Agnes<p>After testing multiple alternatives, I’ve reached the conclusion that I won’t be able to fully de-<a href="https://pdx.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a>.</p><p>I moved my photos to iCloud (even though search sucks) and I might move my email to <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fastmail</span></a> (<a href="https://pdx.social/tags/StartMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StartMail</span></a> wasn’t worth the money), but there‘s nothing out there for Google Calendar + Google Maps that isn’t Apple Calendar + Apple Maps, and I hate both so I’m stuck with Google 🙃</p>
Agnes<p>I paid for an annual <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/StartMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StartMail</span></a> (by <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/Startpage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Startpage</span></a>) subscription back in January, but the experience so far has been very subpar… It’s missing both basic (e.g. displaying emails in conversation/thread format) and advanced (e.g. calendar) features 🙃</p><p>I’m happy that I can use “Add to Home Screen” instead of downloading another app, but the webmail UX is very clunky and the MFA UX is garbage (every time I open it, I have to open Bitwarden, search, then copy/paste the code). <a href="https://support.startmail.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006422158-Add-StartMail-to-your-home-screen" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">support.startmail.com/hc/en-us</span><span class="invisible">/articles/360006422158-Add-StartMail-to-your-home-screen</span></a></p>

Migration was a breeze &amp; so is adding your own email domain, if you have one.</p>
Mark Heftler<p>2025 kicks off with A Modest Divestment, a deliberate effort to reduce my reliance on US-based big tech.
