Living in the NW corner of the US, I'm a long walk from the #Canadian border but I can make it if I ever need to. Regardless, I plan to move to #Canada someday.

I like to explore and discuss. But have avoided social media for a long time, due to the obvious. Respectful disagreement encouraged. Rude, insensitive, cruel, harassing, and generally evil posts will get you blocked.

@mike wondering if youve ever considered increasing the character limit on the instance?

Not sure how hard that is, but thought I'd ask. Thanks for the welcoming space so far!

cmonster,

@mike makes sense. I think my last one was 2000 which is way too long so was thinking a split difference would be nice. But not a deal breaker at all. Just wanted to ask. Thanks!

Thinking of making the switch from to .
NGL, the prospect of switching my email is intimidating, to say the least. Ive had gmail since it started basically, so its intertwined in my life. And I wont delete the account because, you know, it's basically impossible not to have gmail, esp since I use Would love any thoughts/advice (don't suggest an iphone. I hate apple products). I do like the privacy aspect and am taking other steps to limit sharing of data. thx!

cmonster,

@mjgardner it does . Also has a calendar app and a password manager that works with Firefox and all as apps on Android. Maybe it's just inertia. Switching something as basic as email seems so hard though. But sure why. @protonmail any thoughts? I've moved emails and contacts and calendar. Technically I know what to do.

cmonster,

@protonmail 3 questions:

  1. I have a chromebook that I'm running Linux on more and more. But as such my document editing is in the cloud. What's a solution you recommend for private cloud document editing/creation?
  2. Does proton pass do credit card fill?
  3. Do you have a coupon code or deal coming up to help me make the switch? 😃
cmonster,

@protonmail Thank you
Regarding the plan structures/benefits: With Proton Unlimited, can I share it with other users in my family so they have their own login with inbox, drive space, calendar, and Vault that uses a subset of the account's 500gb storage space? Or do I have to use a Proton Family Plan for that?
If it's the latter, what does it mean on unlimited that I can share vaults with 10 others? Are those each protected by their own passwords?
Thanks for your time and help

Im sorry to share this here, in such a nice, friendly space. But it's that we get more studies on this. Why? Because after a period is wrong now.

cmonster, to threads

I checked out #threadsapp for a few minutes. It's basically Twitter. My suggested feed looked nice enough but I didn't see it filling a niche I haven't filled here. Except people I know IRL are on it. And I'm never gonna be the one to convince them to leave where it's easy to be. I've learned that lesson a million times over the years.
I do hope it federates eventually and I can connect to them. But it's already uninstalled.
Meantime, I left a bio with my address here.

With all the productivity gains provided by technology, we should have had a four day work week by now.
Did something happen to #unions?

cmonster,

@eyesquash Yes. Right wing propaganda beat down #union membership starting in the 80s: in large part, to Ronald Regan busting the air traffic controllers and then the middle of USA voting against their own best interests.
