  • In my opinion, technology keeps improving, however that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s getting better. I think innovation in technology peaked from the 2000s to the early 2010s, after this period however, it has continually become more and more “enshitified,” meaning that features no one wanted suddenly being added. For example, “ai coffee maker” (this is real), like who asked for this? Not to mention, not only is everything more bloated, but levels of privacy have decreased significantly; every aspect of your digital life is capitalized on for advertising. The early 2010s were simpler times.
























  • iPhones are great, but not totally private, data collection still happens. If you really want a private experience, you could have kept your Pixel, and installed GrapheneOS on it, which would be the definitive option for privacy in a mobile setting.

    For Docs, Spreadsheets etc, the only privacy friendly alternative I have found would be Nextcloud, which you have to host yourself, since as of now there aren’t any others as good. You could use libreoffice if you didn’t mind being local.

    Never heard of Zoho, i’d probably stick with Proton Mail, Tutanota, or Skiff.
