I wholeheartedly agree with your post here. In one of my other replies to this thread, I did point out that most software is filled with ads, slow, unusable, or simply not available on my platform.
That’s a nice way to see your job, and through the rabbit hole, PG (and earlier PTIO) have been great tools that have helped me almost entirely move away from proprietary software (or software that’s bad for privacy) to a point where I barely miss services like Google. I recently ended up moving back to Google products to collaborate (using a throwaway account) and I was just disappointed at how cluttered, slow, and flashy they feel compared to the tools I have gotten used to.
A side advantage to having better online privacy is having no spam. More than anything, I love that I can now log in to my email client and read every single email I get because I know it’s not spam.
