Yes I can. Deleted my last Google account yesterday. Got what I needed, and honestly once I liberated a couple phone numbers (too damn memorable to ever just give up), there wasn’t much left.
Been slowly migrating for awhile piece by piece, the timing just happened to work out well for the last piece, and the metaphoric peering in cabinets to make sure nothing got overlooked in the process.
I still have to deal with Win 11 for work, and having AI forced down my throat, but Google-free feels GOOD!
Not without un-federalising. Given that generally, red states are net receivers of cash and blue states are net payors, that seems unlikely - TX rhetoric be damned.
Not that I’d begrudge Texas taking Abbot and Costello Paxton and kindly fucking right off, nor would I vote to spill one drop of American blood to keep them by force, of course
But I believe that die is long cast regardless.
