Dino on Linux and Conversations for Android are both amazing clients imo, but the rest I've tried are SEVERELY lacking. Especially on iOS.

I personally think the future from a technological perspective is SimpleX Chat. Fixes so many issues that plague other private IMs, however I'm waiting to switch until I see that their venture capital strategy is actually sustainable and won't enshittify it.

My bad, v tired when I replied. That is an interesting feature the only similar solution I can think of is using something like Fossify Dialer (a fork of the now ad-ridden and proprietary Simple Dialer) and use T9 dialing. That could achieve a similar speed / memorization as a gesture.

You could definitely get good enough at T9 to at least call people without looking at the screen.

I'd say its better, but not perfect.

I think its redundant and an incredibly bad idea to have my email, vpn, calendar, and cloud provider host my passwords. If I wanted a cloud based password manager, I'd use a standalone tool like Bitwarden. (imo, I realistically think protons implementation in probably just as secure for the average user.)

Either way, I think a password database is too important to store in the cloud, so I use KeePass.

Figure skating is a perfect example of a performance sport, there isnt any physicality. Also, I think its absolutely ridiculous to claim that Jackie Mitchell striking out an aging Ruth and Gherig in an exhibition match is a woman 'starting to win'.

I think you mean sports without a physical activity aspect; and even then, sports like chess don't separate males and females (they offer female-only competitions).

There’s no other point to segregating sports by gender, just straight white cis dudes getting bent out of shape by any challenge to their supposed superiority.

What are you on about? There are two HUGE reasons: safety and fairness:

  1. Especially in contact sports, allowing women to play with men is not safe, and would only lead to an environment conducive to women getting injured.

  2. There would be zero professional female athletes (excluding sports that only require mental strategy ofc) if there were no separate leagues for women. They wouldn't perform at even close to the same level as the men, AND would be at increased risk of injury.

I don't know what fantasy world you live in, but here are biological factors that make it necessary to separate men and women in order to have fair competition. Female athletes would be infinitely worse off if forced to try to compete in a single league shared with men, because they aren't be able to.

A new proton product that isn't useless? ahem PASS

I like this, and I REALLY hope Proton ignores the fact that a web browser came first in their community poll for their next service / product. That result shocked me, I couldn't think of a worse (specifically, more redundant) application for them to release / develop.

Just tried it and really enjoyed, but the contact sources just don't seem to work? Two options, one from sms and one from com.android.contacts, and neither are correct (missing / duplicate contacts). Confused as to why the dialer can't just pull from my contacts like every other dialer, or I'd probably switch!

I use fossify dialer, not familiar with Drupe, but works well for me.

Emacs find-file with vertico and orderless achieve this nicely.

If anything I use them for everything because I find it much easier / faster.
