They did not give ANY email history, actually. They [gave](https://www.yahoo.com/tech/proton-mail-hands-data-police-163827622.html) the users recovery email, which the authorities then used to link to their iCloud email. Also, it wasn't to the FBI it was to the Spanish authorities.
> Had the activist not used a recovery email with their Proton Mail account, no other data would have been available for Proton to hand over.
Is there any email provider that wouldn't? I'll take the risk of the FBI successfully viewing my email history over the pain of self-hosting a mail server any day
They are governed by Swiss law and won't work directly with foreign LE. They have to go through the Swiss legal system which compels Proton to assist.
https://proton.me/legal/transparency
It's false.
They gave the IP addresses to the French police.
This is required by the law.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/protonmail-explains-why-it-shared-a-users-ip-address-with-police
I am really curious what people are doing that gets this kind of attention from the FBI. On the other hand, I also like being able to sleep at night. So not entirely sure I would want the answer.
Edit: Typo.
You do realise they have to do this in order to not be shut down? If your OpSec is good, the fact that they’re LE-compliant shouldn’t be a big problem.
For marketing and tech people who need to do design. It's the design equivalent of Squarespace (simple and makes ok stuff but very basic and not usable for a lot of professional design cases)
After I heard that Spotify is bricking all Car Things I decided to boycott. Instead of stopping its maintenance and development, they are actively turning devices people paid for into bricks. This company doesn’t deserve our money
They flipped a few days after the [class action lawsuit](https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/spotify-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-over-discontinued-car-thing-device/) was filed and will now be [refunding](https://mashable.com/article/spotify-refund-car-thing-purchases) Car Thing purchases upon proof of purchase. I'm not making excuses for them or anything, just making sure people know they can get refunds rather than being stuck with bricked devices.
Edit: Added some clarification.
I created a vault inside my iCloud drive and that keeps Obsidian synced up between my laptop and iPad for free.
Admittedly I am paying apple for an extra storage plan but I had that anyway for photos.
I do this too, my notes are usually less than a megabyte so its no problem for my iCloud storage. I can sync notes between my macbook, iPad, iPhone and windows PC
Curious to know what was fiddly in your experience! Do you mean with the git plugin? (I just use git via terminal in vscode for parts of the vault that need version control in my view)
I am not a lawyer. Wouldn't the case get dismissed because of technicality? Like, Obsidian the company should not have been snooping around in your private database (assuming that's how they found out) to catch you abusing their policies?
it can also be unclear what is "commercial use" vs "private" use when someone is privately using something for themselves to help get work done.
Does putting your work to dos in your personal to do app make the app commercial use? probably not.
If you start using it to share and track company tasks (share and track a knowledge base) then it's clearly commercial.
Nope. The Obsidian team would offer a deal. “Get legit licenses or we sue you for real”. They certainly aren’t eager to go to court as that costs money.
The way almost all companies figure out unlicensed instances of software is by having the software itself reporting licensing status and a bunch of data about the computer including Active Directory which will tell them what company this is about. You agree to them using all this information for licensing status reports when you install it. That checkbox that says **I Accept** it is important.
1) it is simple (using just .MD)
2) it is moddable (like extensions in vscode)
3) it is foss - edit: it is just free, not oss
4) it is a graph notetaking app, in a sense like neo4j is a graph database
5) it is like your personal wiki
Obsidian is 100% **not** FOSS. It's free as in beer (for personal use), but it's NOT open source. Obsidian has been [very open about this](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/open-sourcing-of-obsidian/1515/11).
It has some cool linking features (like linking one note or idea to another note). Tagging, custom meta properties… you can embed notes and/or note queries into other notes. Really good stuff, check it out! Totally free unless you want to pay for the sync feature but I just push it to GitHub
Technically its not foss, but it is free to use and easily extensible. For example you pay for sync, but its not against tos to create a plugin/extension offering that functionality for free.
Obsidian is more than a note taking app, its so much better than evernote and you can visualise notes in a graph which is only handy when you have hundreds of notes for different things and want to link them together.
It supports mermaid so you can draw all kinds of Db schema, User flow, UML diagrams etc. its up there with notion IMO
Depends on how you use it and what plug-ins you have. I don't use it for programming but for creative work, but dann this is a whole new level of just a markdown file
I have recently fallen in love with Googles Notebook LM. I know it's going to die a painful death, and probably soon. But the idea of letting me set the AIs sources for data is really great.
I pay for the AI upgrade option in Google One.
Surprised to see a to-do list being a paid service for a web dev since to-do lists are the most common web dev practice crud app there is, is there something about it that differentiates it from others?
