Posteo.de (Ethical Email + Social Lab, German, Ecologic, Paid 1EURO)
The first German telecommunications service to publish a transparency report in 2014. Has been going for over 10 years, since 2009.
TL;DR List
* 100% green electricity from Greenpeace Energy
* All saved data can be encrypted at the click of a button
* Comprehensive encryption
* Two-factor authentication (TOTP) available
* Ad-free website, ad-free email account
* Sign up without entering personal details
* Pay anonymously by bank transfer, cash or PayPal
* Personal support at no additional charge
* No trade in customer data
* 1Euro per month
(Although I'm anti-banking smoewhat if it's easy for you then 1Euro sets a minimum and helps them fund others or setup more social things to go to)
Other hosts (for beginners probably)... but for email I need other suggestions for website
(maybe paid or exchanged email by self-hosters ?):
http://freeschool.0id.org/change-your-online-providers-better-alignment/
(and yes I realised about SMTP not being there for Tutanotal or Protonmail BUT if you have mobile then effectively it already has it's own notification and no need for SMTP for that specifically). Could be workable since that is the main thing with email (I think) more than other features.

one of the major ways ADHD affects me as a programmer is that I cannot stop watching ongoing processes that have no need to be monitored. like stdout during compilation, or the ir-chk numbers going up and down in rsync, or peer lists in BitTorrent.... it's the same thing that gets me stuck watching front loading washing machines for hours.
Electrostatic discharge - Ever experienced adverse effects from ESD while repairing something?
Maybe it's a myth or highly unlikely event unless you really drag your feet or have flurry carpet in your workshop!

@freeschool@qoto.org @Tutanota@mastodon.social I don't have a #Google mail account, though, I self-host my email. There are sadly very few people learning that stacking all your data at one provider doing it for "free" is a ridiculously bad idea.
@Tutanota@mastodon.social actively hurts the open email community by trying to stamp out the use of open, standardized protocols for handling email. You could check out Drew DeVault's blog post on mail service providers if you want to have some better recommendations.
Emotionally-powered thoughts can avoid remembering detail or rembering the same situation or reaction has already been made.
So focus on considering things constructively and properly thereafter is harder in emotionally shorter loops of "I don't like that" etc.
For example emotionally when something is mentioned 100 times but a person doesn't consider advancing to the next step of "I already mentioned this and remember it didn't work" and "so now it's time to go to the next step as this step has reached it's limit, time to move on"
And then finally "I can just work with positives instead of banging on the negatives"
So doing something emotionally over and over can actually avoid moving past this into the acceptance stage and looking at the positives.
Overall everyone has this emotional sensitivity... but for stereotypes like aesthetics or impulse to critique the same way males and females have their set way without looking past this to work together on the positives.

Quitting gmail
You can just ghost gmail without closing your account.
1. You'll need a new email address. Maybe your ISP provides one? A friend with a domain name? Proton mail?
2. Set google to forward everything to your new address.
3. Set an autoreply saying what your new address is.
4. As it becomes relevant, unsubscribe from email lists and then resubscribe with your new address.
5. Move your accounts to also use your new address. Go at whatever pace works for you.

Do feel free to skip many things but the stuff important to you *please* contribute to in topics and get ahead in anything you want to get ahead yourself in speaking freely about it. Critique or criticism also welcome if genuine about words / sentiments towards uniting the ideas about Freedom / Justice (a people thing) so I can help you get the responses that help you learn / explore Freedom / Justice surrounding topics (such as what it).

Stigmergy is useless if people are in short loops of food-only type actions and conversations...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmergy
"... mechanism of indirect coordination, through the environment, between agents or actions. The principle is that the trace left in the environment by an individual action stimulates the performance of a succeeding action by the same or different agent. "
Kind of like following or snowballing something.
But fails when it's mice going for the cheese.
This one I caught myself.
Difference with humans is that we can catch each other! Mice don't tend to do that.
Stigmergy is useless if people are in short loops of food-only / money-is-ok type actions and conversations... and don't get further past that and just into more traps (there are many).
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845561003150354
3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845709367492677
I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
