According to the Google Play Store, there are 467 reviews (4.8 stars) but "0+" downloads. Like everything else about the White House, it doesn't add up.
And maybe most people know to keep it off their phones.
Is this only for people using Garmen Connect or something else?
Sigh. Yeah, that's not right to get banned for having a different opinion than a moderator.
You really were banned on other instances for saying marijuana use should be strictly regulated?
You are asking a reasonable question that many ask.
Each account will be a unique and separate account on each instance. Instances do not share accounts.
Although you can, on some applications, authenticate with a federated account, like Google or even a Mastodon account, you still will have an entirely different account on the server.
Wine requires Linux knowledge to get the configurations correct. I don't think many Windows users will be able to get any Windows applications running under Wine. And it's the same Wine that any Linux user can install for free.
If Zorin came packaged with Crossover, then maybe it would run Windows apps better because Crossover would manage the Wine configurations and the required Windows infrastructure installs.
Maybe.
But not many old machines will have the capacity to run Linux, Wine, and a Windows application. But Zorin's hype leads one to believe that a 15-year-old machine won't struggle.
I tried it about a month ago and found it had nothing more than what you get with an Ubuntu install, save for the look of the screen. I couldn't understand why the media was making a big deal about it. And I saw no reason why anyone should pay for Pro. My conclusions matched what is in the article.
I knew someone was going to bring this up. So read this:
Small piece from the article:
Under Yen’s leadership, Proton donates a sizeable amount of cash, and the benefactors are easy to find since non-profits must disclose donations. In total, I’ve identified over 30 organizations that received grants from Proton, and you can find a partial list here. Interestingly, they also made a few donations not publicized on that page (one was to a Hong Kong democracy org, which might explain why it was hidden).
Findings:
Not a single organization has ties to Republicans or conservatives.
Many of them are known to be liberal, for example, Access Now and Fight for the Future in the US.
There were at least 10 that also received funding from Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
In my research, I discovered that under Andy’s leadership, Proton has a giving pattern similar to George Soros, one of the Democratic Party’s mega-donors.
Also, look who's getting the next round of financing from Proton: https://proton.me/blog/2025-lifetime-account-charity-fundraiser
He's not a tankie. He's very liberal. There's no evidence he ever supported Republicans, let alone Trump.
Another reason to use a VPN
This is definitely the best protection. If the provider drops you, you move your domain to another provider. But, as far as I know, while almost all email providers will host your personal domain, none that I know of will do it on the free plans. But your email is your identity. You should be willing to pay for it, especially if you host it on a provider that otherwise won't make any money on you.
There are a couple of downsides. If you forget, or are unable, to renew your domain, you lose it and your emails. Make sure another family member or friend can pay the renewal for you if, for some reason, you cannot.
While your own domain makes it far less likely that your email will be canceled (because you can move it), abuse of your domain can result in your losing your domain name and your email, especially before it has earned a reputation.
Which brings up another IMPORTANT point. If you use your own domain name, then you must set up your DNS records to protect your domain from spoofers and spammers so it doesn't get blacklisted or, worse, doesn't cause cancellation of your domain name. Scammers and spammers WILL try to send email using your domain name. You need to tell email clients to toss these rogue emails and give them the means to determine spoofing and unauthorized use.

Also, be aware that SpamAssassin considers .com, .net, and .org TLDs to be far safer than .world, .online, .blog, and most others. Using one of these newer TLDs results in a higher spam score, and your email is more likely to end up in the spam folder if it reaches the magic score of 5. A new age TLD can add as much as 1 point to the spam calculation depending on the email provider receiving your email.
So your own domain name is safer but costs money and requires more work.
