He wants a notification— note, no input required to end it.

He wants a ding, not a responses required alarm.

Not sure about that, I think the term backlit is applicable there even if technically incorrect.

What? You absolutely can. Look at… Every recent model of kindle.

Mike Duncan’s History of Rome?

I do think they are compatible with 3rd party apps if you use the paid Proton email bridge though.

What about Geary? Thunderbird? This is a ridiculous “we know better” move. There is 3rd party app support, but it’s paywalled. They want your money.

There’s an extension which allows PWAs.

That’s like objectively far worse, especially when used Pixel + LineageMicroG (which is admittedly worse than Graphene) is probably even cheaper than Chinese phone

I’ve heard before Graphene is toxic. What did they do?

I thought you had one of the heartbeat aiding implements or such.

Not self hosted but Ente photos works perfectly for me. Paid but cheap.

You have a microchip in you? Curious about how/why, tell me more.

For YouTube, it’s probably not possible to not use its content, but you can try alternate front ends like Piped (and its wonderful Android client, LibreTube, if you’re on Android.)

For Gmail, not sure if this works for you but I set the vacation feature to reply to every email I receive notifying them of my new email. I switched to Vivaldi Webmail (Proton doesn’t let you use 3rd party clients w/o a subscription plan btw, I’d switched to Vivaldi first so not a major thing for me) but Skiff (paid) looks good, Kagi Search is planning an email service, Tutanota has an email service, and I guess you could self host. While you transition, use a client that lets you have a unified inbox (K9 works on Android) and just have both logged in.

Edit: I’m just wrong, nvm
