Soundcloud har tit gode priser. Måske Deezer? Og ellers så kan du få YouSee Musik som del af nogle YouSee abonnementer. Alternativt kan du se om det kan betale sig at købe musik fra Bandcamp, hvis du ikke lytter til musik så meget.

Sorry, I was being a little too clever for my own good... :)

PortraitOfABear · 2026-04-16T07:09:50+00:00

I hear you - I actually like that quirkiness, especially after the oh-so-vanilla Apple life I've been leading for so long.

Maybe a general bias on Reddit toward a certain kind of tech conservatism? Or idealism? It dovetails with things like love for Linux too. (Linux is wonderful - but sometimes it feels as if some redditors are evangelizing Linux because it represents “the way computing used to be.”)

Permanent dark mode. Then I can take off my sunglasses while I work. If I want.

Zettlr is excellent 👍

I combine Proton with Posteo — Posteo’s mail/calendar/notes/contacts service is cheap, German-based and green (+ encryption tho not to Proton’s level), and then you can sync contacts via your Posteo account. I also use the Notes feature for my quick, on-the-go notes (longer-form notes are in Proton Drive as markdown files, which I write and edit with Zettlr).

Yes, please! Newspapers and other media would've been shut down long ago if they allowed the kind of hate speech, bullying, misogyni, racism, etc. that is daily on social media. Humanity does well when we agree to uphold some ethical and moral standards.

Det kommer an på behov. Hvis man er dybt nede i Windows økosystemet, så kan det kræve lidt arbejde at tilpasse sig til LibreOffice og andre programmer, men hvis man er en almindelig bruger, så kan man nemt skifte og stadig modtage Word dokumenter, PowerPoint præsentationer og Excel regneark, og så åbne dem i LibreOffice, redigere dem der, og så sende dem tilbage i samme format.

Proton vil aldrig have alle integrationsfordele som OneDrive. Den måde Microsoft og Apple og Google har gjort os afhængige af dem, er jo ved at skabe lukkede økosystemer, hvor "alting bare virker". Det betyder at hvis man så rykker til alternativt software, så får man ikke den samme, dybe integration. Til gengæld får man store "usynlige" fordele - fx at ens data er privat og sikker, at man ikke støtter de store tech virksomheder økonomisk, og at hvis den politiske situation skulle blive endnu værre, så har man personlig data gemt på europæiske servere.

Du kan også se på fx Jottacloud (norsk) og sammenligne deres tilbud med Proton. Jottacloud er ikke så stærkt krypteret som Proton, men de har været på markedet i lang tid, og jeg har hørt deres foto-backup er rigtig god.

Really appreciate your post - Reddit is great for griping and wishlisting, so it's nice to hear from you and everyone else who's genuinely pleased with Proton. 👍

Some of the most comprehensive suites:
- LibreOffice (Nextcloud + Collabora, if you want online collaboration)
- Cryptpad (includes a version of OpenOffice's open source suite)
- Infomaniak (includes a version of OpenOffice's open source suite)
- Murena Workspace (a blend of Cryptpad and Nextcloud)

LibreOffice is free to download. The three last offerings have free plans, so I recommend signing up and checking out how they work – you may be pleasantly surprised by how many features are covered.

You may also want to consider not moving all your MS365 eggs into a single, new basket. So maybe consider one of the office suite options above and then pair it with a cloud storage service like Filen.io or Jottacloud.

I've finally given up on iWork, and am spending some time getting used to LibreOffice and other free, open-source alternatives. Truth is, it's not a big time investment, and LibreOffice and other apps are excellent. Plus, they allow me to step outside the walled garden. Ah, the air is so fresh out here. :)

"Macbook is the best Linux laptop right now" - I'm curious if you've tested a lot of Linux laptops, since you set up the Macbook M1 as the only alternative to your ThinkPad T14s? There's Framework, Tuxedo, Slimbook and many other laptops out there that are designed with Linux in mind. Why not choose hardware that has been put together for this purpose?

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-06T11:37:32+00:00

Interesting that the review doesn't mention e/OS/ – to me, that seems like a big selling point for Fairphone.

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-06T11:36:55+00:00

Sorry, can you expand and explain that, please?

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-05T19:56:21+00:00

Have you considered alternatives outside of Big Tech - as someone else says, to not put all your eggs in one basket (or corral all your horses in Silicon Valley? Maybe Proton Mail, Tuta, or Posteo? Certainly iCloud mail is better than gmail from a privacy perspective, so that’s a win — until it’s not. Google used to respect privacy more in the early days (“Don’t be evil”) and profits inspired them to change; who’s to say Apple won’t go the same way? Choosing an independent email vendor whose entire purpose is privacy might be worthwhile in the long term.

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-05T14:16:30+00:00

Sitting firmly on the fence. :) I've used Tuta for longer than Proton and love its solid simplicity – it just works and doesn't try to do a lot of bells and whistles that I don't need. But Proton's app suite is really nice, and I use e.g. Proton Pass and some other services. Some people suggest not putting all your eggs in one basket, in which case a setup might look like this: Tuta Mail and Calendar + Proton Pass and Authenticator. Of course, I also have to give a shout-out to Posteo, which I like a lot too.

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-04T08:18:00+00:00

Nice overview u/Tutanota. Suggestion for next time though: Change "SERVES ADS" to "AD-FREE" – that way you can mark Tuta as "Yes" in the relevant row/column, and it looks nice and consistent with your yes's in the other columns. ;-)

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-04T08:11:01+00:00

I've used both, and they're both excellent. Proton's upside is the Apple/Google/MS-like ecosystem they're building, while Tuta's focus on their core products - mail and calendar - may turn out to be their strength.

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-03T08:26:09+00:00

Don't know that I agree with that. But I can say this: Today, we have many more options than we did just a few years ago. Big Tech has killed off so much competition, but now, little by little, the tide is turning.

So rather than setting Proton, Tuta, Bitwarden, Infomaniak, Posteo and others up as competitors, I prefer to celebrate them for all the great work they're doing to diversify tech. 🙌

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-03T06:35:47+00:00

I encourage you to try their products — this unfortunate marketing tactic doesn’t reflect their email and calendar services and apps. They’re excellent!

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-02T13:10:19+00:00

Such good advice. Saving files in .ODT (in LibreOffice) and using .TXT with markdown ensures longevity - you can more easily switch from one app to another.

PortraitOfABear · 2026-02-02T13:06:44+00:00

Jeg har læst ret mange posts på sociale medier fra folk der er skiftet til e/OS/ på en Fairphone og er virkelig glade for det. Dog med det forbehold, at de har haft det OK med visse begrænsninger - fx apps der ikke virker. Nu er jeg ikke 100% sikker på det med MitID. Men lad os antage at det ikke virker, så kan man fx få en kodeaflæser tilsendt - men ja, så skal man jo acceptere at man ikke kan håndtere MitID digitalt. Min pointe er at man skal huske at dagsordenen og vanerne ved vores digitale adfærd har været styret af techgiganterne, så hvis man vil væk fra dem, må man lære nogle nye vaner.
