I switched to Fastmail a few months ago and love it.

My tip is: Start simple.

1. If you have any other Domains forwarded to Gmail forward them to Fastmail instead.
2. Forward Gmail to Fastmail (i.e. add as an account including importing old mails). This won’t get you off Google yet, but at least a backup and you can practically stop using Gmail.
3. For any new registration, use Fastmail (or any of its random emails etc.)
4. Slowly transition your old accounts.

I am using LineageOS with zero problems.

Very cool. Great reviews as well from what I’ve seen. Definitely on my top contender list. Currently, after flashing a custom ROM, I’m happy with my OnePlus 6T - and upgrading without a clear need certainly goes against Fairphone’s values.

That’s super interesting! Spooky, next to your AI-generated voice being used for fraud, but something I had not thought about before.

Wow, that story is pretty insane.

I agree. While $20 could still be seen as reasonable - even though making it one of the more expensive apps, thigh I’m willing to go for it if Sync continues development -, the asking price of $100 for the lifetime ultra is insane. I’m not aware of any other app that is this expensive. Of course, you could argue there’s subscription apps out there that don’t even have a lifetime model - e.g. Adobe, Microsoft Office -, But these provide considerably more value as well and are huge corporations.

My feeling is - and I don’t have facts to prove it - that the developers of the large reddit apps (esp. Apollo) simply became used to the money making machine and want to squeeze as much as possible out of it.

While in the end it is entirely up to them, as there’s open source and free alternatives out there, I’m not too fond of this behavior.

Yes, same here. Even though I disabled any ad blockers.

Is this relevant? If you’re using these blockers, aren’t you also not affected by the data collection? Or are the settings related to in-app data collection that is not affected by blockers?

Agree. Useless feature and promotes trash content.

Yep, super convenient. I now use Fastmail where this is built in, but nevertheless, very handy.

I had a good laugh when I saw that.
