Use duck duck go or brave for searches
Lemmy is the only interactive thing I've got left, and we'll see where that goes
Things I cannot or am not willing to go dark on include online banking and bill pay. I could, but that creates so much extra time. But then if anybody needs to confirm that I pay my water bill, more power to them.
I also have and love Spotify though it seems I'm not supposed to do that anymore, so I've got to figure that one out. (Though I have many acquaintances in mid tier music groups who love Spotify as it drives ticket and merch sales for them)
Anywho, give it another decade, and I'll just be somebody that nobody is sure exists.
