I just use the gmail mobile website on my smartphone and put a link to it on my Home Screen. So many of these services you don’t necessarily need an app for, unless you just enjoy giving them your personal data or something ha ha

I was misfortunate enough to be born in 1979 and was also just old enough to be cognizant and tangentially involved during major computing/communications epochs. I was around for when personal computing proliferated down to family home

Yet the government hasn’t fallen apart. I also don’t agree witn your cartoonish assessment of how DOGE goes about eliminating waste and fraud, the blatant fraud in the Social Security Department is more than evidence of that. How many 140 y
