If #Trump’s #election was the #apocalypse, this week has been a never-ending #AprilFools, #writes #JohnCasey.

Dear #Simple Friends,

It is too #complex:

• setting up #GNU #Thunderbird
• accessing my #email accounts
• #accessing #reliable #information

I am not the #brightest fish on the #tandem but I try to be #smarter. #Ideally I try to stick to what #experts know. I know that an email account should just work. Trying to ‘recover’ my #gmail account, which was locked down because of suspicious #activity (from me inadvertently).

Holy mother of COD I did not think I would ever get it back. I had changed to a more secure email ‘service’ proton mail (more trouble than solution) … they start you off free and then click and bait you into a paid service. Just like every app and consumerist #twitter type free service. Hands and claws up for a better #functioning internet?

Email is olde. Now very sadly I am using #whatsapp BUT have managed to set up gmail with Thunderbird
… With the help of the good gals and #guides

I have learned:

• simpler is better
• good people are helping
• FREE Software Foundation, Good people, Mastodon, good
• more good people please

I am galloping towards supporting good, without a horse or a kingdom …
