Don’t forget Tesla lying about many things and saying it’s “free speech” to lie to customers, and being very obstructionist when releasing safety data

I tried Proton years ago and didn’t find it that useful (I can manage my own PGP keys, thank you).

Started switching to Fastmail seriously this month, after having had mail delivery problems with mailbox.org because of DNSSEC issues (they use a deprecated SHA1 signature still) - I have used migadu.com for a different domain for a few years as well but the webmail is a bit sluggish and the spam filter too aggressive, I might end up consolidating on Fastmail for now

Sure it’s Five Eyes so a slight regression from mailbox and migadu, but if it works well enough I might be able to get my family to move off of Gmail so a net win

 

In 57 of 100 of the largest cities in America, the gross salary needed to comfortably (using 30% of salary) afford a studio apartment is higher than the national median wage.

And in many cities the gap to the local median wage is huge too. $140k to afford a studio in NYC!

yeah, I plan to use a PinePhone as my secondary device and start helping port apps to it, but will probably use either Android or iOS for some time.

Alas, my next phone might be an iPhone -- though I'll try to steer clear from Apple services.

I currently use a Pixel as my daily driver, but I want to help contribute to OpenStreetMap and there's no OSM navigation app with Android Auto support, whereas MAPS.ME is open source, uses OSM and supports CarPlay. I wonder if it's technically more difficult to get Android Auto support or it's Google ironically abusing their gatekeeper role here (normally Apple is the one accused of doing that with the App Store).
