@vascorsd MS would say that following standards is creating a parallel universe. Walled gardens are all they know, or want to know.

@webweaver @grufwub Ugh. I'm sorry. That's ridiculous.
A lot of people can't afford going out of pocket for something like this, but if you can, it may be worth it to you to consider that.
On top of dysphoria, being on Spiro sucks (which is what I was on).

Swedish government considers "US Office clouds unsafe"! Government organizations should use Swedish hosted cloud technologies.
#selfhosting with #nextcloud is the easiest way to compliance for any organization!

@Gargron Oh, no! Hopefully, you've got to sleep by now.
I have trouble sleeping too. I take a half of a melatonin pill (about 2mg) most nights. Then I read for a while. That helps me a lot, though I still have difficult nights.
Take care of yourself! :)

Lifted my mood:
In 1938, Nazis demanded to know if ‘The Hobbit’ author was Jewish. He responded with a high-class burn.
J.R.R. Tolkien hated Nazi 'race doctrine' and no problem telling his German publishing house about it.

So, those #Facebook #VPN services for iPhone that hoover up all people's data that everyone is up in arms about -- at least one of them is available for #Android too.
Search the Google Play store for 'Onavo' to see for yourself.
Apple banned this damaging garbage, let's put the pressure on #Google to end it there as well.
