The US becoming a questionable country and people realizing how almost every digital service and product is US based also ended up becoming a huge incentive to start seeking out alternatives instead putting all their eggs in one country. If it hadn't been for that I wouldn't have been making so many product shifts and seeking out foss alternatives or at the very least nonUS alternatives.

It's been very cool seeing lot of people making attempts to try out stuff like Linux too even if they don't stick with it.

Is it finally the year of foss? I love LibreOffice and started using it years back for personal use not wanting to bother with buying another Microsoft Office version once the one I had stopped getting security updates.

I don't know if keemailme is better but that's another option from them.

Looks like I made a good decision deciding to move from onenote to obsidian last month. I like that it is a fancy mark down editor so I can just move my text files some where else if I decide to not use Obsidian in the future. When it comes to onenote functionality of being able to draw or paste where ever I want the excalidraw plugin which is open source has met my needs.

Been nice to move to something that is multi platform.

It sounded terrifying at first with it sounding like the infection happened without user involvement, but seeing how it still requires user participation makes it seem less alarming.

Most important of all they compensate their employees like they are actual humans.

I wouldn't have started even dual booting Linux if it wasn't for Steam after being pleasantly surprised with my Steam Deck played most of my Steam library. It's the primary why I intend to get AMD gpu next time around for the better driver support, but that won't be for a few years.

It's how I've kept my sanity for years using social media. Sticking to subscribed feed which is hobby/entertainment related stuff, and using aggressive filtering options if I decided to venture into all.

Same when it comes to youtube using newpipe and freetube so I stick to my feed and hiding stuff like trending videos, recommended videos, popular videos, and comments.

Turning a platform into being as minimalistic as possible has been my favorite method of consumption.
