Microsoft hate is justified.

I’m in IT, so I don’t really need to handwrite much. Always a computer at the ready.

I am surprised I can even write with pen and paper anymore.

Jokes aside, no. I don’t really handwrite anything anymore.

What issues do you have?

I self host as well as use bitwardens service.

I pay $10 a year, and never have I had access issues with it.

My self hosted instance houses everything for my other self hosted services.

I can also have my Bitwarden duplicated to my self hosted instance.

However, the only way to access my Vailtwarden instance is via my network. And for my use case, this is perfect.

Neither of them have I had any downtime; like others have said it’s anecdotal.

It’s not FOSS but I used Textra for years and it’s quite great. I don’t think it supports bubbles, but it’s worth checking out

As someone wise once said to me, consider your threat model.

Before I even found Lemmy I did go down that rabbit hold. I love GrapheneOS

As MajorHavoc said, there are ways. I do in fact use GrapheneOS, have access to a reasonably secure VPN, I use Firefox as well as Vanadium, within Firefox I use Ublock Origin and a few other tools. Some argue that having as many layers of “protection” is counterintuitive because it makes your fingerprint on the web more unique.

There should be protocols and practices in place to stop our data from being owned and sold. Hence why I take the steps I do to help anonymize myself to a small degree. Ditch Facebook, ditch apple, ditch google, ditch Microsoft, ditch any provider that wants to claim your data that tou can to minimize this sort of behavior.

I much prefer utilizing the head unit already installed in my car. Otherwise, before I did just use my phone.

I’m on stable, and using it.

What don’t you like about Android Auto? What alternative would you use to interface with a vehicle head unit if you didn’t AA?
