I think that those "Google gives xyz access to your emails" headlines are part of a bigger trend.

Somehow perception changed and now having the ability to actually use and treat data self-responsible as an individual is a bad thing?

I can understand that this makes everything saver for people with little technical ability, but it also strongly limits capacity for those who actually know how to use their tools.

I fear that soon everything is as cluncy and non-commital as a mobile os.


> You control your data

Except when google wants it. Sorry, but lmao.


Well, Google does have lots of information about Mirimir.

But what good does it do Google?
