Something tells me that platform exclusivity is a major factor. And yet, they keep doing it.

You’ll need to cite your sources on that, though the APA style guide doesn’t have a citation format for “conservative grandparents with dementia.”

Borderline?

There’s still DuckDuckGo, or Kagi if you are rich.

If I had any expendable income right now, I’d preorder for that stance alone.

PPA, or Privacy Preserving Attribution, is supposed to be a more-private alternative to cross-site tracking. Mozillas idea was: what if we could give advertisers metrics without compromising individuals privacy? Honestly, it doesn’t really impact you as a user or your privacy.

The problem is:

1. Sites will continue to use cross-site tracking techniques anyway.

2. This feature was enabled for everyone without their consent or giving them an option to choose.

You can disable it, though…

1. Settings > Privacy & Security > Website Advertising Preferences.

2. Uncheck “Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement”

I am right there with you on all counts. I’m on openSUSE now and happy as a clam.

My only problem with Proton is that they don’t work with native mail clients (especially mobile). I’d go with FastMail personally, but I do see the appeal of Proton.

Does Codeberg have anything like Gitlab CI, or does it need to be paired with other build tools like Jenkins, TeamCity, etc?

Same here. Gitlab CI was a game-changer for me, too. Any thoughts on where else you’d consider going? Aside from GitHub, that is.

More people need to give Gitlab a chance. It’s really come into its own and I agree that Github now feels like typical unfocused, bloated MS software.

VS Code is a highly configurable editor that can get really close to being like an IDE, but you should really check out the Jetbrains IDEs. Best in class for just about every language they support.
