Playing via Proton is absolutely fine! It's what is recommended actually!

Duh

Thanks

I've not heard of ironfox before this thread! Could you possibly link it? Doesn't seem like it's on FDroid or IzzyOnDroid

Yes! I've found Goguma to be a client that fits my simple needs. Should be able to easily find it on FDroid. Or Izzy's repo if it isn't in base FDroid, I forget which it's in.

Is working fine for me, using Eternity

HeliBoard is a good foss option that has autocorrect and stuff! You can also give it swipe typing by supplying your own proprietary blob, so that's neat. Better than using a non-foss keyboard!

I was under the same impression, but it might just be that storms are getting more intense, and therefore we remember more of them in recent times.

If you absolutely need functionality of some Windows only applications on Linux, it's a bit clunky, but a solution exists to use a VM to integrate the Windows apps into your Linux environment. It's called winapps, and I use it to run the latest version of Excel, which I do need for some things. Here's their GitHub: https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps

QUIK is a more up-to-date version of QKSMS. Not the most important thing ever, since SMS/MMS are inherently insecure, but it's just good to always make sure you have up-to-date versions of things.

It depends on what exactly you're looking for in a messenger. If you are able to get people onto a specific platform, go with something like Signal, that's your best case scenario.

If you're unable to do that though, and need SMS/MMS, you have options. QUIK is an app I highly recommend for SMS and MMS. The big downside, however, is that RCS is seemingly exclusive to Google Messenger on Android. If you want to use RCS, you're kind of stuck unfortunately.

To minimize needing to use it, you could buy an old iPhone, jailbreak it, and try and set up Beeper Mini on an android device. That's what I do at least, which helps quite a bit. It's finicky and just not perfect, but it's better than just using SMS/MMS.

Hopefully this comment covers your use case and you're able to get some useful info out of it.

The small text renders fine for me on Eternity for Lemmy
