A band called Kalandra has just released their new album - A Frame Of Mind. I know this band, I was aware it was coming out, but i didn't listen to any of the singles before the release date.
I am quite blown away how good the album is. They call their music Norwegian folk, but IMO it is a moody alt rock music. Great stuff!
It is still being used. Check out Cellar Darling - vocalist plays hurdy gurdy.
During Covid, I did some digital cleaning. It took me around a month (from couple of minutes, up to few hours each day) to clean up my gmail inbox. I had a gmail label where I placed all the emails received from any site where I created an account. I went one by one to each of them and either changed the login (to a non gmail address), or deleted an account (if I wasn't using it anymore).
Now I use another email provider, and i pay for it. I use gmail for situations/accounts where i suspect that my email address could be spammed. Right now, my whole google space usage is around 50 mb. I stopped using google drive, I don't use google search, I still use YouTube and pay to have no ads - because I just like YouTube.
It's possible to disconnect oneself from Google services as much as one wants. Still, I continue to use an android phone (I like iOS, but it's still too limited in comparison to Android).
I think that Gboard would still find a way to connect to the mothership.
So? How did it go?
