I was looking for a point to cancel Paramount+. I guess I found it.

If you haven't already, divest yourself of MS software and services.

Built rather than bought? I'm guessing. I was wondering if you were using a System76 system.

I have it on a 3700X with a 3060, but that's not my main system. Right now I'm working the migration mostly on a Dell Latitude I grabbed from work.

What hardware are you using?

[–] CAWright 6 points 2 months ago

I'm always hesitant to daily drive non-stable but you may be right. I played around with an early Alpha and it was pretty nice but also pretty bare bones.

I'm in the same situation. I've been a Linux user in some form for many years but I'm just now getting to the daily driver desktop stage. I'm trying to work out all the little nuances in migrating from macOS/iCloud. I'm doing it with Pop because that's the distro that has felt the most natural to me. However, I'm finding that some of the apps don't support my cloud syncing needs adequately (e.g., Calendar, Contacts, Reminders). Part of it is just finding the right cloud provider but I'm also. hoping the new COSMIC apps have better CalDAV and CardDAV support. At this point it's just minor things so here's hoping for a bit better results with the newer version. It's Linux, though, so I'm sure I can find a solution.

That's the great thing about it. You choose what works for you. When you don't chase what other people think you should be using, you get more value out of what you want to be using.

No, but thanks.

How do you use your own domain between Proton and Tuta?

[–] CAWright 6 points 2 months ago

Thanks for posting this! As an American who dislikes the big tech here, these are helpful in knowing what's beyond our borders. I had never heard of Infomaniak before you posted! I currently use Proton but I'm not happy with the ability of their calendar and contacts to integrate with my underlying system. I've also been looking at mailbox.org to expand my capabilities there.

Many of us did it that way in the past. I still bring a notebook to in-person meetings for handwritten notes. I only have a few smart bulbs and smart switches in the house because they are more accurate than the analog timers. There are things like digital music that make life far more convenient than records, tapes, and CDs, though. So much technology is unnecessary, though.
