In the last week:

I started using Syncthing. I was using cloud storage as a way of copying files from one device to another. Syncthing is so much better.

I signed up with Mullvad VPN yesterday.

Deleted my Surfshark account today which I signed up with over two years ago when I didn’t care about privacy.

Finally convinced my sister to start using Signal.

      I will find out in a few days if it will work. I am unfortunately in the US so most people just use SMS/iMessage but within my social circle most used Whatsapp. Hopefully they install Signal instead of just texting via SMS

        Good luck with that. I got one person to move to Signal.

        My work team uses WhatsApp for group messages re shifts etc. SMS just doesn’t cut it for that, so I have to use WA.

        Also, we have a family group on there.

        Could be worse, the part time job I did recently used Teams 😒
