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.

Not when you use your own modem

I'm not going to rent Comcast's modem/access point combo. It sucks.

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

They get the traffic data from some third party, not by following their users like gmaps.

Do you share data with third parties?

We send position data to our traffic provider to generate real-time traffic information. The data is anonymized on the phone, using a changing key (so it's not linked to you), and it is deleted after 5 minutes.

They have a good privacy policy though. I haven't really had many issues with their app.

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.

It's a paid service, so it'd be a bad default for a web browser. Not saying it's a bad search engine; saying that it's a bad search engine default for the every day folk who just installed a web browser.

I don't think California would be able to handle the influx of people moving to California if they do pass universal healthcare. As a State, they don't have as much funding as a Federal program would have.

 

EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed the company is considering putting ads in traditional AAA games — titles that players purchase up-front for around $70 apiece. In the Q&A part of EA’s latest earnings call, Eric Sheridan from Goldman Sachs asked Wilson about dynamic ad insertion in traditional AAA games. Wilson said, "…Advertising has an opportunity to be a meaningful driver of growth for us." He then continued, "…we have teams internally in the company right now looking at how we do very thoughtful implementations inside of our game experiences."

 

Does anyone know if a Linux program that is similar to URLCheck?

For URLCheck, you can set it as your default browser on Android, and when you click a link, it'll open up there first. It can go through all of the redirects for you, and lets you edit the URL before opening it in another web browser. Useful for removing tracking referrals as well if the user wants.

For Linux, I'd be happy with a program that I can paste the URL into to do all of this, it doesn't have to have the ability to be a default web browser. I'd prefer to not have to use Waydroid for URLCheck.

URL when clicking on an email

URL after it goes through the redirects

URL after clicking the X for parameters to clean it up
