Advice my parents to use outlook. They were using an ISP email service which we had to get rid of. I wasn’t sure if tutanota was ready for them yet and they already were a bit familiar with outlook. It was a bit of a trade off back then.

“Your info won’t be used for ads”. Does that also mean that they won’t collect any info about you? Theoretically, they don’t have any reason to collect data anymore because you pay them.

You also have IPFS. Is that what you mean? It is slowly becoming better and better.

They main problem I have with this is that we don’t have a decent alternative for youtube yet. The main reason I don’t want to pay for youtube is because it is Google. With YT premium you don’t buy privacy (logically you would say with removing ads you also remove the need to track people).

I use an rss reader to follow like 50 websites. The main news sites are arstechnica, the verge, IGN, Polygon and many snaller websites that post less than once a week

And I suppose it is fine that not everybody interacts. They still do something with that knowledge only not publicly. Imagine if those 99% also start interacting. I suppose a community will become messy and people will stop interacting at the end because they don’t feel heard because some people overshadow then with their voice.

“The act of following another account is impersonal and one-sided. Building meaningful relationships with other people is second to amassing an audience.”

This is an interesting statement. While building two-sided relations is indeed very important, it often also is the case that i follow people because they post for example interesting content i want to follow. That person just cant follow everybody back but still provide meaningfull information to lots of people.

That is nice. I never used firefox long enough to find these detailed settings. it is a shame there user share declined so much. It is good to have another browser engine around

Chrome is way overrated, just like edge (a little less) in my opinion. They focus heavily on speed and not on actually giving a unique browsing experience. They dont help you browse the internet efficiently and organized like browsers like Vivaldi do. The appearence of these browsers (and firefox to) stayed quite similar over time. There are better browsers, people just follow the masses and dont even try out new onces.
