I've started to try and move away from Google as much as possible, which I knew would be difficult, but it's proving to be harder than I thought.

I can't do anything about my work stuff, because our company uses Google for email and cloud storage. I set up an account on Proton Mail for my personal email and file storage. I currently have an android phone, but I don't like iPhones so I don't really know what I want to do there. I switched back to Firefox after 15 years of using Chrome. I actually started using Bing search more. I'm looking into alternatives for the Chromecast that Google doesn't seem interested in supporting anyway, which might just end up being a small PC hooked up to the TV.

I'm just so tired of Google services either being shut down or slowly getting worse and worse until they're nearly unusable.

I've had enough movies and shows unavailable to me that I'm doing exactly this. I bought a PC just to use as a media server, set up Plex, and started ripping all my DVDs to the computer and I can stream them to my Chromecast. No ads, available permanently. I can buy movies from thrift shops and garage sales, and at least for now DVDs are super cheap. It's not high quality video but I don't really care too much.

After how fucking god awful the Sprint merger was handled I don't think I can trust t-mobile to do anything right

I'm still on macos 12 because every major update seems to break something in my dev flow

I've only played Horizon 2, Horizon 5, and Forza 6 so i don't know anything about those. I liked the ones I played though.

FH5 definitely worth it, especially half off. Premium edition adds a lot too
