Even if you self-host, other people's mailservers still interact with it, unless you only chat with other users you host. And some of the big webmails variously get really pernickity about your DNS, DKIM and more, or they deploy some pretty obnoxious countermeasures against your server with little explanation. So I'd say it's more often both than not, no matter what you do. If you think it's not being a pain, there's probably an unpleasant surprise in your server logs or coming soon!

It's still often worth self-hosting, but that's more big webmail really sucks, even ISPs often don't set their mailservers up well and it's often an early casualty of ISP managers looking for costs to cut.

Any browsers except the minimal servoshell yet?

Is it faster to start up? Is it less snoopy? Are these in some FAQ I missed?

I suspect people disliked both of the approaches you suggested, or thought it was a false dilemma fallacy, but downvotes rarely come with explanations.

Contact your local MEP. Ask your local MP or Deputy or whatever you call them to push the relevant minister to oppose it. It's not great, but you do have a say.

Article rests on one expert. That assistant professor's publication list doesn't seem to contain evidence about it, plus the quotes in the article don't directly say it happens.

Maybe it does, but that article only seems to be guessing based on (admittedly reasonable) theory.

Got proof? I've not cracked open a phone for a while to see if the component labelling matches the interface, let alone tested capacity of an extracted battery directly.

Why not serif body copy? (looks at most newspapers and books)

Some good observations and some software suggestions, but I don't think all of them are good. I hate Anubis when I'm using an assisted accessible browser (that it locks out, always saying a solution is coming but it never has, which I'm pretty sure is illegal discrimination in some situations) and they really ought not recommend Proton without mentioning its chief supporting Trump and helping French police track climate activists.

Other tips, including Lemmy, are better.

They've been owned!

Digital ownership? Games producers want to own players' fingers now? I guess that's slightly better than cutting their ears off.

De-googled phones exist, but they’re rooted or using a custom firmware. Usually, these phones spoof Google Play Services, replacing that layer with something called MicroG.

So root and flash your phone today!
