This is a highly personal topic so I’d suggest trying as many things as you can.

Seconded!

Splendid experience. Favorite feature: manage DNS records via API.

You’re not wrong, it’s just about how Proton is built right now. It’s still a pretty young ecosystem.

I will menton that all of their apps (both from GP and F-Droid) work great on my OOTB Galaxy 21 and send all notifications (emails, calendar events, etc.) to my Samsung Gear 3 watch no issues.

Let’s not forget that the point of Proton’s services is encryption. The more points you want it to go through (Proton to Cal{SVC} to Android calendar app to watch), the more you have to relinquish that security if they aren’t cooperative/companion apps.

For example, I use Proton on the web (through Tor, actually) because I get the security. If I used the Bridge, I’d be decrypting a layer just so I could use a favored email application.

Yes, you can, and I would also vouch for Nextcloud.

Interesting. Can you give an example?

You just never use a desktop profile. You have an account on mobile, and every time you go desktop you sign in with the app and qr code so you’re always using the same db on each machine.

My desktop app has zero profiles and no db; I only sign in with my mobile.

Actually, you can scan a qr code and use on both

My router’s admin console, OOTB, gives me the option to either deny individual devices (based on MAC, etc.) access to the external internet, or create a second (or third, etc.) WiFi network that, itself, is not connected to the outside.

Perhaps you have similar settings?

Were all just dreamers. The solution is out there.

Well, the tin-foil-hat answer is because they make more by investing it here, namely, in politicians. (Like Musk bought Twitter in an attempt to control the national discourse, so he could, you know, help influence who gets elected and make more money.)

It’s probably just more profitable here. We’re a Capitalist nation. Capitalists are gonna wanna play our game. If you had a giant stack of bills in Monopoly, you wouldn’t take a bunch of them over to the Chutes and Ladders table.

What do all men with power want? More power.

So sometimes it’s a wealth tax, not necessarily an income tax.

Still, the top 10 billionaires are averaging +$40B/yr. Tap that for 5% and that’s $21B.

Here’s some things you could afford with that money:

• 250k people get a free $85k education.
• 6 million kids get $20/day to eat a quality school lunch for a whole year.
• 84k homeless people get a $250k house
• Every teacher gets a $5k bonus

And that’s just from 10 people, at 5%, one time.

And by the way, that 2 trillion dollar tax cut they got from their orange canary god would’ve paid for the US military budget 3 times and still had enough left over to solve world hunger, educate everyone, and end homelessness.

Taxing 50 thousand people earning $50k at just 1% gets you 25 mil.

Taxing a single billion dollars (of which there are thousands among the top 1%) at 5% gets you twice that.

Bezos’ net worth is around 210 with a capital B. Tax just him 5% and you could pay those 50k earners a 210k salary. One guy.

Tax the rich.

It wasn’t actually a question, just a statement about a lack of knowledge.

Gotta throw away the whole Google
