If you want free, I’d recommend Protom Mail.

For paid, I really like Mailbox.org and Posteo. They work with IMAP/POP3, CardDAV, and CalDAV

I personally like both Posteo and mailbox.org, but they are paid email services.

You can use them for your email, contacts, calendars, and tasks. On Android, you can use Davx5 to sync them.

I personally have to toggle on Exploit protection compatibility mode in App info to get some of my banking apps to work

Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection

It’s available on Linux, Windows, Android, iOS, and the web.

I play them on my phone to pass time.

And on that note, I condemn in the harshest terms the response from communities like /r/linux on the subject. The vile harassment and hate directed at the FDO officer in question is obscene and completely unjustifiable. I don’t care what window manager or desktop environment you use – this kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. I expect better.

Oh wow. That community is just hateful

As a kid, I had no such issues. Games couldn’t be updated post launch, so they had to be good or they’d fail. I miss those launches…

Idk… As a gaming kid in the 90s, I always wished companies could fix the bugs in their games or rebalance stuff. I was so happy when computer gaming started having patches available.

It lets you have all of your emails offline as well. If you have to reference an older email, it’s faster than loading the webpage again.

Some desktop email clients lets you manage your emails, contacts, tasks, and calendars all in one program, which loads immediately instead of loading multiple web pages. This is why I love Evolution and Thunderbird.

If you have multiple email accounts, it’s easier to use an email client, rather than having to log into multiple websites.

The search function in some web interfaces suck.

Some people just don’t like their email provider’s web interface.

I don’t know why Thunderbird can’t get a reliable, functional search ability. It’s such garbage. I constantly have to delete my entire search index and start from scratch, it is immensely frustrating.

Maybe see if Betterbird’s search works better for you

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on GNOME 46 yet. But looks like the porting is almost done!

Banking apps and Amazon don’t seem to like it

Try going into the app’s settings and toggle Exploit protection compatibility mode. That let me use my banking apps that didn’t work before.

Would love it if there is actually an active Tea community on Lemmy. The ones on Lemmy are pretty much dead. The Reddit one is super active.

Also, Lemmy doesn’t have active communities for individual games like Reddit does. They are useful to obtain information, get help, talk about builds, etc

Self host FreshRSS, use the GReader or Fever API link that’s built into FreshRSS to sync to other apps on your local network. If you want to access the sync remotely, use Tailscale or setup Wireguard. I personally just run Wireguard in OpenWrt

There is no need to expose FreshRSS to the internet

it is liberal, aka generally right-of-center

A lot of people don’t seem to know this in the US. If you look at most Liberal Parties, they are centre or centre right. Though some are centre left as well. That’s not a full list in that link.

Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party is the major right wing conservative party of Japan.

Do note that the US’ centre starts farther to the right than many other developed countries.

If you don’t need port forwarding, Mullvad is my pick. Since they got rid of port forwarding, I’ve moved to AirVPN and am happy with them. I just dislike AirVPNs’ GUI app, Eddie. I mainly use Wireguard directly for their servers.

I’ve used this movie for movie night multiple times and people who come always love it!

For Florisboard, you’ll have to wait for v0.5 for suggestions

Ever since the Reddit exodus, so many people joined Lemmy who just assumes everyone lives in the US.

“My rent is only $----/mo”. In what currency? A lot of countries use $.

I noticed that sometimes comments asking “What currency?” or “What country?” gets downvoted even though the original post / comment isn’t obvious that they are talking specifically about US :(

I absolutely love Libro.fm. People can choose a local physical store for Libro to donate to.

How much do Libro.fm Affiliates earn?

Our affiliate program offers a 10% commission on each audiobook and credit bundle, and a 30% one-time commission on each new monthly membership. Commission is earned on each qualifying sale (excluding tax, returns, and cancellations).

Their customer service is phenomenal. Multiple times, there were some audiobooks that they did not have on their website that I wanted, so I sent them an email asking if they might be able to obtain them. They reached out to the distributors and got them on their store for me to buy in less than a week each time!

Huh, that’s strange. On my 3 Android devices, I downloaded the APK from the website, and it always auto-updates.

It existed ever since they added the APK to their website as a compromise for people who don’t want to get Signal from the Play Store.
