I applied for a US visa about a decade ago and was faced with the question (it literally blew my mind, I probably still have a screenshot of it somewhere) and this year my SO was filling this electronic visa and he faced something similar a

If someone is ignorant and (Re)uses weak password then it's own fault. Yes, phishing can happen but it's more convoluted (and again - lack of attention). Being conscious about it brings the benefit of not relying on single point o

For that reason I don't want passkey. Password and regular 2fa/totp are fine... when setting 2fa I put it on my phone and my computer and another password vault on rpi... granted, everything still in same location but still somewh

No, I got my domains at OVH ages ago and via force of laziness I keep them there (though once I checked, and they still have nice pricing so there's that)

I switched to infomaniak (Swiss, from mailbox.org that I used just after Google, but it had way to many quirks). I very much recommend infomaniak.

I'm sorry but what are you rambling about? Barcelona for example is flooded with tourists and "nomads" and save for basically banning short term rentals and eradicating cancerous Airbnb there is not that much that can be done

We do use XMPP, and by default I disabled notifications for all groupchat rooms so I get instant notification for 1-to-1 chats and can respond and ignore the rest. In Slack it's quite common (from my observation) to ping lots of people

How wonderful to differ - I actually love bite sized, "tldr" or baeldung and almost always get what I need. (not to mention that quite often javadocs of many project are just empty or severely lacking... )

It's not the browser vendors (well, save for morons from google) because there is DoNotTrack header but it's not used/enforced. EU could amend the law to include that and it would be AWESOME.
