I'm proud to release my first public app for #GNOME: Stencil, a powerful file renaming utility. Written in Rust and using #GTK4 / #libadwaita. I'm going to put it onto Flathub eventually, for now grab the flatpak from the Releases page and install manually. Let me know what you think. Contributions and improvement suggestions are very welcome! Get Stencil on its Codeberg repo: https://codeberg.org/fouquet/Stencil

I have been a happy happy @kagihq searcher for a month now, and it is great. I just discovered they have their own version of maps, and it is awesome. I thought that would be the last thing I depended on #google for, but I don't think so anymore.

@marco What office suite does mailbox.org come with? They don't make that clear.

The capstone project for this cleanse will be trying #grapheneos or #lineageos. I am contemplating either. The one thing I will miss is contactless phone payments. I never use it, but that one time I forgot my wallet when going to the store really saved me.

@marco This is all very informative, thank you.

@marco Server location is definitely a factor for me too. I'm on the fence about #proton though because a lot of my peers locally are switching to that and they have a suite of collaboration tools that might come in handy with that group. Their bundle deal with VPN and everything is also intriguing.

@marco That looks like a good option as well. So many options! I might need to set up a poll

Another open question is cellphone carrier. I have been a long time user of #googlefi. I am (a) worried about losing my number if I don't #degoogle correctly, but I am also (b) underwhelmed by the options of US carriers. Google Fi has a simple pricing structure that gives you almost global data roaming by default and an extra data SIM for your tablet/laptop. Never had to talk to a rep or walk in to a store, it is all managed really well. What alternatives are there?

One open questions is, what do we do instead of #gmail and #gapps? Overwhelemed with options with the obvious choice being #proton. I don't love the custom stack that it relies on, and I am tempted to find more vanilla services that include standard things like collabora office and #nextcloud, but I am not in love with those stacks as well.. this part feels the most sticky to me. #gapps have served us well and their ubiquity helps with collaboration with anyone.

Migrating away from #YoutubeMusic to #deezer. I tried it a number of years ago but it didn't have the obscure Hebrew music I listen to. I think that changed recently and their collection grew. Their app is not great and ChromeCast doesn't work very well with it, but I should migrate away from that eventually too. Bonus points for open-ish API that works well with #musicassistant, so lots of potential there.
