I’m just over here wanting a “just the fucking email I signed up for” option, or an “opt out of additional bullshit you didn’t ask for” button. Heck, throw in a "disallow any APIs for “AI” permanently button.

Know how to tell someone is a Vegan?
They’ll tell you. Immediately, and never, ever shut up about it. Ever.
Chrome is a stupid name too. Edge is a stupid name.
What, because of the stupid name?
If you’re not a fan of Firefox right now, with the few odd decisions they’ve been making, try Floorp or Zen. They’re quite good forks of Firefox and don’t seem to have any of the recent Firefox oddness in them.
Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, etc- none of these existed when I signed up but here they are. If anything I’d rather opt out of all the extra stuff for a discounted rate, but that’ll never happen.
De-Googling is great, keep at that.
That said, Totally investing in a single other provider may not be the answer.
Already have a different provider, so no.
Signed up for decent encrypted email and now I feel like Proton’s only goal is to shove so much extra shit down my throat that they’ll choke me to death- and apparently I’m the only subscriber completely uninterested in any of it.
Aaaaaaand (deep breath)
Bullshit
Pretty unlikely they’re doing anything other than BTLE (bluetooth low energy) and mobile device tracking, like absolutely all other “tag” trackers. Anything else would require enormous batteries in the tags.
If you told me 10 years ago that people would be falling over themselves to PAY to build Orwellian tracking network on behalf of corporations for no reason at all I’d have called you completely insane.
That’s more of a you problem.
give up gaming
What? Most games run better on Linux
I just want Microsoft gone.
So all that effort to spare 1 watt of “suspend” power? Running home assistant all day long probably burns 500x that power.
I have to be missing some detail because that sounds absolutely insane in my head.
Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life “hacking” with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.
Takes deep breath
MmmmmmBULLSHIII
That switches you to a phone app platform that hides the ads but records everything about you from your telemetry and sells it.
I may look in to that.
