Decoupling

In one year I’ve:

deleted Instagram

deleted my google/gmail account and replaced with proton

deleted my amazon account

removed all photos, posts, and connections from Facebook (stuck with the account for now for biz reasons)

replaced Spotify with Qobuz

replaced Windows with Linux

replaced MS Office with Libre Office

replaced OneDrive with Dropbox

replaced Notes with plain text files

started a new Bullet journal

started reading books again

started watching DVDs again

It can be done. it feels like the end but it’s just the beginning. I’ve spent the last 30+ years building the internet and absorbing all the shiny new apps. I’m now rethinking my own dependency on big tech and where these companies are taking us and what they support.
