Pass - Proton team picked up light theme recently so I'm guessing it will available in a year or so :)

Drive - had no described issues. I can search photos using its names. However, photos are not searchable through the web app.

VPN - true, dark mode only which sucks but honestly, I open it only where there's an issue with the VPN which is rare nowadays.

What I can say it that Proton products are for somehow "aware" users, which are not discourage by occasional issues. I would say it's a late beta state of things. I've been a happy Proton customer for quite few years and cannot complain about it. The best thing is that when I had an issue, I've raised a support ticket and within a day or two it got fixed. Or if it was an user(aka me) issue, it got explained with as much details as I needed.

I've been using GrapheneOS for over a year. I cannot complain about it, it works as advertised and it does it the best way possible. However, here's the list of things I find annoying/missing. Keep in mind, this is a subjective list.

• some (quite a lot of for me) apps require Google Play Framework (or whatever the name is) to work properly
• Aurora store tends to be unavailable randomly, which makes installation/updates difficult sometimes
• some features are wonky, e.g. GrapheneOS has no issues with disabling wifi when leaving my home but I was never able to enable wifi when I'm back home.
• default apps work ok-ish but it's far from good old iOS/Android experience
• Android Auto experience was a shitshow for me

Don't want to be a devil's advocate but can you provide something more than "I'm offended"? Let's say issue ticket(s), status page links, other people complaining, etc?

Oh no, anyway...

KDE works ok on touch devices but if you're going to switch, try plasma mobile.

It is usable but I've been using iPad for years before trying Linux on a tablet and it's way behind iPadOS in terms of ux and ease of use. The latest plasma mobile makes it more tablety but it still feels like a desktop with touch support. Having said that, I'm pretty happy with plasma mobile and can't wait for further improvements.

I wrote it several times and I will write it again. Linux on a tablet is at best average. However, after recent release of KDE 6, plasma mobile got really good. In tablet mode it feels almost like a real thing. I've been using it for some time now and I like the experience.

I was about to suggest the same thing with a small caveat. From what I know, communication between doorbell and base station is unencrypted. I might be wrong, it's been a while since I read about it, so double check the current status.

That's why you should use "usb condom" when charing your phone from untrusted power source.

I have a mild speech impairment. I don't stutter on a daily basis but when I'm under heavy stress or when I'm tired I tend to stutter-ish. On top of that I live in a country where I don't speak in my native language and sometimes I feel self-conscious about small mistakes I make (like using the wrong word or messing up the grammar) which induces the stress response. It's not a big deal but it makes me crazy when I can't express my thoughts in public.

It's just history repeating itself. We've seen dotcom bubble, web 2.0 rush, nft fiasco and now AI. All fueled by VC greed. On top of that in today's world companies try to get as much data as possible and so called AI is the perfect tool for that.

If the question is open, e.g. "do you like apples?" and the question is in my area of interest, I usually give an answer. But if the question assumes an answer or is deliberately polarizing, e.g. "why don't you like apples?" I pass.

GrapheneOS + a lot of privacy respecting apps, some self hosted.

Try GrapheneOS. It has some quirks but it's a good alternative. Been using it for two years on a phone and I'm considering getting it on a tablet.

C'mon. It's non toxic glue. Suck it up and follow the directions. /s

I know you said you're not looking for a Pocket like solution but honestly it's the best solution for your problem. With tabs you might lose it all when the browser crashes and for some reason you're not able to restore the session. If you don't want to use cloud based solutions like mentioned before, check Linkwarden which can be selfhosted.

And people ask me why I de-appled...

I would be happy to see privacy respecting AI assistant in Proton products, especially Proton Mail. English is not my native language and every now and then I need to use 3rd party services to compose a professional sounding email. Having this built into Proton Mail would have made my life easier. Also, having a feature that detects and labels faces and features in the pictures stored in a Proton Drive would be an amazing addition.

If you feel sick talk to your doctor. Internet "knowledge" doesn't work in case on medical issues. So called tips and tricks may work for a person who posted it but it could be dangerous for you. If calling a stranger (in this case a doctor's office) invokes anxiety, talk to a therapist.
