I used to use Standard Notes for a while (didn’t self-host the server) but for various reasons switched over to Joplin, syncing the data between devices with Syncthing.

Like the old joke goes, “when I’m watching anime and my mom walks in, I alt tab to porn because it’s easier to explain”

“Real” in this sense is not etymologically related to “royal”.

The price of a cup of coffee yeah maybe, but with how many paid online services there are, how many cups of coffee a day y’all think I’m having?

That’s the main reason I didn’t even consider them. “Proton(mail)” just sounds more professional when used in actually important contexts and is easier for people to get right.

In general, I’ve noticed that a lot of privacy focused software, particularly FOSS, are really bad at choosing names which make people want to use them. They tend to have names which might appeal to some crypto-nerds, but which make them sound just weird or questionable or niche to the average user. Like (the precursor to) Signal the messaging app used to be called TextSecure. There’s no way I would’ve gotten my parents and siblings to use something called TextSecure. The name just sounds so geeky and niche.

When I started watching anime, the characters were my age. Now I’m significantly older, but I still like similar characters than I used to in a similar way than I used to.

I’ve also seen Japanese schoolkids in real life, and while I find them adorable the same way I find any kids adorable, I have absolutely zero interest in them in the way I do towards the fictional characters. They are two completely different things for me now.

And for the older audience, it is a form of escapism back to the days of their youth where all they had to worry about was their love life and school exams instead of taxes and toxic work culture and societal norms and their love life.

OpenStreetMap has been going for almost 20 years now. It’s a very well known open map data platform. Like Wikipedia, anyone can edit OSM map data, and all of the data is freely available for anyone to use.

I’ve been waiting for this!
