Security

It is not OK to dismiss security and privacy concerns. I highly recommend the following read: https://www.nbtv.media/newsletter/privacy-101

I would highly recommend working to actively remove the following companies from your life. Google, Apple and Microsoft.

I started moving in this direction several years ago after actually reading the privacy policies from the above companies. I am now using a linux pc as my home OS, but am also trapped into the greater world requiring Microsoft for work related tasks.

I also pay for privatized email where I am not beholden to exchanging the body of my messages for free services.

My next phone will likely remove me from the google tracking. Take a look at graphene OS. https://grapheneos.org/. There are a variety of other options.

Out for now, always go the smarter not harder route!
