Footnotes
-
My dream is to get rid of WhatsApp, to be meta free. Unfortunately, 99% of my contacts use it, so I won’t see this happening soon. ↩
-
iCloud for the important things, Dropbox for a bunch of legacy stuff, Mega for the expendable ones. ↩
-
Opalstack gave me years of great service and helped me leave Gmail, but I wanted something more reliable, and Fastmail hit the spot. I especially love the masked email feature and the integration with 1Password. ↩
-
I tried to fully move to Obsidian, but Notes is too convenient. ↩
-
Bitwarden is great, but 1Password is way better. I love the developer tools. ↩
-
Unfortunately, Omnivore was acquired and shut down. ↩

I would have never thought that I would end up paying for a search engine, and yet here I am. Definitely the best upgrade of my year. I couldn’t do without it now. The integration of the quick answers is fantastic. Try it. ↩
