TIL about Thingino firmware, and so should you

User data is typically private on business plans, at least if you stick to the core services. Plenty of companies use O365, GSuite, or whatever to facilitate this kind of thing and I'm sure they would be pitching a huge fit if their user data was being collected.

I have a G Suite account. It's like $10/mo for my use case. Not a fan of google, either, but being on the business side of it helps me learn more.

It's to save your data. The VPS provider has redundancies in place for the hardware, but unless you're paying specifically for data backups, they aren't going to bend over for that.

If you ever want to get scared straight as it were? Take a teacher out for drinks (and you better pay for them!). You’ll hear LOTS of horror stories and get even a glimpse into the kind of hell they have to put up with.

My mom was a 6th grade teacher for 20 years. She always said that the worst part of the job was not the kids, but dealing with parents.

She recently pivoted to admin work. I don't blame her one bit.

You can install Lineage OS on older devices. I have two devices from 2015 (Nexus 6P) and 2016 (Pixel XL). One runs LOS22 (Android 16), the other runs LOS20 (Android 14), both of which are more than capable of running modern apps.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but this is not a new thing. It's just becoming more obvious.

Having been involved with many youth groups as a kid, including BSA, a not-insignificant amount of the leaders were - for lack of better word - idiots.

This has given the mainstream media cover to lionize and normalize his hate,

You mean like they've been doing for decades, since Trump was a TV personality? Trump has always been treated with kid gloves. He's the dipshit who started the "birther" conspiracy against Obama.

Progress!
