I love RSS.
I run FreshRSS as my server via docker and connect to it via Read You on Android and NewsFlash on Linux
I also run RSS-Bridge in docker. It has been really useful as it can generate RSS feeds for many websites that don’t natively have them.
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
I’m confused. Wouldn’t he have access to his email and maybe phone number that is attached to his Microsoft account to prove who he is?
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.
There’s no AI on DDG
Uh… The settings for AI Chat and DuckAssist are both on by default when you use DuckDuckGo. You can see them in Settings -> AI Features
If Microsoft announces that this is going to be forcibly installed on all versions of Windows, then we can grab our pitchforks. Ideally this would end up being an opt-in feature. If it’s an opt-out when they release, again, pitchforks.
Well, per Microsoft’s website:
On devices that are not powered by a Snapdragon® X Series processor, installation of a Windows update will be required to run Recall.
So it sounds like everyone on Windows 11 will get it via Windows Update eventually
Self host FreshRSS, use the GReader or Fever API link that’s built into FreshRSS to sync to other apps on your local network. If you want to access the sync remotely, use Tailscale or setup Wireguard. I personally just run Wireguard in OpenWrt
There is no need to expose FreshRSS to the internet
Isn’t Jerboa an Android native app? I don’t think they have a web app like how Alexandrite or Photon are.
Just looked into these. It doesn’t look like any of these have official Linux apps :(
I live near multiple regional hubs. I have no subscription myself. It takes them 4-7 days to get my package to me.
My friends who live on the same block as me gets them in 1-2 days with their prime memberships
This includes if we both order the same exact things.
So yeah, YMMV
I prefer GNOME on my Microsoft Surface because I fine it much better than KDE for touchscreens. And GNOME’s dynamic workspaces are amazing to use for my screen.
I prefer KDE on my desktop and laptop. Highly customizable and works great. I wish it natively had dynamic workspaces though
