I've been using Proton Calendar since it became available, and have loved it. It keeps getting better and better. Whenever anyone asks me for a non-Google Calendar, I recommend this. I use /e/OS so haven't used it via Google Play store either; I must have used either the /e/OS app store or Aurora - I can't recall.

No idea! It'd be good to know, I agree!
Great! I should have probably said that eOS are selling the refurbed phones as Murena. The list of devices that eOS can go on is incredible, and there's an "easy installer" that helps with the process for many. I've also found the system itself just so smooth and easy to use, with its own cloud service, on top of being deGoogled 🙂 Also privacy-focused and open source software - from a non-profit! 👍
I feel your pain! I switched to Murena from e.foundation so you can get a deGoogled refurb phone - or just install the eOS operating system on an older phone. Hope this helps or at least provides food for thought. https://e.foundation/
Wow. I feel like a fool - genuinely just started following Privacy Guides after buying into it as a "rebrand" of Privacy Tools. From this it becomes clear that this wasn't the case. I had no idea, so thank you for sharing this.
I like Firefox for the most part but sounds like you might like Librewolf?
Hate the state, not the people.
Being pro-privacy and pro-freedom is a bias. (Not a bad one)
Lol well said.
I don't remember saying anything about that? I was talking about boycotts and divestments as strategies. I'm certainly not going to defend the Ukrainian state any more than I am the Russian state as somehow the poor little "oppressed" entity; that's ludicrous (and kind of grotesque to compare Russia to Palestine...jfc). It's the people I care about, not nation-states.
The Putin Regime is diabolical, of course. And divestments and boycotts helped bring down South Africa apartheid, so such actions they have their place. But I think what bothers a lot of people is the double standards of corporations doing business with, say, the likes of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who trample over human rights and whose brutality has created the worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen. It's definitely worth debating the targeting and effectiveness (and consistency, or lack thereof) in such pulling of services.
This is really comforting - especially as I'm a self-employed freelancer who has continually left traditional social media sites and moved more and more onto the Fediverse!
