SoapDogPosted a long rant about #Apple and how they lost me after being a user for 26 years:

Last straw for me was email. There's something simple about the ecosystem when you use theirs, but when it insisted on putting APnews email about Gaza in junk until I turned off filtering, I decided to switch away.
As a datapoint I'm running e/os on the Fairphone 6, and the banking apps are fine so far (Sweden), though android auto has just stopped working again. I don't have any googevil accounts.
@hypostase oh thanks for letting me know. I use Thunderbird, so my mail filtering is all over the place anyway as I train it.
I checked some of the banking apps against a list they have on the /e/OS website and one of my banks doesn't seem to be working. I'm also afraid some of the governemnt apps I need might not work. Maybe I need to be gradual with my migration and start with Android and maybe later get a second device to try /e/OS and see how well it works.
@soapdog I kept my iPhone on a backup number as, well, backup, but I've moved everything off it.
I am back using Thunderbird, but I'd stopped a long time ago due to memory isses, but that seems OK now. I still need to shove filtering back onto the server, where it belongs.
That said I'm looking for mail, banking & government ID apps, navigation. I'm still working on calendaring that I don't hate.
But the killer is looking to be AndroidAuto, and I fear somewhat what else will be locked down. Unfotunrately I've had a hard time finding good docs, and I'm not really up to reading the source.
@hypostase have you seen that Thunderbird posted public roadmaps this month? They're focusing on the calendar UI/UX.
