Client-side encryption could help Confidentiality and Integrity, but still leaves you powerless on Availability. If your cloud provider decides to have a glitch, changes their offer, raises fees, … your whole setup is impacted by the cloud

I get it that the right to privacy has not been such a priority in the past, especially outside Europe, but there's nothing wrong in trying to strengthen it. What was maybe fine a couple decades ago is no longer fine in a world where a

Somewhat amused by the "keming" you refer to. I assume it's tongue-in-cheek. :-) Double-space into period is a customizable feature of on-screen keyboards (at least Gboard).

You could include caveats into that blanket generalization. Take France, which is just next door to Germany. Electricity cost is easily half of Germany's, and CO₂ emissions are about one fifth. I've gone from 50 €/month on di

Every Western-style input method should come with a Compose function enabled, and a simple tutorial on how to use it. For example, on Windows I use Wincompose [1], that lets me type things like "⋄*g" for Greek gamma: 'γ'