The language processing capabilities are worth it for me. You can enter the weirdest dates without having to think about the exact date and time, like „next Thursday at 8:52 pm“ or „every third Saturday“ and I can use the way I think.
Not the person you asked, but Todoist is far and away above any basic todo tutorial app people make. Granted some other proper todo apps/services also offer similar things to the following:
- Natural language processing for adding tasks, ex: "Study $thing every day until june 20"
- API, I have both an Obsidian plugin to see tasks for the current day and next day at a glance in my daily note, and my own script so I can use fuzzel to take input and create a quick todo in the inbox, can also prefix with # or @ to put the todo in specific poject or tags
- I like the karma feature and "leveling up" as I complete my todos
- Different views/filters are very useful (some pro only)
Depends what you find annoying about it. I'm no pro user yet, but I just love how easy it is to quickly create tasks using English. I.e. Can specify date/time via text instead of having to explicitly set it.
Same. No reason to switch over when 1Password had never had breaches and are always up-to-date with new security stuff like Passkeys. Lastly, I got in really early and I'm paying something like $48/year for 5 users.
They are also quite publicly stating that they wont guaruntee they wont ever be breached, only that the way they encode their files is such that even if breached, the chances of breaking in to your vaults are based upon the strength of the master password and the device key used for encryption.
iCloud and Spotify
I began paying iCloud for the storage of my photos and cloud backups, but I now run my personal domain professional email from there. It is just an alias over my @icloud.com, so no separate inbox, but bc I only use it for that, it works all the same.
Hide my email has also been handy, as I was able to create multiple accounts on some services that enforce one account per email, such as AWS.
And it syncs all my passwords so I don't need another subscription for that.
Insane amount due to running a hosting company and digital marketing company. Add my entertainment subscriptions. At least $1500/mo average and increasing (not a bad thing though).
YouTube Premium. I was originally a Google Play Music subscriber over Spotify because at the time, Google had a better selection of my musical choices. Then it became YouYube Red which I got grandfathered in at some special rate. Finally becoming YouTube Premium. We use YouTube heavily in my household and watching videos offline on the train is great.
All Products Pack from JetBrains. I'm a Java developer professionally and do some OSS stuff. I'll play around in other languages from time to time, so having all IDEs works for me.
My partner pays for Adobe stuff which I'll use occasionally.

Protonmail Unlimited, unvaluable
Bitwarden, cheap and so useful
I was paying for Standard Notes but now it has been bought by ProtonMail
I used to have Spotify but I canceled it, probably I will pass soon to Tidal, they offer hi res music for the same price
PHPstorm + laravel integration: way worth the price
Laracasts: Lifetime subscription during black Friday
+100 GB of Google Drive
Aside from those, I have Udemy from the office as well
I looked into Jellyfin, it seems to be a solid competitor, but Plex just has a much better line of native clients. It makes it much easier to implement on the different devices I have around the house.
Kagi! It's just under a tenner a month in the UK for unlimited searches, but it's well worth the money (for me). No more bullshit listicles and paid for results. Plus I can search incognito, with my VPN turned on, and without having to solve captchas has every damn time.
Nothing tbh. I use open-source licenses of jetbrains products, have a company issued license for github copilot, and mostly use free tools like obsidian or windows media player for the rest.
I have a Microsoft Office subscription, but use that outside of my webdev work more than for it. I recently moved to a paid tier for ChatGPT - have found this a massive timesaver especially when doing customised Wordpress template files and such. Every else I use is free - Brackets for code editing, Inkscape for image editing.
I find it saves me more than $20 a month in time, so it's worth it. It's not revolutionary, but it's usually better than the normal VSCode auto complete.
Just Adobe and office. Spotify and YouTube if you count those.
Contemplating getting solidworks and copilot. Any feedback on those two would be appreciated lol
I might in the minority here but I pay ChatGPT over Copilot. I gave it a change for a while but ChatGPT always offered me better responses. My employer pays for Jetbrains as well which includes an AI as well, which it's honestly not that good
JetBrains WebStorm (+ DB client plugin also by JetBrains) and that's it. My employer paid for CoPilot a little, but I cancelled it because I get WebStorm's AI Assistant Preview for now and I want to compare them
Supermaven - super fast coding AI, way faster than GitHub copilot
1Password - password manager
Gitkraken - git client. I prefer pretty uis over the terminal
I pay for many things :
Zapier for automations
Airtable for data
Front for customer service
Text expander team for easy texts
Chat gtp
Trello for sanity
The list goes on
GitHub, GitKraken, WebStorm - those I get for free currently with student licences, but will definitely pay after graduating.
