Thanks! I saw Tuta from the previous comment and thought 1 GB is a bit on the small side, kind of like Proton. But not too expensive to go up a tier either. 👍

I found this while searching on my own. Might help someone else. 🤷‍♂️

Anything European-based to recommend? I’d like something as far-removed from America as possible, respecting GDPR, privacy, etc., but with a good-sized free-tier storage. I don’t think I need more than a couple GB for email. Calendar included would be a big plus as well. 😅 Probably asking for a lot here…

Ah I see. So now to the possibly tough question, if you had to choose only one, or recommend only one of them to someone who wants to make a minimal amount of new email addresses, which one would you recommend over the other? 😅 Or maybe a third option?

You have two email addresses in both Tuta and Mailbox? Any particular reason for that, that you could share with us? 🙏

Goddammit I had such high hopes for Proton. Was planning on that being my post-Google main. Now what. 💀

I live in the north of Sweden. I always hope for a white Christmas. If there’s no snow, it’s so dark, and gloomy. A few hours of sunlight in a day. No snow usually means it’s cold enough for rain and a little bit of snow, but also warm enough to melt it to turn it into slush.

So definitely, we always hope for a crisp, snowy Christmas. Every year. More opportunities for outdoor activities then, too.

Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean Discord is better than Matrix for talking. I meant it’s better than Facebook Messenger for talking. I was judging Messenger, not Matrix. 😅 I am definitely one to use and support free software where I can, even if commercial products are more polished. As long as all the functionality is there, I’m good. But in this case I couldn’t get all the functionality I needed/wanted, so I just kind of gave up on it… 😬

Very late reply, sorry…

I believe I tried to do that whole bridging thing but it was largely unsuccessful. Like, the bridges that were available didn’t support certain things, like voice chat, or posting images, or what have you. At least I think Discord is better for talking. Facebook Messenger really makes me hurl.

Exactly my point. I don’t get why there’s a fuss about installing it from the Play Store. Like, why is the Play Store bad, inherently. I’m not saying it isn’t, I’m curious as to why it would be.

found it not to be true after careful consideration

Jesus Christ bruh. What a tool.

Man, you just have some sort of chip in your shoulder. I tried my best to be nice to you but you’re just an asshole, I guess. Bye.

fellow European

Seems like you’re Palestinian. That might explain why you are possibly thinking irrationally about this add this is a very sensitive subject for you. But please try to act rationally. I’m not talking about the conflict. I’m pro Palestine/against war/conflict. But try to act reasonably. Stop putting words into my mouth and accusing me of shit. (Also Palestine is not in Europe. But maybe you’re an assimilated migrant to another country by now.)

And I like to have conversations with people who don’t bait others into a debate by playing innocent.

🤷

Well, let’s hope you don’t find someone like that. 🙄 Good day.

There’s no “innocence” without the implication of some form of guilt. Simple concept.

So you are seriously thinking I have some sort of agenda that I want to “bait Americans” into some kind of discussion where I get off (sexually?) on this. That’s the gist of it?

Have you heard of Occam’s Razor? Have you considered that it might just be the way I’m actually telling you? That I’m just curious about what Trump’s stance on Israel is, like I told you? Why is that so implausible to you?

You seem to be getting off on this conspiratorial thinking waaay more than I am, IMO. Because I’ll tell you, I am loathing this conversation with you. 😕

baiting Americans into the discussion

That’s… pretty much what I’m trying to do, yes. I’m trying to get an American (probably), who knows what Trump’s stance on Israel is. But other nationalities are also fine, just as long as they know the answer. I was just curious. But if it comes with all these preposterous accusations, I’d rather Google it. Otherwise I like to have conversations with humans rather than ask Google. It’s more fun. More social.

🤷‍♂️

innocence

What is there to be “guilty” of? What is this obsession of yours? I’m just confused here… I’m saying I don’t know Trump’s stance on Israel, and would like to know what it is, and you’re claiming I’m “guilty” of actually knowing that but I’m pretending not to know? Do you hear how absurd that sounds? Why would I do that?

Please tell me I’m misunderstanding what your claims are here.

In my case, it means I’m not trying to debate with anyone or sway opinions. And it means I’m not following statements made by American politicians very much. So that’s why I’m hoping someone who is kind and knows more will tell me. Someone already has, so I’m satisfied here. 🙂

If you still think I’m acting, so be it. 🫡

Are you really asking out of curiosity? The thread title is about not voting for Harris.

Yes, I am. I’m not a supporter of either one. I’m in northern Europe.

I don’t know, I’m just speculating. I’d like to find out though. Why is my curiosity under investigation, lol?

Very interesting.

But hold on, I was under the impression that the government donates military materials to Israel. What do they stand to gain financially or politically from supporting Israel, really? This is what I don’t get, honestly and genuinely.
