Deleting Google Stuff

1. 20 years of crap

One thing about revamping your entire system and going independent is that it forces you to finally consolidate everything under your own independent means. I forgot how much crap i had over at Google since twenty years or more (some emails going back to literally the first few months of the Beta Gmail). Since we've learned that Google is being forced by the Nazi Trump regime to turn over all information on random people that criticize it, I've decided to leave Google forever - along with Apple of course. When I put my stuff on Google and Apple, it was with the understanding that it would remain private. There have been times in the past where this may have been doubtful, but nothing like these days.

I implore everyone to do the same: Get your private stuff - all your documents, your photos, your spreadsheets, your email and more - off of Google. If you set up your own system, you won't need them ever again - an you'll probably be paying less for a better system that you and your family or friends (or both) can share.

I'm watching 20+ years of data being deleted right now, and I'm feeling really good about it.
