I had a lot of Gmail addresses for every possible job and reason. I cutted them down to two email accounts. I tried proton.me, tutamail.com - proton being official and tuta casual, subscription email. I liked tuta but didn't like proton. I replaced proton with mailbox.org paid plan and I have been very pleased with it. So 2 German provider, Tuta and mailbox. I ll keep my main Gmail rolling in my burner phone for 2 months so transition period is more merciful.

Nice ! To me Microsoft was easy. Google was huge job, because Gmail address was in every possible places. META was easy but influenced maybe the most to my everyday life. I feared that not everything would work with European custom rom android, but /e/OS was extremely positive surprise. Banks and traffic apps work just fine and smoothly.

I buy local Cola and NRJ drinks for my kids ;) No Pepsi or Monster.

"Brussels and Washington have been joining forces for years to tame the technology giant’s global ambitions, using digital diplomacy tools to convince third countries to ditch equipment from the Shenzhen-based firm."

Well, Silicon Valley based has started to look a lot like Shenzhen based to me lately. And no it is not just Trump (like as it is not Putin).

Sorry. It's a bit offtopic but in the same mission. /e/ is French AOSP fork, which cuts off Google from my phone. Google, Microsoft and META are the biggest root of evil in privacy world, META being worst.

Funny how much longer my phone's battery lasts now after I flashed /e/ to it. No constant net traffic anymore.

I didn't have a Pentium processor in my computer, the internet was young, information wasn't as ready or available, and the mindset wasn't that you could check everything. I don't remember how many floppy disks it took to install Slackware, but at least one read error was definitely on the way. I had a 56k modem at home, so I had printed out the installation instructions from work. Compiling everything wasn't a problem, because I learned to code back in 1983. When I tried to figure out the refresh rate of my screen, I was afraid I would blow it up and go blind. The feeling of freedom was when you were the one who could choose everything for the first time in your virtual life.

Yes I know. And Finns are not easily changing their ways. So 64 x F35 it is then.
