This highlights why centralized platforms are a liability. When one company manages your email, files, and payments, they become a one-stop shop for surveillance. Using independent, open-source alternatives like Nextcloud helps protected your digital footprint from being easily harvested.

@Pikapods For God's sake stop using Google. It's almost pure evil. If, like me, you use an Android phone, stay logged out of Google except when you do necessary software updates or add new apps. All but the shittiest apps work fine when you're logged out.
