Protonmail. ..and I don't trust them either. The alternative is snail mail, and I like it still :thumbsup:

Someone actually stopped, chuckled and asked "do people still use that thing?", as I was dropping letter in a mailbox. A quick ":elephant: off" ended that conversation.

Well, it works, doesn't it? I still seal some letters with that red stuff that one melts, and I press a my ring in it. It may be low tech, but it works, and no one ever sent me an Ad based on whats' in there. Sometimes the seal is broken in modern mail, but never enough to open the envelope. Of course you're not supposed to do that, but it works.

I'd say that it works for sending, but not for receiving. When I write (that would be 'wrote') a letter to a friend an they answer by returning (that would be 'returned') a phone call, and today you have no response at all but when you meet them, they might (if they still remember you) ask 'Why are you not on FaceBook? It is impossible to reach you! ... Well, then I am not sure that I would agree to 'It works'.

From CP newsletter. Following article is odd. I didn't bother reading most of it because the initial part seems just silly. Warning: New Outlook sends passwords, mails and other data to Microsoft | mailbox.org[^] Following is from the top.... "Microsoft gets full access to mails, calendars and contacts!" Anyone that knows how email works knows that the email server must have full access to the email itself. Actually it is very likely that two or more email servers will have access to it. Even even one has not worked with a email server it would seem obvious that the server cannot deliver the email to someone else unless it actually has the email. Absolute best one can hope for is that the company states they will not access it. Only possible option otherwise would be if the originating user encrypted the email and the receiver (the person) decrypted it using a key that is only shared by both.
Safety deposit boxes come to mind. MS is allowing only "their devices" to connect to XBox. Most see it as an issue. I think it's to exclude cheats as much as possible. It may all be about security and less nonsense (user handling). Time sharing.

As long as you can do that without using any kind of force over any other human, that is perfectly fine with me. My problem is that most people using such arguments, really want to say: I don't want anyone to limit my use of economic power over other humans to earn myself even more economic power. I don't want anyone to limit my pollution of air and drinking water that is consumed by thousands of other people. I want no restrictions on my right to fight down and exterminate any opinion or statement that conflicts with my religious or moral beliefs. I want the full right to behave exactly the way I want, say, in my driving of a car, even though it puts a lot of other people's life in danger. I want the full right to live my life in the way I want, even in a way that is a threat to me, and in case it threatens to destroy me, I expect all those around me to pay up for my treatment. And so on. If you really want to live completely unaffected by anyone else, in such a way that your life affects noone else (at least not in any negative / restrictive way), you probably can find ways to achieve it. I can't see how that would be possible with you continuing to make postings to CP. Freedom can be 'freedom from' or 'freedom to'. Freedom from pollution, regligious powers, economical powers, dangers of all kinds. Freedom to pollute, enforce religious restrictions on the life of others, use my economic power, live my life without concern for my own dangers and the dangers of others. If you really want all the 'freedom from' without any of the 'freedoms to', then you have my respect. Most others are first and foremost requesting 'freedom to'.
And even if they do just want be 'left alone,' what if they want to visit their family far away? It sure is nice to have roads that OTHER PEOPLE built, and cars that OTHER PEOPLE built, and gas that OTHER PEOPLE drilled and refined and transported, and electricity that OTHER PEOPLE created the infrastructure and mechanisms for. We are all in this together, whether we recognize it or not. Except for that indigenous tribe that kills foreigners off the coast of Africa or wherever...

How did these people ever reach anyone else before Facebook, would be my first question... I don't miss anyone who thinks the only way to reach someone is by looking them up on Facebook. About a decade ago I was told "we" had a 20-year high school reunion (a few years prior), and I had not been made aware of it because whoever organized it only bothered to look up and send invites to people on Facebook... If anyone who knows anything about me searches for my name on the internet at large, they'll only find stuff from a few people who I know happen to share my name and surname, but clearly don't share any hobbies or interests (anyone who knows me would not mistaken me for someone else who posts anything anywhere using my name). And frankly I'd rather have it that way.
