One time, I was at a concert at a small-ish venue. I went to see a popular-ish band that I like, place was packed. The band started like 30-45 minutes late. When they finally got on stage, I happened to yell out during a brief pause, "Finally! We've been waiting forever!"

No one said anything and the show kept moving—but immediately after I yelled that the girl in front of me turned around and gave me a huge scowling look, like she was super embarrassed for me, like I had just done something really awful.

That look has stuck with me ever since.

OK! Fuggit. I'll write my own review... with blackjack.

I signed up. No credit card necessary so far, but also my account is half-activated. Someone has to manually approve me, which fine. Seems like an anti-spam measure. I'll report back more later.

Oh, wow. Didn't realize Tuta didn't work with IMAP/POP/SMTP. https://tuta.com/support/howto#imap

Not sure what they're running for email, but for the other cloud services, I think they just run Nextcloud?

As far as I know it's telemetry off and no pocket, plus container tabs. But for the most part, it's pretty similar (which I personally like).

Seems like these guys: https://nubo.coop/en/

They provide email, calendar, contacts, and cloud storage.

On their mission statement page they explicitly have:

Interesting! Has anyone tried this? Any reviews?

It offers:

  • email
  • calendar
  • contacts
  • cloud storage
  • tasks

Interesting. Interesting. I've been kinda stuck on Google Keep because I don't need a big heavy weight note taking app, but just little scraps of paper synced across different devices. Maybe Nubo tasks would be a suitable replacement!

I've had two car break-ins.

The first time, I couldn't even reach a human. The machine on the phone line told me to file a police report online. It was like, name, date, what happened, upload picture, send. Never heard anything back.

The second time, I went to the police station and—was told to file a police report online... same as last time. Nothing happened.

Interesting. I'm saving this for later.

Oh, neat! I recently switched and it's been great!

As a long time Google Docs user, I downloaded Libreoffice (again after many years) 6 months ago—and it's been great! Come on in, the waters fine!

The American dream is an all time amazing piece of propaganda that has left every American imagining that one day, through hard work, they will become the oppressor

Wow, yeah. Well put. This is why they only care about "winning".
