while I do feel the same, it's not like there isn't a solution to most of those problems. have problems with stock roms on devices since you don't know what they do? Try android custom roms. Have problems with Operating systems doing insane amounts of work without you ever knowing what that is? Try rolling your own Distro. Problem with gmail? Try running mutt somewhere and give yourself pub key access to the server. But more generally don't fucking rely on the cloud. Oh dear, skype, I have to use it for work purposes, but man, how I wish I didn't. He forgot to add android and linux to the list. Compared to that you can at least just use an older skype version on windows and be done with it. My notebook runs a heavily customized linux and it boots in under 10 second. Updating my system? Still boots in under 10 seconds. All my linux distro setups lasted for years.
