I can't help, and I do not absolutely want to being rude but IMVHO it's about time anyone start thinking about personal IT autonomy.
I mean: first computer for the (wealthy and educated) masses was desktops, designed to work in a decentralized network of desktops, It's about time to rediscover such concept:
- can you afford a small homeserver? A simple celeron/8Gb ram/storage as needed? Well for most people that's more than enough to have with public IP/dynamic DNS with a not-so-crappy connection
- do you know how to set it up with FLOSS tools?
If the answers are yes I see exactly ZERO reasons to use someone else computer. I can understand a student that live day-to-day, I can understand someone who do not have enough knowledge to deploy something personal, but in other cases well... We are in 2022...
It's not just a matter of ideology, convenience etc it's a matter of civilization: do we really want to arrive at 2030 owning nothing as the WEF want? Because owning contracts with third party services already means owning nothing. If software side something lack it's about time for FLOSS devs to look at it, perhaps instead investing time in creating stuff on top of proprietary cloud APIs witch is by nature wasted time since those APIs can always change dropping all works on top of them in a snap.
