What are you even talking about not having a choice? I agree Google is awful, but even on pixel phones you can change most aspects of it - definitely including your browser/search app and engine. Just switch to Firefox and/or use duckduckgo, or any of the other browsers and search engines that are readily available. I haven't used chrome in years, but if you're a chromebro I'm pretty sure it supports changing the search engine too.
If your launcher doesn't support changing your search engine/app in a built-in search bar, throw a different browser widget up on your home screen or get a new launcher with a better app/web search widget, unless you got your phone from work or something with restrictions in place you can easily swap out your launcher for a 3rd party one. I personally use Niagara launcher and like it a lot, if you want a more traditional launcher there's KISS (It's also foss), and launchair

Highly recommend getting on the national do not call list https://www.donotcall.gov/ . Doesn't stop all spam calls, but it shrunk the amount I got at least

Normal phone number + carrion is decent

Throw it in a crontab job if you're on Linux even, 1 line in cron to run everything there to update on whatever schedule you want

... What? The entire post and article are about the crypto wallet they made, it doesn't even mention AI. They did sort of go into AI with proton scribe (llm model for writing/proofreading emails) but that's completely separate from this post and article.

Side note, they're still working on mail, drive, VPN, and their office suite apps. Their proton docs got real time collab earlier in the year iirc. They have different teams doing different things, wallet was a bad decision and a waste of time and resources, but it doesn't mean they aren't doing other things too

It sounds like you're missing a bit of fat - I love this recipe from king Arthur baking, 1 part fat per 10 parts flour by volume (1/4 cup fat per 2 1/2 cups flour) https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/simple-tortillas-recipe

On an extra note, I actually switched to slskd (since writing that comment earlier today)because the nicotine app bugs me sometimes (it's just the app ran in a VM), so far I like it

Protonvpn lets you port forward. I use docker and have a gluetun container that connects to protonvpn, all of my other docker containers for sailing the high seas (arr suite, qbittorrent, sabnzbd, soulseek client, etc) are routed through it and I have port forwarding setup to the ones that need it. For soulseek I use nicotine-plus-docker, all traffic is routed through the gluetun container, the port is forwarded, and a bit shy of 700 gb uploaded since March so I can confirm it works well.

I don't think the protonvpn Linux client supports port forwarding yet so only docker things can do it right now afaik, but anything I want permanently through VPN runs in docker anyway

They'll still claim interference because he has ongoing court cases, maga cult followers may not be good or smart people, but they are skilled at mental gymnastics around why them losing was unfair or justifying Trump's actions

Well, look where we are
