Thanks! Seems like the project might be abandoned along with Slide. I’ve moved them to their own group.

Added. Thanks!

I’m assuming the developer has not made it available in your country yet. Or perhaps your country doesn’t have the pre-register feature?

Works for me in Canada.

Added! Thanks!

Ya, you should.

• No ads.
• Background play.
• Download videos
• YouTube Music Premium included

First one makes it worth it for me. Have you seen how many ads some videos have? It’s insane. Not interested in watching 8+ minutes of ads in a 45 minute video.

I know there are plugins, alternative apps, etc. to get the same stuff free, but I just prefer paying and never having to worry about any apps or plugins breaking. I just know it’ll be a perfect experience every time.

Careful. People here got angry at Linus from LMG when he said it’s important for creators to make money to continue paying their massive staff and bring more content.

Are you non-American? Seems like only Americans get any kind of deal. Rest of the world gets the middle finger.

I prefer Connect!

I don’t know if I would trust that, though.

Google’s authorized repair centers have diagnostic tools and software that allows very deep access to the phone. Something that a random maintenance mode wouldn’t hide.

When you take your Pixel in for repair, they force you to factory reset it, because they take privacy serious. They don’t want anyone to have access to your data through their repair tools.

I’d actually be very skeptical about this if I had a Samsung device. Is there proof that this mode cannot be accessed by their repair tools?

There are lots of changes under the hood. Even so, Chrome is at like version 1773574 now, because they threw away the concept of version numbers years ago.

Doesn’t Apple already do this? All of the parts on an iPhone are serialized so that any unofficial replacement part causes the device to freak out.

Apple is already ahead on the evil train.

I have their legacy “professional” plan, and the reason it’s so expensive is because back then, you could pay to add additional custom domains.

I believe they now removed that feature? I cannot find it anywhere.

Basically I have a bunch of custom domains for personal stuff, work stuff, small home business stuff, etc, and I use ProtonMail to consolidate it all into one inbox.

So while ProtonMail has a bunch of pros, and you’ll be able to find them easily, I think it could be more beneficial to tell you about what I would consider cons.

Like what’s happening now, they always roll out features to their top tier plans first, which can definitely suck. They absolutely don’t care about how much people pay them, they care about the random plan badge associated with the account instead. When they finally added the ability to search for your emails, they rolled it out to visionary members first. Quite insane to have something so basic be locked behind a top tier membership for a limited time.

In my couple years being with them, they’ve had a few times where their services crapped the bed for multiple days straight. If I remember correctly, last year their mail and calendar services went down on a Monday and took until Wednesday for them to be fully restored. Absolutely destroyed productivity when you are unable to message your clients or check your calendar.

Proton also makes big claims and almost never meets them. They promised a redesign of the Android app for a couple years, and when it finally came, they were over 1 year past their already extended date. The same thing is happening with the new rewrite of the Android app that is supposed to support basic mail features like email threads.

Overall I like their services. The web UI is clean and has super awesome features like keyboard shortcuts to easily manage your email. Their services haven’t went down at all, or at least not significantly to my knowledge in 2023 yet, which is good. If you’re ignorant, and you don’t keep up to date about their new features or planned features, you’ll be happy. You really only start to get frustrated when you’re waiting for a basic feature and hear it’s limited to a higher tier at the moment.

You also have to be okay using their mobile app, as third party mobile email clients don’t work. On desktop a few different ones will work, like Thunderbird, but only if you use proton bridge with it.

So even if another company releases a tracker (like Pebblebee), it still won’t work until Google is able to push the necessary updates to Google Play services.

Ya, but if that takes them a few months, my concern is that there will be a better tracker, or these trackers will be on sale or something.

Sucks to have a purchase sit in limbo for an unknown amount of time when tech moves fast.

The Windows app is first coming to Proton Lifetime accounts and will be made available to Visionary users later. Beta invites will be sent out at a later stage.

I hate their way of managing so much.

I pay them nearly $150 per month, but I don’t have lifetime or visionary so I’m just screwed and treated like scum.

How about roll it out to everyone that pays at the same time? I understand maybe holding back on free users, but why screw over your paying users? So ridiculous. I don’t know of any other company that does this.

Anyone else thinking about cancelling? My question is how long until it gets shipped, and by then, will other companies come out with better trackers?

You think it’s okay to ban someone for being critical about a specific Samsung device because a mod is a fanboy of it?

I’d give you a genuine answer, but I’m afraid these mods will ban me like they banned me from Reddit for having a negative opinion about Samsung.

I’m so glad we gave these mods power of the Android community on Lemmy. Way to go, us!

These are the same mods from the Android subreddit. That should answer everything you need to know.

Hopefully he does. I want to host my own instance because I hate how every time I join an instance, they decide to block other instances I enjoy. I am sick of hopping around!
