Nice, which one?
Main thing I've done is gathering a lot of information, I think there are some groceries I skipped on but I'm not really a person who buys the same out of habit anyway. I've been wanting to switch email providers for a while now, so I've started that process. Same with Google services, deleted a bunch of apps (like Google Maps) and I think the next big thing is try and switch os (or further degoogle android) and dip my toes in Linux again after not using it for 10 years or so.
I left Facebook and Instagram years ago and I feel that really improved my life and I feel the tech changes I'm doing now will do the same.
Checked all products i regularly buy on who "the real owner" is and ditched every brand that is US owned for a european one.
Currently trying to get Linux Mint to run on a notebook; once this works, i will switch the os on my gaming pc to a linux as well and afterwards teach my mom (76) how to use Mint on her pc.
I actually blitz changed so much that there isn't much I can really do anymore.
All that's left is: Discord, Youtube, Whatsapp, Twitch and a bit of scrolling reddit on my shadowbanned account (there's just more buyfromeu content there) and installing GrapheneOS on my pixel and Linux on my pc (which I'll be doing when I get a new one so I can set up dual booting while still having a functional one for work/leasure while getting that figured out) Oh and getting home assistant figured out once I've moved, currently using google home for my entire 1 smart lamp
Also, currently I'm driving a Toyota Yaris lease car from my company. I can switch whenever due to flex leasing but I just can't find an EU made car that's as good for the price. Closest pick I have is a VW Polo for a bit over 100 euros extra a month
Wow, well done!
Using my mailbox.org email more and more. Thinking about switching to https://addy.io/ , the project is self hostable, there was a post about it this week
