yk, fair enough. if you like it, that’s fine by me

yep, the app is SLOW

I’ve tried tuta before. It seems pretty okay, but it doesn’t support IMAP meaning you have to use their app, and (at least for me) it was SLOW.

I personally use disroot, but there’s loads of other options, like mailfence seems like a decent alternative. Just pick one that supports IMAP

i appreciate your attempt :)

fun!

for me:

• google drive > pcloud (objectively better app tbh)
• chrome > librewolf > floorp (i like having the tab bar at the bottom, and librewolf is a bit annoying sometimes)
• photos > ente
• gmail > proton > tuta > “disroot” (proton and tuta aren’t IMAP, and their first-party apps are slow. disroot probably isn’t the best one, I just chose one that supports IMAP)
• google search > ddg > SearXNG
• google office > onlyoffice on windows, libreoffice on linux
• google maps > Organic Maps
• google passwords > bitwarden
• google auth > ente auth :)

that’s true

still pretty interesting though

I’m looking for ones where the chemical formulae is a valid one for a real compound. Don’t think “princess” is a real chemical compound

sodium bromate?

oh i didn’t know that apple wanted to use audio kacks for keyboards and mice, i only thought it was some of the ipods

that makes sense. those connectors would have to be pretty huge

sad. now we use RECTANGLES to record funny videos instead of cylinders.

oh cool

oh interesting

yeah those pc plugs are nice. if someone figured out a way for the cable to detect whether a device is 230/240V or 120V and make it stop giving power if there’s a mismatch, that would he really cool. sadly, that’s probably not possible, and even if it was, it wouldn’t be widely adopted. sad.

i wonder how many pins could you fit with modern technology on something the size of a 30-pin connector? would that mean you could get more data/power being transferred? (the wire would have to get way thicker though)

oh yeah usb has loads of pins for data. no wonder barrel jacks were never used to transfer data…

oh yeah designing an idiot-proof power plug that can be rotated 360 degrees would be challenging ad well

woah that’s a very in-depth answer. yeah makes sense that cylindrical connectors aren’t actually designed to rotate a bunch. I assume it would be something similar to weird crackling sound when you turn an 3.5mm jack cable too hard?

wdym? I did say the advantage of USB-C was a universal standard. that’s definitely why everything uses USB-C, much more convenient.

My later paragraphs were focusing on a theoretical cylindrical wall plug (hence the comparison with the euro plug, schuko, uk plug, etc). sorry if just “plug” wasn’t clear.
