on meth
Same here for mailbox. I left tuta mostly due to their shitty spam filtering, weird billing, and the hard requirement of only being able to manage emails through their app(s).
The inability to add my own pgp always irked me as well. Now I got that with mailbox, and I can use whatever mail app of my choice.
Don't go to the ripperdocs the Maelstrom suggest...
So, this might sound a little odd, but I kinda freaked out when you said this cats name. Because I have a cat named Nimbus that isn't as chonky, but is a ragdoll like this cat. They look like they could be related lol

What a majestic creature
I'm a senior full stack dev, 22 years into it. I lost my job 16 months ago due to federal funding cuts killing a project I was specifically hired to build.
I have landed a total of 5 interviews since then. Rejected or ghosted. I've stopped tracking the number of applications/resumes I have submitted, but as of this past July, it was close to 150.
I think my time in this line of work is done. I'm looking at finding a different type of work that isn't so completely fucked up from AI and the (very public) fascist takeover of the open source ecosystem.
I'll still code, but it'll be on my terms. No AI, no deadlines. Just like how it started for me a long time ago.
This math seems kinda... worrisome...
collaborationist medias
This phrase is such a perfect way to describe what I frequently call "legacy media". With that said, I feel your phrase is much better.
Damn, I knew shouldn't have tried to write that while sick lol
This reads like a song from a Dead Kennedys song. Well done!
It has AI built into it. Check out the website, halfway down.
