 @7dc5a2e3 @749d2a0c @a61fc147 I might have to give Proton another look.  I tried them out a few months back but didn't stick with it.  At this point gmail is my only remaining link to Google, though admittedly it's far easier to dump Google as an Apple user (which I am). 
 I just had a SweeTango apple. It was revelatory. If you don’t like apples, and your mental imag... 
 @edbba727 Haven't tried that one yet, but you're right -- every other apple variant out there is superior to Red "Delicious." 
 I love referring to San Francisco as "West Bay". It gets great reactions. 
 @edbba727 Probably more than a few side eyes.  😀

 @53de482a Well, I think you are! 
 @32351832 I like Mr. Fain.  He tells it like it is, which is something I'd like to see out of more union leaders. 
 Not having a #smartphone (I'm a smartphone refusnik) I am only aware of #WhatsAp, but I know its ... 
 @43d7c4ea Yeah, I figured ads were pretty much inevitable once Meta bought them. A lot of the folks I use it with are in Mexico and I think it would be difficult to get them to change at this point.  I also understand the resistance to smartphones, as I was a somewhat late adopter myself (2016).  But now I find having a smartphone very useful when I'm out and about.  I don't live on my phone, though, thank God! 
 @1f749671 Starting to see the signs here as well.  I don't think it's even made it to 70 degrees here today and we had a pretty hot summer in Albuquerque.  We've also been getting a bit of rain the past couple of days. 
 A #ThrowBackThursday memory. My late husband Aldo and I at SF Pride in the summer of 1996.  This was in the first few months of our relationship.  That was a great day!

 @edbba727 Known that for years. Glad the FDA has finally caught on. Now maybe I can buy the real stuff without people thinking I’m trying to be the next Walter White.
