Pretty interesting. Unfortunately, pricing for phones has reached ridiculous levels. Their non pro version looks better in terms of price-value, but still not great.

Unfortunately, it will end up in companies double-dipping. Once consumers accept adds, you will see more of them, and for sure the money they get from ads is not fully reflected in the price reduction.

Oh yeah. Or trying to highlight something including text further down, you want to scroll it a little bit and suddenly it accelerates and you highlighted the wohle page.

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.

I always loved the intro music, and never knew who it was from or how it was selected. It is a very optimistic song, and I think that’s what Star Trek is about as well.

What’s annoying as well is that if you browse Everything, there’s bots reposting stuff from reddit at the same time, so posts from certain communities are all clumped together.

As my app posted the reply as a top comment, here it is again:

One important thing to take note of is: “Once your personal database has seen more than 200 spam and 200 non-spam emails, we automatically start using it to filter your incoming mail.” This means, before you have received 200 spam emails (or marked them as such), the filter is going to perform significantly worse.

Personally, initially it was pretty bad compared to Gmail. However, it significantly improved over time. One thing that helps are masked emails (fantastic) - an email you can create, or is even created automatically for you, and then enter at dubious websites. If you get spam, you can simply block the whole email or fine tune it.

Paid Fastmail User here since around half a year. Did extensive research on what provider to use and trialed fastmail for four weeks before buying. I went for a 3 year period. Fastmail has a fantastic set of features.

There are providers that are focused more on privacy (e.g. PGP. encryption, not being based in Australia) but that was not my top priority.

I have created a lengthy guide as part of my transition: I published the Markdown file to Fastmail at this link (it is a text file). As it was initially written just for myself, the format might not be very readable :)

Came here because I just discovered Kagi. On the topic of de-googling, the effort is a fair point. Like the other poster said: Start small. A few months ago I moved away from Google Mail, Contacts and Calendar. After detailed research and trialing, I made the move - the practical part of it took actually surprisingly little time. I’m using Fastmail now, so at least that part Google now has only very limited access to. Might be doing the same with Kagi for search.

Edit: Look like sync won’t let me reply to the right comment.

Oh wow, you sent me down a rabbit hole! That’s a great tool. Then I realized it requires an account, as it is a paid service. And their main service is a search engine, which seems really interesting so far (you get 100 searches free). Love the customization options! What’s your experience with the result quality? Not a huge fan of having to 0ay by search once beyond a threshold, but if the service is good…Google got super annoying with all the ads. But there’s still companies like Duckduckgo that offer great search as well.

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

Interesting approach, could be a good solution for some of the issues mentioned in this thread.
