Your meaning of Focused is as in capitalism though. There’s no real benefit to having Google host your calendars and to do list other than “synergy” and “one login”. Maybe provides some buttons that will copy-paste some things for you.

Yeah like I said if you like using a browser and risking performance issues, networking issues, user hostility issues of a browser than living in that world is fine. I’m not too lazy to spend a Saturday setting up a self-hosted service as I enjoy working with software and hacking on it. Since most of my stuff isn’t a complex web app trying to keep me locked in, issues are easy to solve, not locked behind unattended customer support like Google services. If you want to be in all the hip social circles though lock-in is the way to go.

Nothing beats shutting off the ad engine though and just having only my blank Fade In window to stare at though. Never a risk of distractions.
