I have a whole collection of to-do lists! One for every conceivable situation. The only lists that ever get checked off are grocery lists, and even then I get home and realise I’ve forgotten something.

Damn, I used to like their crunch corners.

I loved my MiniDisc player, I wish Sony had opened up the tech.

Yeah I saw that, pretty shitty. I also didn’t even realise they had a US division, given how they tout themselves as an Australian company.

I’ll mention I went to Fastmail (mainly because they’re an Aus company as well as the privacy stuff), so far so good.

Doesn’t sound like it

Your prompt — that is, the email you’re writing — is kept in plain text on their server

Besides, I just don’t want AI in general, is that too much to ask? I wonder how long it will be until there are companies actively promoting their lack of AI.

I went to Proton for the explicit reason I didn’t want Google scanning all my docs. Glad I moved away from them now, hopefully Fastmail doesn’t do the same.

Not the whole country but Mallorca and the Canary Islands had similar protests. I do wonder how the south coast feels about all the Brits going there.

I degoogled to Proton mail initially. I didn’t like that I couldn’t search my emails (a security thing or something? But annoying) and then their Drive was absolutely useless on macos. I had about 100gb and it couldn’t sync even half of it.

After much help from support I eventually moved away to a combo of Fastmail, Mega and OnlyOffice.

Same with Australia. Seems a bit disingenuous to say it’s banned, it’s a government worker policy.
