I recently discovered Monocles.eu, they are a privacy respecting email, chat (Matrix?), drive (Nextcloud?), social (Mastodon) and translator platform. I'm still forming my opinion, but they look good. In France, there's also the Chatons who propose local alternative hosting of many common services, such as Nextcloud, Mastodon, Matrix, Mattermost, VaultWarden, etc.

I recently made a cabbage, carrot curry that came out very well. Sorry, I don't have a recipe, but just used some curry paste and yogurt and it was yummy.

I've been using LineageOS for a couple of years on a Xiaomi Mix 2. I once had a playback error with Deezer (French Spotify competition), which was fixed rather quickly. The team was reactive and had great communication about it. There are regular updates and everything works great.

Clojure could be fascinating for you to learn. It is a different type of language from more common industry standards, but it still has a good adoption and is used by many companies. Clojure for the Brave and True is commonly recommended as a starting point. The Land of Lisp is excellent as well.

It works as well as the other corporate offerings. It does depend a bit on who's hosting it.
