      not at all.

      • Browser: Waterfox (UK). Vivaldi (to have a chrome-based one).
      • Cloud: filen.io (German, e2ee) and infomaniak Kdrive (Swiss, not e2ee)
      • Online office suite: Infomaniak Kdrive (they offer a version of MSOffice online)
      • Offline office suite: TextMaker & PlanMaker, from softmaker.com. Not FLOSS but excellent compatibility with Word/Docx, available for Linux as well (something I would love to see more non-free companies do so I happily support those who do ;) and it’s offered as a sub or as a perpetual license.
      • Email: my own domain + Proton and tuta.
      • Phone: iPhone that I seldom use beside what I truly need which is the occasional phone call, banking apps and digital ids. I don’t message, I don’t chat, I have no social installed, no games, not even email is configured on it.
      • Search: Kagi (mentioned in the post, USA) + Qwant (Fr)
      • Social Networks: Lemmy, and only on the computer. That’s all.
      • Ebooks: I went back to print. I explained my motivations on my blog if anyone is interested.
      • News: went back to printed newspapers. No tracking.
      • Note-taking: a cheap pocket notebook with great paper (from the French Clairefontaine) and a cheap ballpoint Crystal Bic from, well, Bic (FR too).
      • Agenda: paper.
      • Shop locally (France/EU, in my case): quite a few online as well as brick and mortar shops. Say, leboncoin.fr as an alternative to craiglist/ebay, and ldlc.com for computer/high-tech stuff (they have great customer support, something I value a lot) and worldofbooks.com for used books in English. Local book shops too, used and new. As little Uber as possible (I can walk/use public transit almost anywhere I need to go). Local groceries (bio), local restaurants (real restaurants, I mean). And so on.
      • Streaming: none. I quit all streaming services, went back to DVD/CDs. Too bad for those that can’t be bothered to be offered on discs as they simply don’t get our money ;)

          Not between. I use both as separate encrypted emails so people using one or the other of those encrypted services can easily reach me if they want to. I also used to use PGP with my own domain email but no one never used it, so I gave up on that.
