> Hi, I'm Heather Burns — yes, that one.

Ok, I was going to ask, but taking "yes, that one" seriously I suppose confirms the author is the actress Heather Burns best known for playing the best friend role in a string of successful romantic comedies.

Kind of weird to be reading some blog post about tech privacy from such a well known actress.

Am I missing something?

So, a UK-only advice, and it strangely assumes that any other service in UK wouldn’t be bound by the same laws.

I can encrypt anything and store it in anything that provides storage. Why are people acting like "end to end encryption" is a feature you need a cloud service to provide to you. Rather the opposite - it's really something you can only do yourself.

Sure, but almost no one is managing their own keys and knows enough about the various e2ee algorithms to make these decisions on their own.

Do you know of a good piece of software or tool that lets a layperson interface with any cloud storage provider?

just noticed your CSS has an issue on wide screens that cuts off some of the words at the end of a line, here's the culprit:

``` @media screen and (min-width: 1200px) { .site-content .entry-content .wide-content, .alignwide, .alignfull { margin-right: -34.0740%; } } ```

that margin-right is causing some of the content to move too far to the right and gets hidden in `.entry-content`

A joke? A fun tagline? A little zing for under the heading?
