Debian 9 vs Ubuntu 18

2018-09-03 Thread Jim
I've been using Kubuntu for 5 years now since I freed my computer from 
windows and started running linux.  For most of that time I used Kubuntu 
14.  I tried 16, but soon gave up on it because there were too many 
bugs.  In July I put Kubuntu 18 on this machine. There are some annoying 
bugs with it, but nothing that keeps me from using it.


I saw on here recently that someone said they use the stable branch of 
Debian.  I'm looking for some advice.  Should I stay with Kubuntu or 
switch to Debian 9 stable?  If you have an opinion, please tell why you 
favor one over the other.


Thanks

Any way to keep my non-Google email contacts from Google?

2018-09-03 Thread Victor Odhner
I use Google for the calendar, but make only occasional use of GMail.

I have this little game of seeing how much I can avoid handing over to Google.
So on my old phone, I only synchronized my calendar items with Google.
I avoided synching everything else, there was no need.

That was in the not-evil days: now it seems to be sync all or nothing.

Q: If I’m using a different mail client for non-Google email, will a sync with 
Google slurp up all my contacts anyway?

I’m not about to replace my OS, but just curious:
  Are there versions of Android that don’t feed the Beast?

Thanks,
Victor
