Comment below with your score. Remember, it's one point for each thing that you have NOT done on this list. Tell us which of the things you've not done as well!

My score: ZERO!

I've done everything on this list mainly due to how old I am. πŸ€ͺ

Thanks to @bkm for posting this as that's where I saw it first.

I've spent a good majority of the day moving 750GB of files out of my Google Drive over to my @protonprivacy drive.

I've quit using Google Chrome(long long time ago).
I've quit using Gmail.
I've quit using Google Drive.
I've quit using Google Keep.

The one thing that is just too damn good to quit using that Google makes is Google Photos.

While there are replacements, there's nothing that comes even remotely close to being as good as Google Photos in my opinion. Literally NOTHING!

Tell me the story behind your profile banner, such as the one you see below and on my profile.

Mine is a screenshot from my favorite video game of all time, Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, released on September 16th, 1985.

It's a game I've put thousands of hours into, both back when it was originally released and still to this very day.

After 2 - 3 weeks of trying both @protonmail and @fastmail I have decided to fully switch to Proton going forward.

With Proton you get email, ProtonPass, Proton VPN and other stuff. You also get 500GB of storage instead of the measly little 100GB of storage that Fastmail offers. Notifications on Fastmail were also VERY VERY delayed most of the time, on both Android and iOS.

Thread...(🧡)

I've had several people either private message me or ask me why I've been so absent from Mastodon over the last few weeks or so, and today, I think it's time to update all of you as to why.

When I first came to Mastodon, it was super fun, super awesome, everyone was super nice and there was little to no drama or toxicity.

For the most part, that hasn't changed, except for the drama part of it. That side, has changed DRAMATICALLY! (cont...)

When someone is trying to force their opinion down your throat and is someone who feels you HAVE TO HAVE the same opinion as them or you are wrong, is the type of person you need to block immediately.

I absolutely hate when people are like that. It's one thing to have a conversation and for everyone to share opinions, but geez, get a grip on how to talk to people.

Yes, that person has now been blocked. Something I should have done weeks and weeks ago.

Good morning and happy Saturday!

It's the weekend so let's all comment below with our weekend plans and what we're all going to do.

For me, I'll be having lunch with my cousin and her two daughters and my wife. My cousin and I haven't seen each other since Thanksgiving, so that will be nice.

The rest of the day will likely just be relaxing and laying on the new couch to catch up on some TV shows we're behind on.

With yesterday's announcement that Meta is starting to test Threads and ActivityPub integration, I see the is at an all time high again of whining and crying and being butthurt over it all.

I get stating your opinion about not wanting them here or whatever, but come on people, don't sound like a little 2 year old who lost their pacifier. It gets old, quick.

Just mute/block and move on and be done with it all. It's really that damn simple.

What's the weather like in your part of the world right now?

As you see here, it's 29F currently. It was 24F when I woke up around 5am EST this morning.

How's the weather in your part of the world right now?

As you see here, it's 15F/-9C currently here in Winston Salem, NC.

The wife is staying inside all bundled up. I was outside for a bit earlier as I went for a short walk to enjoy the cold. It's not too windy outside so that makes a difference.
