I'd rather those were opt-in anyway. Just have a box you can tick for "cultural awareness events" or something.
I mean okay to choice, but why do you care on this? Who gives a shit? As long as they aren't adding national donut day and frivolous shit shit like that.

Starting to makes sense. All this anti American crap was happening last time he was president too. I thought the world was going mad, but he was pushing. It was him the whole time.

Holy fuck! Welp, today's the day, I've been a heavy Google user since they became a company basically. Starting to unwind all that TODAY.
Good luck. I'm also on that process. Just changing email provider is enough work with over 300 accounts using my Gmail address. Don't give up, but be aware it's a lot of work.

They also changed gulf of Mexico officially to gulf of America in Maps
How dumb. Seriously how fucking dumb do you have to be to go along with something that is so juvenile and stupid. Everything about it is dumb.
They've done this for every disputed area around the world for a long time. Depending on where you're logging in from you'll see a different locale.
I see "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" in Canada which is fucking stupid. Nobody outside of the US recognises "Gulf of America"
Just checked, same in Norway. Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)
Basically nobody in the US recognizes Gulf of America either.
I mean, most people could probably figure it out by deduction, but nobody is going to point right to it on a map.

What's everyone using for email in a post Google world?
Tutamail. Actually great company values. Company works more like a coop. Diversity and inclusion is part of its message. Encryption is paramount.
Selfhosting. (But I recognize that that is not an option for everyone.)
I've been running my own email for 25 years and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. 😔
Fair TBH. It is such a critical service to keep working.
But it does feel pretty amazing to free yourself of the whims of a provider 😅 I assume that's why you have not gone back either? ^^

I want to do this. Do you know of any good VPS provider in a privacy-respecting jurisdiction that allows this?
I'm using Hetzner in Germany. Need to message them to say you want the relevant ports opened (spam protection measures), happens within an hour usually.
I quite like their service, but of course use full disk encryption etc
Addy.io + Posteo
Tuta and Mailbox
Fastmail
posteo
Proton mail is pretty good. And they have a trustworthy VPN service.
Update: I officially rescind my statement. Do not use Proton.
Fuck proton, get off proton.
Are there any alternatives with similar features?
Tutanota & fastmail get reccomended often lately (i still need to check them out) Posteo is good too but they have only paid options (1€+)

Yeah I'm de-googling, fuck this
~~Don’t~~ be evil.
Wow, that’s not suspicious at all.
Foogle
For fucks sake
I’m so glad I’ve been de-googlifying these past few years. All that’s left is an Adblocked YT and a Gmail account I mostly use to sign up for random shit.
Any tips or suggestions?
Regarding YouTube, the only real options you have are Peertube (which has little content and a discovery problem) or Odysee (which is fine as long as you don’t look at the comments)
As for E-Mail, due to the recent proton situation the only real option (unless you don’t care about that) is self hosting

I am not fully degoogled by any means (it is really hard when family uses and relies on Google products), but you can always start with your own domain and a private (paid) email service (like fastmail or proton). It's an easy step to take for yourself (but getting everyone you know to start using the new one takes time).
I have a Synology NAS I use for storage, photos, and media. It's easy mode storage l, and comes with a lot of apps you can install to replace ones you might use from Google/apple.
Unfortunately proton is no longer a company I trust either. It’s getting harder and harder to find a safe haven…
