I’ve been with Posteo almost a decade, that part was pretty easy. I remember downloading everything from Google Drive was pretty easy back then as well.

Then I used stock android until maybe a year ago when my phone was too old to get updates and too old to be supported by my banks app so I migrated to LineageOS.

The messaging app landscape is kind of a mess, so I use SMS/MMS BC as you’ve noted the landscape is fragmented at best.

I solved file storage with AlainKnaff/Android-SFTP-Documents-Provider which just SFTPs into my desktop at home.

I hear you and don’t really think “more expensive” is something car mfgs care about ATM. If anything, that’s a feature for them. i think average price of a new car is about $50k

Once a year I go to the local library and print some blank 1040s and other tax documents, costs me like $2 in print fees. Nobody (except maybe Ratheon) wants weapons in space. Can we make tax season more efficient instead? For example, gov sends a tax bill that one either pays or disputes rather than forcing everyone to calculate a number they already have?
