Proton said the Standard Notes app, which is available for both mobile and desktop, will remain “open source, freely available and fully supported”.

It also suggested that there will be no change to Standard Notes’ prices; its press release specifies that existing five-year subscriptions “will continue to be honored.”

“Standard Notes will remain an independent product and in due course both companies will open access to their products to each others’ users,” Proton added.

Dear Skiff Community,

We are excited to share that Skiff is joining Notion.

Skiff's mission is to bring freedom to the internet by helping people collaborate and communicate with freedom and privacy. We see a deep alignment with Notion’s vision to build a connected workspace and enable everyone to build tools that reflect their values.

We’re extremely excited to accelerate our mission by joining forces with Notion’s world-class team. We sincerely hope that the Skiff community will join us for this next stage of our journey. We’re pursuing big plans for making all of our online lives freer and more empowered, and these plans will carry forward directly the ambitions we’ve strived for alongside the Skiff community.

As we begin to shift focus to our shared efforts with Notion, we will be closing down Skiff's product suite after a 6-month sunset period We are deeply appreciative of the trust users have extended to us, and we are committed to honoring that trust by ensuring that all data on Skiff is easily exportable. For the next 6 months, Skiff services will continue to operate without disruption, and users can freely duplicate, migrate, or export data. You can now also set up a forwarding address to redirect mail to any other provider.

Our commitment to privacy and security is unchanged. All user data remains end-to-end encrypted, and Skiff products will never monetize your data. Accounts and data on Skiff will not be converted into Notion accounts.

We encourage you to export your data and migrate custom domains within the next 6 months. We’ve prepared this guide to make that process as easy as possible. For any other questions, our support team is readily available via the in-app “Send feedback” option or at support@skiff.org.

The Skiff community has lifted, inspired, and energized us at every step. We are humbled by your support and we apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this change may cause you. We remain as committed as ever to bringing about the vision for a better internet that brought us together. Thank you for being part of the Skiff family, and we look forward to continuing to serve you with our future efforts.

Sincerely, Skiff Team

Personally, I wouldn't mind if Beehaw changes forum software. I first came here to check out Lemmy on what looked like a safe instance, yes, but I stayed because I appreciated the calm community. I stopped participating when the Reddit migration happened, however, and Beehaw got more attention than before from other instances, and posters who don't appreciate Beehaw's policies. TBF however, recently I've gotten into more traditional forums, so perhaps I'm biased. But I believe that Beehaw is more than a Lemmy instance.

Hello! I noticed that the original Mastodon discovery thread got deleted, so I decided to create another one.

I'll start. I'm @darylsun@social.lol, and my interests include open-source software, shounen anime, cozy videogames, and writing.

In the replies, please include your Mastodon handle(s) and any interests. Thank you!

I got my laptop back from the repair shop. They said I really needed to replace the internal keyboard and touchpad components, but I just disabled them and stuck on an external keyboard and mouse.

Then I played Sims 4 for about four hours. Fun!

Cozy endless games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, or Sims 4, where I can just get lost in the gameplay and don't have to stress out over objectives or missions.

I like being ace. It does suck that in my home country, most people think that asexuality doesn't exist.

A friend of mine asked me to take a Kinsey scale quiz for fun, and the result was that I was asexual. Then my friend said that didn't seem right, so I retook it and it said I was bisexual.

It ws only when I met my boyfriend and developed feelings for him that I figured out: A) I think people are sexy, regardless of gender (hence my initial confused identification as bisexual); and B) I don't need or want to have sexual intimacy with anyone, ever. Physical intimacy is fine, though.

Oh... the wording confused me. Whoops!

I don't think lemmy.one is deferated from Beehaw; I'm subscribed to one community there.

1st edit: I forgot this community isn't on Beehaw.

2nd edit: Here's a link of all the instances that Beehaw is federated with, and lemmy.one is one of them. sopuli.xyz and feddit.de too.

3rd edit: Apparently, I'm Jared, 19, and I cannot read. Sorry about that!

TL;DR: an app won't solve your problem, but learning to organize yourself will

At the risk of overstepping, I'll say this:

If you have a problem with organization (or lack thereof), a calendar app will only help you so far. You can still miss an appointment by swiping away a notification or neglecting to jot down the appointment in the first place. Software are just tools: they won't magically transform you and your habits.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a productivity expert or anything; I'm just applying what I've learned so far in life.)

First, think about your current internal system of keeping track of things. How is information getting lost? Why is it getting lost. From what I've read, disorganization is just a symptom of a deeper, underlying issue. In my case, I just didn't like thinking about things I didn't want to do or didn't consider important, so I didn't bother noting them down. So how did I remedy that? I have a notetaking app (Simple Notes or Markor) that's empty by default and placed in my phone favorites bar/dock. As soon as I need to jot down something, it goes there. Once I can take my time, I review what I've jotted down and decide my next steps. When the tasks are done, the app gets cleared.

Second, think about what has worked for you in the past. Are there things that you managed to remember, and what helped you remember them back then? Personally, I remember things when I see them often, so writing down tasks in my notetaking app already works. However, for things that have set or faraway schedules, they get moved to apps with persistent notifications (Tasks.org and Simple Calendar, synced with EteSync).

Third... rinse and repeat. You may find that your new system still has gaps. That's just part of learning how you best organize. Don't be afraid to experiment, but don't forget, and I cannot stress this enough, that SOFTWARE ARE JUST TOOLS. If an app doesn't work for you, then it just doesn't fit you, period. It's not a failing of the developer or you. Once you find an organization system works for you, you'll find that it's so natural that it's just second-nature. What apps to use will come after.

I'm sorry for the long comment and that this wasn't what was asked, but I felt that this needed to be said. I do hope it helps you in some way.

Ace! I think people are hot, but I don't want to do the nasty with any of them.

Oh wow, I haven't heard about Sandboxie in a long while. I tried using it years ago, but I didn't understand the documentation and gave up. Maybe I should try it out again sometime.

I personally like flatpaks, but sometimes even with Flatseal it's hard to figure out which permissions are needed for things to work. (For example, I tried making flatpak Calibre open PDFs using another flatpak program, but I never got that working.)
