Kill 'em all.

Why isn’t else finished as a word?

I use Wyze but they have their own issues…

There is no lettuce on a regular McDonald’s cheeseburger.

Source: I just had one.

edit There is on the daily double and the big mac and the quarter stompers though.

Windows for work, Linux for fun.

I agree. I hate using a mouse and generally avoid it, and still the productivity gains I get from using something like VS Code versus Vim with plugins to the max are impossible to ignore.

When I’m juggling like 3 development contracts at once, it’s dumb of me to not use every little gain in productivity possible. I don’t have time to spend a day recreating a plugin to my liking in Vim when something already exists that gets me 99% of the way there. I don’t care about the extra RAM use because I have plenty of that.

I think some people just like to die on this hill out of principle, and that’s whatever, more power to them.

Posting is an outlet for me, it helps me reorganize my thoughts and not do something rash.

I agree that simply posting isn’t enough. But acting egregiously without strategy is potentially a problem too.

Well my mom already said, “I haven’t done anything wrong so I have nothing to hide”

Which…yeah…don’t get me started.

Just following up on this, I stumbled on this: https://tuta.com/mailbox

I think it might help. I could definitely see that depending on your use case, Mailbox may be a better choice. I think for general privacy they’re both good, with Tuta having a few “a step above” offerings security-wise but maybe not necessary for most users.

I get it, and please, you do you. There’s no issue.

I’d just add that I can save money using Amazon, but I try to avoid it when I can. I’ll pay a little extra when I can, for the greater good.

I think I’d need some more time to really answer, but on the outset, I find Mailbox.org’s interface more intuitive with more settings and generally feels cleaner and more streamlined. Creating aliases and domain aliases in mailbox seems more proton-like in its simplicity.

Tuta I think is more private and secure, but bits of their interface and app need polish. One reason I think Tuta is more secure despite them both touting security and privacy is that Mailbox search works immediately, whereas Tuta requires you to agree to a permission and states it stores everything locally to you so it may take up space. I think Tuta isn’t doing any server-side indexing of any kind? Unsure.

edit: Mailbox doesn’t have a native app, and Tuta has a native app but I think it’s largely a webview. Notifications work OK but you’ll click on a notification and then have to wait for the app to actually connect and resync before you can view it.

I have two domains, one in each of Tuta and Mailbox. It was originally so I could try both out, but now I figure it doesn’t hurt to keep 'em separated. I’m still new to non-proton so I am sort of still feeling things out.

Nothing really too interesting or tricky about it, just bred out of curiosity.

Since ditching Proton for Tuta and Mailbox…I haven’t missed anything and I’m saving money.

Damn, this sucks. I fled Google for Proton and use it for email, files, and my own domain email.

For me, they’re also useful because a lot of my jobs don’t allow remote software to be installed on laptops, so I use something like this to be able to remote in still.

Hmm, at least it doesn’t show that I’m employed by all of them simultaneously.

This surprises me because McDonald’s app is hands down the worst app I’ve ever encountered in the history of all Android apps.

It’s is sluggish, ignores touches/taps half the time, doesn’t adhere to Android best practices for flow, crashes a lot, errors a lot, etc.

But OK McDonald’s. Fuck off.

Anyone have tips for someone wanting to do the same but have two hurdles?

1. Need multi-org account support for Teams due to multiple contracts across different orgs. At the moment I could run Windows in a VM for it but then notifications are rough. An option is running teams in multiple browser profiles / tabs but this is also not entirely ideal (6-7 profiles/tabs just for teams is rough). Any clever ideas welcome, or someone who may have experience with Matrix bridges to accommodate this somehow? Does that work for adhoc calls?

2. Speedy remote desktop. Parcel seems to be the closest in speed to RDP thus far, but it doesn’t consistently transmit shortcut keys which makes development difficult. Any other suggestions, gladly welcome.

3. (no longer an issue) if you’ve seen my past comments, I used to seek an alternative to Fancy Zones, but my fix for this was to just get rid of my ultrawide and go back to multiple monitors. So this is no longer needed.

At my org the security is so heavy that it’s a multi-step, multi-tier fix (meaning the one Helpdesk person has to escalate, the first tier that gets it has one password but not the other, that has to go to second tier, etc.)

They announced weekend hours all weekend on Friday and given we’re talking tens of thousands of potentially impacted systems, my guess is it absolutely won’t be done by Monday. That doesn’t necessarily mean business is dead in the water, but it’s definitely more chaotic and slow moving.

Android tablets as linked devices is why I use it. Something Signal seems to refuse to add.
