I'm aware :) really, anyone that backs up anything at all shouldn't be using ONE THING for backups.

Personally, I use it to "sync" photos from my phone to my computer. I run nightly backups via a cron script.

Still, can't say I've had any issues so far

I'll have to check it out! Same here, mostly services on my end - but I've accumulated enough of them to make it tiresome. Still, I'll have to do it at some point

I DO have an ad blocker. I still ended up seeing an ad, that one time. It might've been on mobile. Or I might have had my ad block turned off. Either way, I've gone out of my way to make sure I never see an ad in my email again. Used mobile devtools to uninstall the Gmail client, Firefox with uBlock add-on, etc...

Yes... They don't seem to show up in the primary tab, but they're there nonetheless. Nowhere is safe, and nothing is sacred.

I got pissed off at Google Photos, which led me down a self-hosting rabbit hole. Ended up installing Linux everywhere, even my "gaming" one eventually (I do development, and WSL was a resource hog).

The hardest thing to degoogle has been email - I've used the same address for years. But I use Thunderbird so at least I don't have to see ads in my fucking inbox

If we need to start supporting diagonals, I'm quitting webdev for good

Omg same, but it's been a rough year so this is my Christmas gift to myself I guess. Also glad to hear it's helping you :)

I just got one so reading this makes me hopeful. Fallen out of love with gaming a bit in recent years
