Hey folks! I’ve been on a quest to degoogle and get more privacy in my life. I want to strike a good balance between privacy and usability, so while the most hardened apps out there might be best for privacy, maybe they are not great for usability.
My first step is a good mail and calendar provider with a good iOS experience. I’m using proton right now, but I’ve had issues with mail and calendar on mobile. Calendar has been slow and just not great to use. Mail is mostly okay but often I will delete mail and it will take ages for it to actually leave my inbox and it just feels unresponsive.
In the calendar app I need to be able to view a Google calendar. My work schedule is all in a Google workspace for my job and I need to at least see it for when I’m scheduling my personal stuff. I understand I most likely cannot create or edit events on it from a private app, but seeing it is a must.
Any good recommendations out there, or am I already just ok at Proton and I need to overlook what feels to me a subpar mobile experience?
you have to look at it from a class perspective: it doesn’t matter whether or not tim cook or andy yen likes trump, it only matters that they align with trump to protect their profits above all else.
apply this to your threat model: if you’re a high enough profile target, how are you going to get the word out when proton caves to trump’s successor to block your access; or your equipment is seized; and/or if you’re sanctioned like huseyin dogru was, making you unable to pay anyone to get the word out on your behalf and your allies subject to similarly targeted and sanctioned for trying to help you.
