I have a monochrome brother laser/fax that is old af. I don't mess with color because like you said if I want photos printed I'm going to get the big-boy printer at the store to do it.

When I first got to Reddit a front page post was like 1000 upvotes so Lemmy is approximately sorta the same level of users as when I first got to Reddit

I hope the fediverse attracts enough adoption to make it long term viable. I am making an effort to be here more than there for lemmy/Reddit but YouTube is still harder to quit

I happily pay for my email service from Proton to compensate for all the data mining they AREN'T doing to me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Protonmail is fine for searching old emails and they have their own calendar integration. I self host calDAV for my own calendar so I cannot comment on protonmail's other cloud services but I'm happy enough with their email service that I subscribe yearly for it.

That's the downside of not getting data mined, you need to pay for these services. Setting up a private cloud is not impossible for a derp like me but a private email server is definitely well beyond my skillset so that's something I pay for.

I've had like three primary email accounts since the dawn of the popular internet in the 90's

The first was Hotmail because that was a big deal at the time.

The second was google because the interface was slick and it came with (what was at the time) a lot of free storage.

The third is protonmail specifically because after decade+ on Google I realized they pretty much have the keys to the kingdom on my life's data. All my personal relationships and business being filtered through their inbox for a long-ass time. Just because they "know me" inside out for a significant part of my life doesn't mean I gotta just keep feeding them data indefinitely.

Some try-hard wants to reinvent the wheel to show what a cutting-edge "disruptor" they can be, but they only succeed in making a shittier version of an already extant product

Personally I would enjoy spending $100k+ to get to be the beta tester for a half-baked product
