Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I decided to migrate away from gmail entirely (finally). Turns out it takes a while to migrate 19 years worth of emails. Now I need to update all the online accounts I care about. I thought this process was going to be a headache, but it's way more of a headache than I anticipated. Just going to spend a few hours a day on it until it's fully done.

I feel you. I've been spending a long time doing the same. I wanted to also clean up my digital footprint by requesting account deletion and data erasure (thanks to GDPR that is actually possible), however some companies make it extremely difficult to do this.
