Dart/Flutter allows for compiling native apps and allows for better device access.

I would not recommend react-native. I would recommened Tauri instead but Tauri does not compile apps for Android and iOS currently but has this on its roadmap.

Gitea and Forgejo are the way to go. Especially Forgejo which is working on federation just like Lemmy but for Forgejo repos and instances.

Using goolag play services will always decreace your privacy.

Been using lineageos on my phone and tablet for a few years now. I have not downloaded a google play store app since I switched to lineageos.

Based

I guess they do not offer lifetime plans anymore. I remember a few years ago getting a domain under a lifetime plan.

I thought they were based in Switzerland.

epik offers lifetime plans for some domain names and is a Swiss company.

True but I believe SimpleLogin is based in France while Protonmail is based in Switzerland. Two seperate governments.

But its though SimpleLogin, not ProtonMail itself.

Unfortunately there is no way, it requires trust. Just like you need to trust your email provider to not have access to your emails.

XMPP is more lightweight but way more clunky. I think Matrix is better since all the features are built in and is having more development, more users and more clients on multiple operating systems.

A privacy email provider and email aliases for everything you sign up for.

I always recommend multi-hop as it increases your privacy. And as long you choose the two servers to be nearby each other and not halfway across the world, you will not notice any difference in your connection.

Why not just stick with dumb light bulbs? Why does everything need to be smart?

Aliases are always recommended over your main email address.

You can have a few email addresses (1 protonmail for personal stuff, 1 protonmail for anonymous/private accounts, etc) and then have a alias account for your personal email and an alias account for your anonymous/private email, etc. This way if the alias service you use gets comprimised, it will not link your personal accounts to your private/anonymous accounts.

If you use cash, crypto or goldbacks (goldbacks are not popular however) each payment is one time. Another reason why cash, crypto and the goldback are based.

I was coming from a mindset you were using your own laptop or buying your own laptop.

Say no to installing closed source software and say no to installing spyware. Simple as that.