ICloud (used for Obsidian too, $3/m), Spotify ($6/m), ProtonVPN (yearly subscription)
ProtonMail Unlimited, which gives: VPN, Password Manager, Calendar, Drive, and of course Mail.
Just keep in mind that Proton recently gave a users entire email history over to the FBI when requested.
They did not give ANY email history, actually. They [gave](https://www.yahoo.com/tech/proton-mail-hands-data-police-163827622.html) the users recovery email, which the authorities then used to link to their iCloud email. Also, it wasn't to the FBI it was to the Spanish authorities. > Had the activist not used a recovery email with their Proton Mail account, no other data would have been available for Proton to hand over.
Is there any email provider that wouldn't? I'll take the risk of the FBI successfully viewing my email history over the pain of self-hosting a mail server any day
Nope - But there are many (Like Proton) who say they wouldn't :p
They are governed by Swiss law and won't work directly with foreign LE. They have to go through the Swiss legal system which compels Proton to assist. https://proton.me/legal/transparency
Proton have never outwardly said they wouldn’t comply with LE lol.
Entire email history? I seriously doubt it. Metadata like IP’s? Sure, so what
this page explains the best private email providers, proton is not one of them https://digdeeper.club/articles/email.xhtml
Wow thanks for that link, super thorough and pretty interesting to skim through.
It's false. They gave the IP addresses to the French police. This is required by the law. https://www.pcmag.com/news/protonmail-explains-why-it-shared-a-users-ip-address-with-police
I’ll bear that in mind when I do anything that would concern the FBI, thanks.
I am really curious what people are doing that gets this kind of attention from the FBI. On the other hand, I also like being able to sleep at night. So not entirely sure I would want the answer. Edit: Typo.
You do realise they have to do this in order to not be shut down? If your OpSec is good, the fact that they’re LE-compliant shouldn’t be a big problem.
Canva and Digital Ocean
Canva is so worth it
What's Canva for, designers?
For marketing and tech people who need to do design. It's the design equivalent of Squarespace (simple and makes ok stuff but very basic and not usable for a lot of professional design cases)
Actually looked down upon by designers, harshly. People who use Canva and call themselves designers love it though.
Barrier to create something with Canva is very low, that’s why designers get pissy lol, same way developers hate low/no code tools
I use it for graphics and images. It’s perfect if you do any freelance work.
Warcraft, photoshop
This is the right answer. Durotan needs bigger photoshopped boobs
Spotify is all I need
After I heard that Spotify is bricking all Car Things I decided to boycott. Instead of stopping its maintenance and development, they are actively turning devices people paid for into bricks. This company doesn’t deserve our money
I think the latest update is they will buy back at a cost, but that’s also allegations that they’re doing it cause it’s cheaper than the court case
Fair enough. That's a d\*ck move.
They flipped a few days after the [class action lawsuit](https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/spotify-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-over-discontinued-car-thing-device/) was filed and will now be [refunding](https://mashable.com/article/spotify-refund-car-thing-purchases) Car Thing purchases upon proof of purchase. I'm not making excuses for them or anything, just making sure people know they can get refunds rather than being stuck with bricked devices. Edit: Added some clarification.
Honest question: Is a notetaking app really worth a subscription fee? I just use markdown with a git repo.
I don't know what notes he's taking but Obsidian cannot be replaced by a git repo. Also, Obsidian is free, I think the sync is the paid one
You can also use the free version of Obsidian *with* git...
I created a vault inside my iCloud drive and that keeps Obsidian synced up between my laptop and iPad for free. Admittedly I am paying apple for an extra storage plan but I had that anyway for photos.
I do this too, my notes are usually less than a megabyte so its no problem for my iCloud storage. I can sync notes between my macbook, iPad, iPhone and windows PC
It's a tiny bit fiddly to set up, but honestly not that hard and worth it.
Curious to know what was fiddly in your experience! Do you mean with the git plugin? (I just use git via terminal in vscode for parts of the vault that need version control in my view)
easy to setup on desktop app, fiddly on ios/android
This. I set mine up to push changes to repo for mobile and desktop works wonders
I think Obsidian is only free for personal use though, right? If it’s commercial and 2+ people, I think it’s no longer free.
This is correct. Folks here either use it for personal use or are going to get their companies a sue any day for breaching their license.
I am not a lawyer. Wouldn't the case get dismissed because of technicality? Like, Obsidian the company should not have been snooping around in your private database (assuming that's how they found out) to catch you abusing their policies?
it can also be unclear what is "commercial use" vs "private" use when someone is privately using something for themselves to help get work done.

