I use Pocket because it is compatible with my Kobo ereader.

Proton will still be a for-profit company that will be majority-controlled by a non-profit. The non-profit will not own all of the business either, so there will still be profits going to shareholders.

Which is the same structure that Proton is moving to.

If checking their email a couple of times per year is too high a requirement, I would not recommend the time and effort necessary to maintain a mail server. Even people who enjoy self-hosting often do not want to host a mail server.

Signal still requires a phone number to use it. What they recently added is the ability to message people without needing to know their phone number.

I use Radicale for my calendars, reminders, and contacts precisely because of how minimal it is. It has been very reliable for me and is very easy to back up and restore since it is just files.

Create a different alias for everything using a service like:

• SimpleLogin
• Addy (AnonAddy)
• Firefox Relay
• Apple Hide My Email

If Google would have said upfront that all purchases would be refunded when Stadia shuts down, it likely would have increased confidence enough that people would actually use it.

iOS Reminders app synced with Radicale server.

• free stuff
• subscription

Pick one

This is disappointing as someone who does not want everything centralized under one company. I have tried to diversify the services I use, but this is the second one that Proton has acquired.

SimpleLogin development has essentially been stalled since they were acquired by Proton as resources were used to develop Pass instead. I have a feeling that Standard Notes will be treated similarly.

Progressive Web App

Libro.fm and Downpour both sell DRM-free audiobooks and offer an optional subscription credit model similar to Audible.

Photopea is a great web-based photo editor, but it is not FOSS.

While it would be great to see official support, the Heroic Games Launcher is a very good way to play GOG (as well as Epic and Amazon Prime) games on Linux.

Official announcement

VirtualBox still does not support Apple Silicon well. UTM is a great free and open source alternative.

There is a setting to automatically check for updates. I would see if that is enabled.

DokuWiki. Everything is a text file that can just be copied to a web server. It doesn’t even require a database. And since all the wiki pages are plaintext markdown files, they can still be easily accessed and read even when the server is down.
