I had been on reddit since 2013. Didn't look back since they took away the API.

Or simply that prices have become insane. Good phones used to be around 400, taking me a few days to think about it and say yes. Now they are beyond 1000, so I will do my best to avoid having to upgrade and go with custom ROMs again. In the meanwhile, we also lost exchangeable batteries, external SD cards, and microphone jack, and we gained more Google spyware and bloat.

Exactly my reasoning. Get away from Google and advertising (though they said they are not using Gmail for that), get a better interface, masked emails. Fastmail is great.

That is pretty fucked. Disgusting.

For Search I use Duckduckgo (free).

For Mail, Calendar and Contacts I use Fastmail (free or paid, I use the paid version).

For file storage there's plenty of alternatives (Dropbox etc.)

For browser I use Edge, but it is also built on Chromium. I will make my choice once the recent Web Environment Integrity topic has become more clear.

Pretty incredible. What happened in early 2022? It was not yet the time of GPTs, so?

Danke. Ich habe ihn nun endgültig beerdigt.

Sieht man in der Schweiz ganz gut. Sehr populistische Partei hat die Mehrheit, mit entsprechend seltsamen Entscheidungen, jedoch leicht abgefedert durch die Stimme des populus.

Really? They proclaim to free the world from pay walls, the just take the money? Hypocrites.

I moved to Fastmail a couple of months ago and it is fantastic. Much prefer it to Google Mail, besides the privacy improvements.

[–] Myrbolg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Fully replaced reddit for me, besides some old content via Google.

Ha, that brings back memories! Had a few of those. Amazing they are still in use.