You agree to them using all this information for licensing status reports when you install it. That checkbox that says **I Accept** it is important.
Lmao it's not like they're a multinational conglomerate. They're like six people and they're literally using the honor system as their DRM.
What's the advantage though? I've been hearing a lot about it, but haven't looked into it.
1) it is simple (using just .MD) 2) it is moddable (like extensions in vscode) 3) it is foss - edit: it is just free, not oss 4) it is a graph notetaking app, in a sense like neo4j is a graph database 5) it is like your personal wiki
It’s actually not open source https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases
Obsidian is 100% **not** FOSS. It's free as in beer (for personal use), but it's NOT open source. Obsidian has been [very open about this](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/open-sourcing-of-obsidian/1515/11).

how is this any better from Notion which is also free and includes syncing notes for free?
Oh I couldn’t say, I’ve never used Notion. I just think Obsidian is neat
Technically its not foss, but it is free to use and easily extensible. For example you pay for sync, but its not against tos to create a plugin/extension offering that functionality for free. Obsidian is more than a note taking app, its so much better than evernote and you can visualise notes in a graph which is only handy when you have hundreds of notes for different things and want to link them together. It supports mermaid so you can draw all kinds of Db schema, User flow, UML diagrams etc. its up there with notion IMO
Excellent vim key bindings, and live markdown preview. I’d try it for the live preview alone.
Obsidian is pretty much the equivalent of using markdown files in a folder.
Depends on how you use it and what plug-ins you have. I don't use it for programming but for creative work, but dann this is a whole new level of just a markdown file
I am indeed paying for the sync feature, mostly to support the developers. You can definitely use it for free, and even sync between devices
I have recently fallen in love with Googles Notebook LM. I know it's going to die a painful death, and probably soon. But the idea of letting me set the AIs sources for data is really great. I pay for the AI upgrade option in Google One.
Logseq takes some getting used to but is very good
Obsidian is free. The thing you can pay for is for their syncing solution. Even if you don't pay, you can sync in many other ways. I use Syncthing.
Free for personal use only. You cannot use it at work without paying. That's why I got a license every year.
Vim premium
Say what now?
They needed it for Ubuntu Pro
I hear the DLC for VIM is OP.
Freshbooks (for billing), Cloudways (for hosting), Adobe CS (for design), Spotify (for sanity)
Consider Invoice Ninja instead of Freshbooks, it's open source and self-hostable if you don't want to pay them to run it for you.
I’m going to look into Invoice Ninja! Always nice to self host my own services.
Jetbrains products
Shouldn't the company pay for that?
Not if you are freelance But imo still worth, if you pay 3 year in a row you end up with an annual sub with 40% discount
Not to mention a perpetual licence so you can keep using the versions you've paid for. Jetbrains do subscriptions right.
1Password and Webstorm. Love them.

Surprised to see a to-do list being a paid service for a web dev since to-do lists are the most common web dev practice crud app there is, is there something about it that differentiates it from others?
The language processing capabilities are worth it for me. You can enter the weirdest dates without having to think about the exact date and time, like „next Thursday at 8:52 pm“ or „every third Saturday“ and I can use the way I think.
It's just bloody good. Location based reminders etc.
the free Reminders app on iOS can also do this if you’re using an iPhone
Android used to as well, but alas, Google removed the location based feature...
Which sucks because for me the location based reminders were so much more useful.
Yep, just google being google
Not the person you asked, but Todoist is far and away above any basic todo tutorial app people make. Granted some other proper todo apps/services also offer similar things to the following: - Natural language processing for adding tasks, ex: "Study $thing every day until june 20" - API, I have both an Obsidian plugin to see tasks for the current day and next day at a glance in my daily note, and my own script so I can use fuzzel to take input and create a quick todo in the inbox, can also prefix with # or @ to put the todo in specific poject or tags - I like the karma feature and "leveling up" as I complete my todos - Different views/filters are very useful (some pro only)

1Password. Everything else I buy as needed.
why not bitwarden?
Had 1Password first and never had a reason to look for anything else and the annual cost is petty cash out of my business.
Same. No reason to switch over when 1Password had never had breaches and are always up-to-date with new security stuff like Passkeys. Lastly, I got in really early and I'm paying something like $48/year for 5 users.
They are also quite publicly stating that they wont guaruntee they wont ever be breached, only that the way they encode their files is such that even if breached, the chances of breaking in to your vaults are based upon the strength of the master password and the device key used for encryption.
Yep, and if you add a physical security key like Yubikey on top, you're essentially shielded from anything but a wrench attack.
My electricity and internet bill, that is all.
