Last month I switched from Google Workspace to proton.me for hosting email for my domains.
It went smoothly, but if you're considering it, here's some things I wish I'd known when I was starting to move my old email.

Everytime someone asks me to "please leave a #Google review" at this guesthouse/restaurant/etc, when I say "Sorry, I don't have a Google account" they seem so flabbergasted that they don't know how to respond.

Google Safe Browsing has started blocking websites using #Mailcow for self-hosting email. Google calls them dangerous, and they're right: dangerous to their data-driven business model.
Yet most people still use #Google services. They talk about privacy, even attend

The image shows a warning page in Google Chrome with a red background and a white cross icon. It alerts users that the website is dangerous and may try to trick them into installing software or sharing sensitive information such as passwords, phone numbers, or credit card details. There are buttons labeled "Details" and "Back to safe website," as well as a link for more information about the warning.
The image shows a Google Search Console alert about a website security issue. It reports that harmful or misleading content was found on the site, which could trick users into unsafe actions, such as installing unwanted software or revealing personal data. The interface offers a button to request a review after fixing the problem.

LLM-guided development is making #autobahn truly great. Now it decided to arbitrarily start "vendoring" flatbuffers. Except that by "vendoring", they actually mean installing their own top-level `flatbuffers` package as part of `autobahn` (and therefore overwriting the original `flatbuffers`). I wonder how #Google feels about that…

This is bizarre - I made a typo and accidentally ran a #Google search for a comma. Not the word, the punctuation mark.
And yet, somehow, Google thinks that is:
1. A valid enough search to be showing a bazillion results
2. A search that needs short-form vertical videos at the top from a bunch of white women (who are they? Why them? What in the world is relevant to a singular punctuation mark that makes them pull up these videos?)
3. A search with enough inferred intent to show me a whole Q&A interface?
I know we complain about the state of #search online a lot these days and I've been part of the #SEO industry for years but something like this is so blatantly ridiculous it's hard not to stop and wonder.... what the actual fuck?

Content warning: privacy laws, back doors & remote bricking risks

Good points well made by @…:
"It's well past time for a post-American internet. Every device and every service should be designed so that the people who use them have the final say over how they work. Manufacturers' back doors and digital locks that prevent us from updating our devices with software of our choosing were never a good idea. Today, they're a catastrophe. ...
"For the rest of the world to escape dictators' demands, they will have to accelerate their independence from American tech – not just Russian gas. A post-American internet starts with abandoning the laws that give US companies – and therefore Trump – a veto over how your technology works."
