I never test for safari. The people who complain about safari compatibility are the boomers of the modern web. Just use chrome like everybody else, you hipster.

I'm happy to sell a perpetual licence of my niche desktop software for 300 euros, but nobody will lay for that. Anything less, and I cannot promise updates and development time. So it will be 5 euro a month licencing until the end of it's days.

Ah, so you are self hosting your email! That's where the trouble lies then. I wouldn't do that myself, too much headache. Just use Gandi's webmail.

These kind of initiatives are extremely cringe worthy, dishonest and unprofessional.

Yes, but while the US generally wants to have their dick up your arse, GDPR makes sure your butt is protected by law.

I came here to say this. People should read at least the Wikipedia summary for CLOUD act. It's classic US legislation, 'we don't care about borders when it suits us' style.

Never had much of a problem with Gmail's filter. An odd newsletter end up in spam once every while. How does your issue manifest?

I was struggling much like OP. Microdosing LSD turned my life around. Find a friend who has a friend who can help with this.

I do not understand what their product is about. Just a Google docs alternative but wItH cRyPtO?

Absolutely not.

It's your business idea, so go figure it out yourself, imho.

Stop using the bleeding edge crap and install debian stable. It works, never breaks. Gets security patches all the same. I'm happy to get new browser features once every 4 years, since I mostly don't need them anyway.

Well it was a bad example.

I don't read the news, don't use Amazon, and all I use Google for are searching and email. I don't watch streams, listen to few podcasts if any, and generally don't bother with social media.

So the answer is that you just stop caring, stop paying attention to it all. Stop feeding garbage onto your mind. It will eventually fade from your life, and you realised you are better off without them.

I'm content now. I build things my way, and don't care how others do it, how the new tech looks, nor of the state of the world, the web, the narratives. It's just noise, and I have earplugs now.

Let go.

There is no technological workaround to training your mind not to seek these things. So I guess effort is the answer.

Dude, other companies also host shit on the web. Look it up, there are a dozen cheaper alternatives, you just never took the time to find one.

I'm the exact opposite. I enjoy the cushy FTE positions in European companies where I can automate my work away to the point where 1-2 hours of actual effort is all I need to put in. I don't find any satisfaction in doing a good job for a company not my own, and spend my focus and energy doing my hobbies, socialising, living my life in bliss. Most workaholics I knew my life were miserable people who hated their life and didn't sleep enough.

Use Linux and self host your stuff at home or on a VPS that is not from a megacorp.

>My new boss says it’s not really a big deal to ask me to join these calls before my start date.

Then it's not a big deal if you tell him you are not joining the calls as you will have a medical appointment at the time.

Have you never written a HN upvote bot to push your submissions up? It's how it goes.

As someone said, you confuse interrupted with distracted. I medicate my distraction away by microdosing lsd. 10 microgram every 3 days. There is now quiet in my head. Look into it.
