The issue isn’t even which app you read email with anyway; Google is actually modifying your raw email content to embed links within tracking urls. They do it to calendar links as well, and they’ve been doing this for at least a few years now.

Same. That snap-by-default issue (last year?) pushed me from kubuntu to pure Debian and I haven’t looked back. Technically you can just remove snaps from Ubuntu to get around it, but it’s an incorrect assumption that users want that forced down their throats when upgrading in place. Left a bad taste - Debian is my goto stable OS now.

Sorry; no idea. I’m not affiliated with them. I found them organically (almost certainly from an open source community here on lemmy) and I just think it’s a really cool project and business model worth supporting.

I can’t speak to long-term reliability, but this open source design is designed to be repairable: https://ploopy.co/mouse/
