I agree - fuffle can be snarky (not nearly as snarky as me but still). And I agree - the article is about the ubiquity of the services we use and how even if you try to eliminate them, you have to eliiminate far, far more than you intend.

Getting a photo out of a camera and to a friend on the Internet is tricky. Instagram is seamless. Playing music these days is tricky. Spotify is seamless. I mean, I listen to audiobooks from my public library and if Overdrive isn't on AWS, it's on Rakuten. And while paper calendars are great if they work for you, my wife and I are running twelve google calendars. For that matter, both of her EHRs (Electronic Health Record Systems) run on Google calendars and an iPad.
