Get the fuck out with this proprietary cancer. All of the software listed in the blog post is spyware. Google can go fuck themselves, no one on this planet should be giving up their privacy and freedom to such a garbage company, no one should be using their shitty software.
If you read this blog post and honestly thought about using any of this, I have some better advice for you.
Don’t buy a foldable phone, it’s unnecessary as fuck and will break very quickly
If you actually have a Pixel Fold or any Google Pixel Phone, you’re kinda lucky, you can remove the proprietary spyware OS and replace it with GrapheneOS, the most private and secure mobile operating system which is free and open source
Stay away from Todoist, use the FOSS Tasks.org app from F-Droid instead
Bonus tips:
Read some more articles on Privacy Guides, set NextDNS as your private DNS service, use an Email aliasing service like SimpleLogin, try to use VOIP phone numbers and virtual credit cards from Privacy.com if you are from the US.
Hey, I like this comment. It lists most of the actions I’ve taken over the last few years. I’m glad I’m not fueling AI training anymore with my data. GrapheneOS my latest migration after using /e/ for a few years. So happy. Notesnook is new to me. Looks interesting although still unclear to me if there is some business model behind. How are these guys making a living?
Notesnook is cool, I used Standard Notes before but the Notesnook UI is much better, especially on the mobile apps. I don’t know if they are profitable right now, but their business model is just their premium plan for 5 bucks/month. They might have lower expenses for staff though because IIRC they’re a small team from Pakistan, where wages are obviously lower than in Western countries. Everything is end-to-end encrypted and their apps as well as their backend infrastructure are open source.
