Replacing Google Drive is the hardest for me. I'm not a fan of the nextcloud bloat, Seafile is hard to setup. Didn't expect this to be the largest struggle of the whole process.

I used nextcloud for a while but ended up with a combo of syncthing and filebrowser to similar effect

proton ceo supports trump

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Maybe you have other information that I'm not aware of, but this article gives what looks to me a balanced review of whether Andy Yen supports Trump or not:

It's not a cut and dry pro-MAGA situation.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That article is a lot of "maybe" and "probably" for something that really should be cut and dry. If he doesn't want people to believe he supports Trump, there needs to be a direct condemnation of his actions. Tacit approval is still approval.

thanks for the random medium from someone unknown I guess?

Not a good reason to leave Proton.

Wait....what....????!!! There's paid browser out there ???

[–] monarch@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I don't think it's a paid browser (there are a few of those though) it's a paid search engine.

Signal is too pedestrian. Without decentralization, your chat isn’t private enough as you don’t control the meta or the servers.

And what's just as important - not as resilient.

Caveat emptor buying music from Qobuz, always try bandcamp first.

Protonmail has a free plan though.

What’s wrong with Safari?

[–] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Closed-source and not available on most people's computers.

Apple Music is also there, so I assume it is because Safari is Apple’s browser.
