…I’m tired, boss.

    Sorry you’re having to worry about this.

    For what it is worth, I think you’re still better off at Proton (where their AI idiocy could leak your private information) than at Gmail (where their user agreements seem to indicate they proactively sell it.)

      Yeah, and mine just got renewed for a year a couple of months ago so I’m gonna stick with it for the time being, hoping they listen to their paying customers while exploring the self hosting options but I really am not sure that’s for me. I managed to do a lot of privacy related improvements in my digital life by just following github instructions blindly and such, but I think self hosting for email is the step that really goes above my pay grade. I tried doing jellyfin and high seas to stop paying for ellison’s hbo but it didn’t work out well and I’m back to paying for it begrudgingly. Ugh.

        I hear that.

        I’ve taken multiple runs at most of my digital freedoms.

        I figure I can always take another run at whatever continues to bother me, given time.

        And remember, you’re already protecting yourself better than most people manage.
