Happy customer of Mailbox for 3 years here! At first the UI was awful, but now they have redesigned it very, very nicely. Yes you have to pay but the price is completely fair, particularly if you are a heavy email user.

UI aside, I have had 0 issues with them. I have a custom domain, so I can create many aliases. Being able to sync my contacts and calendar via WebDav thanks to Mailbox instead of having to use a Google account is a great plus. On the computer I use their website, but many people prefer Thunderbird. On my phone and tablet I use FairEmail (I'm a big fan of the dev. That man is on the road to create the most flexible email app in the universe).

They offer a full suite with Drive, Notes, Calendar... But I don't use them much, so I can't comment on them.

    • EU copyright overhaul risks forcing VPNs to police the internet — here's what we know in c/technology@lemmy.world

    When they began the ban, I discovered I was banned out of the RAE website and many other completely unrelated websites. All because of a sport. On the plus side, I managed to convince many friends of the importance of using a good VPN.

    Some Pixel owners can't unlock their phones after the latest update in c/android@lemdro.id

    I installed Graphene on my last phone by using another phone (and a good cable). This time I used a computer (and another good cable), and it worked exactly the same lol (that is, perfectly).

    I love Graphene

    Mainly because I like experimenting, but also because I like reading under blankets and I don't enjoy my hands getting cold. Petty complaints, really.

    Main reason is playing around with my devices

    Help using a page turner on Kobo Libra Colour (lemmy.zip)
     

    Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me. I will keep this short:

    I have a Kobo Libra Colour with the software version 5.15.245253 (e19bae193b 26/2/26) and though I can connect the Free 2 page turner, it doesn't work. It does work on my father's Kobo Clara BW (upgraded to the latest version).

    Anyone knows why? What can I do to fix it?

    EDIT AND SOLUTION: I gave up and bought the actual Kobo Remote. Works like a charm

    Car anxiety update (short) (lemmy.zip)
     

    First of all, THANK YOU ALL for your advice and kindness in my last post. You are all wonderful people!

    I took your advice of going slowly, and today I sat in the car (alone), played around with the lights, moved the mirrors and the seat.

    My anxiety spiked, but reading your comments and encouragement helped A LOT. I spent around 20 minutes there, breathing and pushing buttons.

    I can do this! Slowly! The most important step is the next one

    I want to face my fear of driving. Looking for kindness and advice, thank you. (Long) (lemmy.zip)
     

    So... I got my diver's license as soon as I turned 18. It was a very stressful period of my life, and I hated everything about driving. They promised me freedom, but I got shackled.

    Passing the exam as a nightmare (took me 3 attempts) and even during the lessons the professor saw how horribly tense I was. I got sick just by thinking about the car.

    Once I passed, my family decided that I'd get over my fears by forcing me to drive, every single day, for weeks, with the whole family in the car, yelling, mocking me...

    I had several panic attacks that were dismissed as lack of maturity, and I stopped driving. It's been years.

    But now I'm going to have to get better at this due to circumstances, and I'm scared.

    I feel that I can't focus on all the elements of the road, I have a very hard time calculating distances because I'm very short (edit: 1'50m, if that is relevant) and barely see above the wheel, I have to move the seat so close to the wheel that I fear that if one day the airbag jumps, I'll suffocate. My blind spots seem infinite.

    My car is automatic, so no stick to worry about.

    If you have read all I wrote, I'll greatly appreciate any advice or encouragement. Thank you

    Example of a sunstressed plant! (Sarracenia) (lemmy.zip)
     

    Some plants react to the sun much like humans do, "getting a tan". It's called sun stressing!

    For this picture I kept one of Scylla's "mouths" in the shadow (indirect light), so it shows its natural green colour, but I made sure that the other "mouth" enjoyed as much (direct) sun as possible.

    The plant is not upset about this experiment at all. It keeps pushing "mouths" like crazy.

    Two Sarracenia "mouths" with a lid. One of them is bright purple and the other one is pale green.

    Troubleshooting Fossil Hybrid HR (lemmy.zip)
     

    If any of you is having trouble pairing the newest versions of the firmware (Fossil Hybrid HR, in my case, Charter model) with Gadgetbridge because the device keeps getting bricked (the watchface stops working, never going back 'home'), here's the solution:

    • Make sure there are no apps in your phone that can interfere with the watch connection.
    • Download an older version of the official app to trigger a firmware downgrade (I went back to DN1.0.2.21r.v1, that corresponds with version 4.6.0 of the official app). It will look like it's upgrading, but it will be doing the opposite. Don't let Google Play succeed in updating the app, or it won't work. Delete the old official app.
    • Download the patched official app so you can get the password for the device from the Fossil servers, but don't let it upgrade your firmware. You have to be fast, interrupt the process... Honestly, it took me MANY attempts.
    • Delete the patched app.
    • Download Gadgetbridge and pair it with your watch, using the password you got on step 3.
    • Done!
