Yours seems to follow the pattern of invading "private" spaces?
i.e. you are very protective of information about the inside of your house: floor plan, temperatures. Makes sense considering it's your home).
Seems like the same thing with the car, though. It seems like you think of the inside of the car or the workings of the car as a more private space than where the car has gone?
Emails and Hangouts conversations are harder to pin down. Could be that they are more abstract and harder to maintain a concept of private vs public spaces on the internet? Could also be that there aren't really any alternatives that provide an obvious privacy benefit for their cost/effort.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoIf privacy is important to you, I can recommend kolabnow.com as an email/calendar provider. It is a bit more clunky than the slickness of GMail/GCalendar, but their software stack is all open source (they're behind the Kolab groupware package), and they take privacy very seriously. Their servers are hosted in Switzerland, which has some of the strongest legal protections in the world, in regards to privacy. Less than $15/month for full-featured IMAP email and groupware for an individual. Is it super cheap? No. But you can't argue with their privacy track record. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolab_Now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolab_Now (I'm not affiliated, in fact I migrated from them to a different provider that also does web hosting. But I was very satisfied while I was a customer)
- epicide 9y agoThanks for the suggestion! My email for my custom domain is on FastMail, but I have a couple of gmail addresses that would take a long time to get fully migrated over. The company I work for also uses GSuite, so I can't really escape it, anyway...
