Yeah, I’m done. I kept Epic Games around for the occasional cool free game drop, but I just deleted my account. There are better ways to get a game every once in a while.

I hope it’s more thoughtful.

Literally 100% effective birth control.

Lol, how? Just use LibreOffice.

I feel ya. Patient gamers save a lot of money!

Tuta Mail and PixelUnion!

One thing is way fewer people dying of climate-related causes and natural disasters than ever before.

This is valid, but just remember there are limitations. I personally use Tuta.

Part of it, I’m sure, is that Thomas has babyface. Part of it, too, is that people don’t smoke cigarettes, or drink as much as they used to, or generally live as hard of lives. Living through the 2000s, for example, isn’t really as complicated perhaps, or troubling, as living through the Great Depression and World War II and the Cold War.

Email does not matter as much as people think it does. People like to suggest that others should switch to Proton or Tuta. There are some benefits to doing that. For example, Proton and Tuta are zero knowledge encrypted. Tuta is completely powered by renewables, and it supports contacts integration on Android.

However, some people say that those services give you real email privacy. They don’t. Proton uses the same protocol that everyone else is using. Tuta sort of does their own thing, but it is interoperable with all email services. Unless you are emailing people within the same service, it is not end to end encrypted. You could use PGP. I think most people would not open your email or respond to you, though.

In my mind, email is old school and a fairly low priority for privacy enthusiasts. You are welcome to switch to those services. And like I said, there are some benefits. If you think, however, that using those services is going to give you real email privacy, you are unfortunately mistaken.
