Hey folks! I’ve been on a quest to degoogle and get more privacy in my life. I want to strike a good balance between privacy and usability, so while the most hardened apps out there might be best for privacy, maybe they are not great for usability.
My first step is a good mail and calendar provider with a good iOS experience. I’m using proton right now, but I’ve had issues with mail and calendar on mobile. Calendar has been slow and just not great to use. Mail is mostly okay but often I will delete mail and it will take ages for it to actually leave my inbox and it just feels unresponsive.
In the calendar app I need to be able to view a Google calendar. My work schedule is all in a Google workspace for my job and I need to at least see it for when I’m scheduling my personal stuff. I understand I most likely cannot create or edit events on it from a private app, but seeing it is a must.
Any good recommendations out there, or am I already just ok at Proton and I need to overlook what feels to me a subpar mobile experience?
I addressed all of this. These people will protect their interests and their companies and sometimes that means kissing some disgusting ass.
And I addressed the threat model: I try to operate in a way that allows me up and move services quickly and share enough that others could follow t. And that includes have solid, encrypted backups. I’m not that high profile, but I have too much time on my hands and high technical proficiency combined with an urge to learn I also am the first to suggest to Proton a false pin to wipe your phone.
But this is also blown our of proportion. It was one message that basically said, right now (With Republicans in control of Congress) they’re the only ones likely to do anything. Most of the bias people say, is implied. If Democrats had been in power, there would have been a one word difference.
