Going through his list:
I don’t use GMail for personal emails - work does - oh well. Not my problem.
Haven’t used Google for years - many years.
Haven’t EVER used Google Drive.
Never used Chrome. I’ve used Brave since it’s been available - what - 5 years now?
Have never used WhatsApp or iMessage.
“everything you type into Word, Excel, or Powerpoint passes through Microsoft’s servers.” Bullshit!! If you use 365 and STAY LOGGED ON all the time, you’re a dumbass. I don’t use 365 and I am NEVER logged in, so this doesn’t happen. Nice BULLSHIT lie, though.
Ok - this is getting boring. The moral of the story is, use whatever the hell you want - just don’t be a dumbass.
Words to live by...
I only use what they give me at work 99% of the time, their problem.
I have a simple phone (not apple) with minimal apps. I uninstall as many as I can and a Faraday bag. A throw down email address when I have to give one that I never check or send anything on. I don’t opt out of snail mail contacts for internet only with any business I personally use. I buy in stores 90% of the time and use cash. If they don’t take cash, I tell them they are stupid and lost my business (not that they care) and walk out.
I still have office 2016 pro so it stays on the computer when I used it but I also have libre office which is great plus Swifdoo for PDF files...took awhile to get used to it but pretty good overall.
