There is no native client. You can use the features through the browser.

There is also a plugin for Rclone, but that’s a 3rd party, reverse-engineered app.

I was able to import my Keep data into Standard Notes. It’s encrypted and free.

I think it’s fine. Not much difference than stock Android but it does what I need it to do.

Sorry, I don’t really use my phone much to call people. The stock app that comes with LineageOS is what I use when I do call.

The Fossify phone app would refuse to dismiss VM notifications, which is why I didn’t like it.

Trustworthy, yes. Recommended – it depends. I use contacts and gallery regularly with no problems. Like @tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml I found that the phone app was not great.

If you have an idea of what you want to listen to ahead of time you could make a playlist and use yt-dlp to download it all. Then play it in the music player of your choice.

I find that Maps is one of the most difficult ones to get rid of. There are replacements of course, but they don’t change directions based on current traffic patterns. I also find that for these replacements the routing isn’t very good over medium/long distances.

1. I’m trying to be more anti-large corporation, especially those that have bent the knee to Trump.
2. I want to support the people who make replacement apps/services that have a DIY ethic about them.
3. I kind of like the challenge of it, because it’s not all that easy…which in my mind shows that it’s necessary.

If you don’t want to DeGoogle, that’s fine. It’s a personal decision. If you have all the facts and determine you’d rather stay doing what you’re doing, that’s fine.

I would add

• Proton Drive
• Proton Pass

To the Google Drive and Google Passwords areas.

Proton Drive also has the ability to view pictures it has backed up, but because everything is encrypted, they can’t really sort them into buckets like you can with Google Photos.

The only thing I use Google Voice for is being able to reply to text messages on a browser. Is there something I can use for that?

J’entends que Kagi est problematique.

People have rightly said that their executives are overpaid. However it’s unclear what revenue streams they have. In terms of user services they sell a VPN. I think that’s about it. That’s not going to cut it even if they do lay off tons of people.

Browsers are complicated pieces of software and there needs to be a lot of money behind them if they’re going to succeed.

I’m new to it, but I’m really enjoying libredirect so far.

It’s fine to criticize Mozilla for taking money from Google, but you would also have to accept that Firefox wouldn’t exist without it. Google revenue is something like 80% of the revenue Mozilla receives in a year.

Google has now legally been declared a monopoly so they no longer have a reason to be paying Mozilla.

In fact it may be that Google is no longer allowed to pay Mozilla to make Google the default search engine on Firefox. If this is the case you will get to see how well they do without that money.

To be clear, I don’t like that Mozilla is taking this money either, but the only way they’re going to be able to stay afloat is by taking money from someone. Unless everyone who uses Firefox donates regularly to Mozilla.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Incognito mode keeps your browser history private, and that’s pretty much it. If you want more privacy, you’ll need to add Tracking Protection and maybe even browse through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. Incognito mode can’t.

I’ve literally done the rm -rf / thing. I thought I was in a different subdirectory, but I was in / and did rm -rf .

When it didn’t return after half a second, I looked at the command again and hit CTRL+C about 20 times in the span of 3 seconds.

I had to rebuild the install, but luckily didn’t lose anything in /home.

Agreed, but I think there are enough flavors of Debian to satisfy someone if they want newer packages without resorting to Flatpak/Snap/etc.

I don’t mind the old packages (I’m typing from Debian Stable right now). If that’s a bother for other people Debian Stable isn’t the way to go. Even I wouldn’t recommend Stable on a desktop/laptop unless that person knew what they were getting themselves into. I used to run Sid a while back, but didn’t want to have to deal with the mild breakage from time to time. Generally speaking it’s “stable enough” for most people, especially on a daily driver.

That being said, I have a few flatpaks running, but that’s mostly because they’re apps that aren’t packaged for Debian.
