That’s actually surprising to me, because I’d think that down voting whack stuff would make things better overall. What was happening? It’s not like people know who it was, or were down votes done out of spite?

I also couldn’t help but notice some super conservative instances I’ve seen have down votes disabled.

It was a good first gen phone, but you definitely did better by waiting for the 920. That think was darn near indestructable.

I had an old Samsung windows phone, the first gen. I loved that thing. The performance was great and the screen was fairly small, but it was way more usable than other phones despite the lower resolution because it had an OLED display.

Then I eventually got the Lumia 1520 behemoth haha. Then eventually back to one of Sony’s Compact phones, but the performance was terrible. I’m now on more regular sized phones.

The best part about the smaller phones was the much for usable single-handed use. I think that’s the main thing. I also tended to use another device for things like reading or entertainment. But I will say though, that 1520 was pretty great.

How’s the performance of the phone? I had one of the older Z Compacts and while I liked the smaller size, the performance was pretty abysmal. Like, I’m in line and want to get my ticket out ahead of time - still waiting for the phone to catch up by the time I got to my turn.

You can open up just about anything and unplug it

Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:

• Search is only for titles, as content is encrypted
• You can do search in the body in your browser. It downloads your email into the browser and searchers locally. It takes a while to do this and build up indexes. I haven’t had too much issue searching for things though.
• Since they don’t read your email, no automatic calendar events if there isn’t a .ics

The VPN had been great

The storage isn’t enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn’t a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use

The Pass app is handy and it’s easy to make aliases, though it often doesn’t know to fill in, doesn’t do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.

I’m sticking with them. I don’t really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it’s not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.

Tl;dr - fediverse probably won’t do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues

I’ve been using it for forever and also used it for DnD, based off of…what’s his name, one of the bigger DM guys on YT. It works great.

I’m using Obsidian for work since cloud note apps are blocked and I don’t like it as much. It works, but I’m not as wild about it.

One issue I recently had with one note is that I wanted to export a section to share on the web and wasn’t able to do it and the web interface doesn’t really let me do the management that I need. My work machine is my main one right now, so I’m stuck with what I’ve got. That all being said, aside from privacy, there isn’t really a direct reason to change.

But I’m not super wild that MS is reading my notes since I’ve also used it as a diary at points. I’ll have to figure that bit out later.

What a bunch of snowflakes. I like the idea. This was my first thought though

While I don’t necessarily think that votes should be made public, it would be nice if you could see your own votes. There have been a few times I wanted to find a post that I had seen, but didn’t save, and I couldn’t find it.

yeah, this is literally a public forum. Everything posted is public. Nothing is private.

Yo dawg

Well, I just got blocked for replying all to an email with two recipients and now I can’t access my email, calendar, passwords, or VPN, so that’s great.
