cannot believe it is occurring to people that #DOGE IS NOT ABOUT EFFICIENCY BUT #SURVEILLANCE. just like #creditCards #Paypal #Uber #Tesla #Doordash #Amazon #Netflix #GMail #Instagram and every fin/techbro business.

the apartheid clown’s #malware is a ruse to give techbros the power to spy on all Americans.

these are the consequences of your silence while many of your friends & relations vilified us for saying, DEFUND THE POLICE. we didn’t just mean PDs. we meant the whole police state.

I sent my first #email msg through #gmail on Sep 13, 2004. We're more than 20 years later now and it's time to move on.
I registered my own domain this time and I'm looking at alternatives like @fastmail , @Tutanota , @protonprivacy, and @mailfence .
It's good to see that they all have mastodon accounts, although not all of them seem active anymore?
If anyone has another good suggestion then please let me know!

I've been moving my important email off #Gmail to #Tuta since late last year.

Visible benefits are less spam, but the intangible benefits of knowing Google no longer knows when I get paid, when my credit score has changed, when my payments are due, or who I've just opened an account with, and isn't selling that data on are what makes it worthwhile.

It's also a great way to remind you to #unsubscribe from all the things.

En 5e, le prof de techno nous a demandé d'allumer les ordinateurs 🖥️ et de créer des adresses gmail 🇺🇸 (en mentant sur notre âge, en plus 🤣).

Gmail, c'est pratique. C'est la solution de facilité. Sauf que j'en ai eu marre de gmail, il y a cinq ans, et je suis passée à Tutanota 🇩🇪.

Avantages :
⏩ européen
⏩ crypté
⏩ la version gratuite est 👍

Désavantage :
⏩ il faut toujours l'épeler 😅, parce que les gens ne connaissent pas

just set up #betterbird with #gmail at work and man was the documentation lacking. #google seems quite passive aggressive to the use of third party software for accessing their services.

yes yes, I know, Google bad blah blah. I have no control over what my employer provides to me. just venting.

Con i miei tempi, con le mie disponibilità e con la mia capacità/voglia sto abbandonando i servizi online per riprendere in mano la situazione.

Ho creato un account email sull'hosting del mio sito e man mano andrò sostituendo l'email di #gmail nei vari account.

Cancellato account #Feedly e l'ho sostituito con l'app #News di #Nextcloud su mio #cloud.

Cancellato account #Podurama per ascoltare anche i podcast con Nextcloud.

Ho messo su #Navidrome e eliminerò #Spotify entro la fine dell'anno.

heise online · Heimliche Browser-Überwachung von Schulkindern? Google verklagtBy Daniel AJ Sokolov

Si usas #GMail y te has enterado de su última afirmación de introducir un verdadero #cifrado de extremo a extremo: es mentira.

Google tiene el control y/o no puedes hacer nada en contra de que Google tome el control en cualquier momento.

El #E2EE real funciona de otra manera: sólo el emisor y el receptor pueden acceder al contenido protegido.

#Meta también definió el E2EE de tal manera que el mensaje se cifra desde el emisor hasta ellos, se procesa en texto claro y se vuelve a cifrar para la transmisión al receptor.

No dejes que te engañen con afirmaciones falsas y definiciones erróneas.
