Options for folks leaving proton who don’t want to self host? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

this was my take after the last drama with the CEO but this was enough for me to not want to give them money anymore.

I may continue to use one of their free services like the authenticator though since I don't love my other options and I just don't want to give them money. I'm not even a huge privacy person, just, like you, wanted to leave google behind.

    Yeah, so my needs are super minimal tbh so Tuta does plenty for me.

    No integration with mail clients or IMAP support but they have a linux desktop flatpak or appimage that integrates well for me and an iOS app that also works well for me. I've been using the experimental flatpak on mint cinnamon and it's been working well so far. No major issues.

    I was also using proton vpn a lot but not anymore! I never used mail clients so that isn't a thing I need to worry about luckily, and neither does anyone in my family.

    I'll check out airvpn, so thanks for the rec. I wish bitwarden had free auth but I'm open to just using it as my pw manager.

    For context, I’m in the States.

    I already have a Tuta mail account so I figure for mail/calendar/soon-drive I’ll stick to them but what about other services?

    Ideally I can try with a free tier before committing. iOS and Android and Linux are the platforms used in my household.

    Still looking for:

    • password manager
    • vpn
    • authenticator
    • less important: docs/sheets

    I was all in on proton services because it was easy for my family to switch from google and still have all these services in one place but now I’m more open to spreading these services out to more than one provider in case any of them shit the bed so to speak.

    Thanks!

    edit:

    • probably staying with proton's authenticator
    • I'm sure most here won't agree but my entire household uses firefox on desktop/mobile and my wife and I just decided to use firefox's built in pw manager + sync for pw management. Please understand that convenience is top of mind for us tbh, out lives are too busy to be overly concerned with what to choose here.
    • waiting for tuta drive to start using that but backed up out drives to a couple external drives and will just use that until tuta drive is released.
    • vpn is still tbd

    Compared to All That's Out There, is KDE's Kate a Good Code Editor? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

    Man we’re the same person lol I too use geany for basically everything and tried out Kate because it felt more feature complete but it just isn’t. There is nothing I can do on Kate that I can’t do in Geany that is relevant to me. Mostly Lua programming and markdown editing.

    I’d say just make a theme that fits the KDE style and use some breeze icons in the editor to make it feel more like it belongs and use what works and is comfortable.

    I still use gnome and so I made a gnome builder editor theme and made the whole editor look like gnome builder and it works wonderfully. I bet the same is possible for kde.
