The upgrade process on Kinoite (KDE Atomic) was extremely fast and smooth. Fedora has always been among the most reliable when it comes to upgrades in my experience.

The prices are insane though. $539 for a 6 Pro that has already received its last major update and is only getting 2 years of security updates. $629 for a 7 Pro that adds one more year of updates. Plus the 7 Pro can be bought new with 4 times the storage for less money.

Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.

Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.

Proton is still a for-profit company. However, there is now the non-profit Proton Foundation that is the largest shareholder of the Proton company (not necessarily majority shareholder).

Plus, non-profits are not guaranteed to be positive. See OpenAI for example.

Edit: Grammar

The foundation is the largest shareholder, but Proton has not specified whether it controls a majority.

But T-Mobile is still offering the service, so it is not the lifetime of that either.

Per the GitHub readme:

This app is discontinued. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version. Interactions (issues, PRs) are limited now, and the entire repo will be archived after the last release. Thus all contributions are preserved for any future (re)use. The forum is still open for discussions and questions. I would kindly ask you to refrain from trying to challenge the decision or asking "why-type" questions - I wont engage with them.

The reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

This is extremely disappointing news. I have been using the Syncthing-Fork version, but since it is based on this app, this may be the end for that app as well.

Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.

I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.

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.

The $1600 MacBook Pro only has 8GB of RAM. That is completely unacceptable.

I would look at the Radeon 6700 XT if you only plan on gaming. Despite being a last gen GPU, it outperforms the 4060 for around the same price. The 6700 XT is more comparable to the 4060 Ti. And it also includes Starfield if that is a game you are interested in. Here is a good ranking from Tom's Hardware showing how most GPUs compare to each other.

Proton Mail and Tutanota are great free options.
