My main goal with my digital hygiene is less about privacy and more about trying to avoid surveillance capitalism. I try to avoid using any systems where someone will try to collect data as a way to get some economic advantage. With that said: OS/Applications: - Linux on the desktop since 2007. - I was using Firefox with uBlock, switched to Brave because I like the model: it lets users "vote with their wallets" (by collecting the rewards and giving back to content creators they like) while keeping their personal data out of reach from advertisers. - Went through a series of Android phones that could be rooted, installing Lineage OS whenever possible. I'm now on /e/OS, and I use only the apps that are available on F-Droid. I keep an old android around just for my banking app. Online Storage: - Avoid external cloud service at all costs. If the data is not on a server that I do not directly control, I treat it as a liability. No Google Drive, no Dropbox, no Spotify. Instead of being dependent on webapps, I prefer to sync my data between my machines with Syncthing and use the "proper" application to work/consume the data. I wrote more about it at https://raphael.lullis.net/thinking-heads-are-not-in-the-clouds/ https://raphael.lullis.net/thinking-heads-are-not-in-the-clo... Social Media: - Still using Twitter and reddit, but using libredirect. On mobile I browse through Fritter and Infinity for Reddit. - Heavily encouraging anyone I can to switch away to the Fediverse. I may be biased though becuse I run a managed provider for Mastodon and Matrix (https://communick.com https://communick.com)
