  • Don’t get me started.

    Gmail for business has been renamed at least four times.

    Google Home changed layout for no particular reason and made everything an extra click away.

    Google Assistant removed perfectly working actions, try turning on your A/C at 3am in the morning whilst you’re sleeping.

    Android changes navigation modes making everything worse.

    Gmail keeps changing its layout.

    Google Admin moves sections around for no reason.

    Google search returns worse results every week.

    Google Gemini is infecting every service.

    Google Sites removed simple blogging functionality without any alternative.

    Free services for life are now paid.


  • The boundary of where to host what, is not fixed. You cannot host the internet at home. Where people sit on the spectrum varies depending on skill, resources and need.

    I highlighted several options that provide a solution for someone with limited skills and resources.

    You could host a CALDAV server or a next cloud at home and use the suggestions I provided, or you could use those hosted by someone else.

    My answer was to provide ideas, not a how-to guide, answering, in my opinion, exactly what OP was looking for.

    That it doesn’t match your idea about solving the problem tells you that there are many ways to solve software problems. My suggestions had a low barrier to entry.

    What’s your recommendation for OP?
