ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Technology@lemmy.world•How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture warsEnglish16·6 days agoI’ll grant you that language is potentially a dogwhistle, but on their blog, they post about Earth day and Sustainability, which is currently vilified by MAGA.
If I had to guess, their marketing team is trying to play both sides.
Without more clear evidence of their politics, I’ll probably continue to recommend them if they get people to stick with saving water, as ultimately that’s the opposite of what Trump’s policies are trying to do.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Technology@lemmy.world•How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture warsEnglish171·6 days agoAs someone who dislikes traditional low flow heads that tend to icepick you with little streams, I highly recommend high sierra showerheads. I don’t know how they pull it off, but it absolutely blasts you with water while still being low flow. Like I prefer it to any other shower head I’ve tried, low flow or not.
They make one with an adjustable valve that let’s you dial in the perfect amount of flow too.

ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Open Source@lemmy.ml•FOSS (preferably) alternative to Discord's screen sharing feature?English10·15 days agoUnfortunately it does not currently support audio sharing, but I’d recommend keeping an eye on Bananas Screen Sharing, as it may support it soon, from what I’ve seen in their Discord discussions.
There isn’t for me. Does it go away if you click the CC button at the bottom right?

The biggest advantage of private email is that it stops the email provider itself from data mining some of your most sensitive info, as Gmail and other free emails most certainly do. Basically it’s protection from surveillance capitalism, but you rightfully can’t consider it a secure way to send messages or info to other, non-encrypted users.
Posteo is only 12€ a year, so a bit cheaper. Doesn’t support custom domains though.

From what I understand, Tuta may have a slight edge theoretically, but email itself is a pretty poor protocol when it comes to privacy.
Tuta was forced by court order to implement a message logger for an individual, but AFAIK all of their previous messages were encrypted and could not be read by Tuta, and therefore the Government could only see new unencrypted messages coming in before they were encrypted.
Disroot only recently implemented at-rest encryption, so that should be fairly solid now. Posteo also allows you to encrypt your inbox and calendar at rest.
Even with that, consider all private email providers as mostly just to avoid surveillance capitalism (to prevent your data from being mined and sold), but with only marginal protection from state agents.
Tuta andPosteo are both pretty excellent (posteo is cheaper, but has a few less options that might be a deal breaker if you need them, like custom domain support).Disroot is a good free option, and they offer custom domains after a one time donation.
Mailbox is okay, though they are known to have a very odd 2fa, and will recycle your address if you ever stop paying, allowing others to claim it and potentially impersonate you.
Posteo is unique in that they’ll never delete your account for inactivity, or even if you stop paying, where they’ll let you access and read emails, but not let you send them until you pay again.
Edit: apparently Tuta is going downhill according to others here, which is unfortunate :(
