worry about luckily, and neither does anyone in my family.
I’ll check out airvpn, so thanks for the rec. I wish bitwarden had free auth but I’m open to just using it as my pw manager.
I’m excited, I’m installing LMDE today and looking forward to getting these tools soon.
Wife and I stayed in, grabbed take out and wine, caught up on bake off. No complaints, lovely night.
Man we’re the same person lol I too use geany for basically everything and tried out Kate because it felt more feature complete but it just isn’t. There is nothing I can do on Kate that I can’t do in Geany that is relevant to me. Mostly Lua programming and markdown editing.
I’d say just make a theme that fits the KDE style and use some breeze icons in the editor to make it feel more like it belongs and use what works and is comfortable.
I still use gnome and so I made a gnome builder editor theme and made the whole editor look like gnome builder and it works wonderfully. I bet the same is possible for kde.
Seeing as we’re on lemmy and I’m sure other people here hold very strong opinions on these things:
I really don’t understand why people get so fixated on these things. Can I type in it, and they do the thing? 10/10 no notes.
