       @ondra Why use a perfectly good web app when you can use a less good Android app? 🤣 I hear you and this is why I tend to use web / PWA over Android apps on my Chromebook. Some people just want to use Android for some reason. 🤷‍♂️

       @ondra good point. To me, using a web app where one is available, feels obvious. But that’s likely because I’ve used ChromeOS for a decade and have always relied primarily on the web. 😉 Still, I agree with you and will update the post to mention using Instagram on the web. Thanks!

       @tomayac @ondra Mastodon, Proton Mail, and Squoosh daily. Occasionally others, but those are always open.

       More progress on my little #Mastodon hashtag tracking project in #JavaScript. Cutting through all the data of each status being streamed in real time start parsing out hashtags and store them to a file. That's just for now; will need to implement a simple database later. #Learning #n00b

       Having switched from Gmail to a paid #ProtonMail account with a custom domain 3 years ago, I can appreciate the reasons why folks don’t consider it. This video covers most of them quite well. Even so, I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to. Privacy and security are worth the cost IMO, even if I give up a few convenience features. Anyone else pay for #email or am I a total outlier?https://youtube.com/watch?v=LiBjlFB9z7g&feature=share

       🆕 blog post -- Sync comes to Google Authenticator but Chromebooks left outIf you’re serious about protecting your online accounts, you’re surely using some type of #authentication app. Today sync comes to #Google Authenticator, bringing it to closer to other options. Sadly, #Chromebooks are still second-class citizens when it comes to Google’s authentication solution.https://www.aboutchromebooks.com/news/sync-comes-to-google-authenticator-but-chromebooks-left-out/

       @Adam Fair point! But Chromebook users are already very much tied into Google's services, so they're not likely to use, let alone even know about, those. I do try to surface such options, having just covered NextCloud as a Chromebook replacement for many of Google's built in services. I'll continue to do so.

       @Adam or just a local Raspberry Pi / spare PC if you have one. I cut my teeth on a Pi and then set up a $5 monthly Linode for my cloud implementation. https://www.aboutchromebooks.com/news/how-to-create-a-private-alternative-to-google-services-for-chromebooks/

       I get to 💩 in a box this week. Just wanted all of you to know how lucky I am since we only share how wonderful our lives are on social media. 🤓

       After installing Awesome for a #Linux window manager, I’ve learned just how dependent I am on a mouse or trackpad. Wow - Very eye opening! Trying to learn a few new keyboard shortcuts each day going forward. 🤞🏼

       OK, as I’m getting more comfortable with Awesome WM on #Linux, I suppose this is the next logical step in my productivity transformation: #Vim!  😱

       @ruud just signed up - thanks for this. If I stick with it for a week, expect a monthly donation to help with costs. Cheers!

       Excellent intro to #Neovim and #LazyVim, explaining some of the basics, configuration steps, how Lazy works, and more. Looking forward to the next episode. https://youtube.com/watch?v=zHTeCSVAFNY&si=PMT421YdCNNQmakY

       Haven’t tried it yet but this is great news. I’ve been a happy, paying customer of @protonprivacy for a few years now: Private email, VPN, calendar and storage. This looks like a nice addition to the suite of services. 🎉https://proton.me/blog/docs-proton-drive
