I’ve got to make a decision and want to take a room temperature check on what sacrifices people find acceptable for their own comfort. Use any services you know you shouldn’t? Any tools that you’re just waiting for a chance to replace but can’t yet?

    Microsoft SwiftKey on my phone. I’ve been using it since before it was acquired by Microsoft. It is an incredible keyboard and after using it for years, I am very fast on it. I ditched it for about 6 months last year for the FOSS alternative HeliBoard, but it negatively impacted my typing speed so much that I recently gave up and reverted to SwiftKey.

    Google Maps also on my phone, because it works really well compared to the alternatives I’ve tried. I’ve used (and contributed to) OSM, but it’s just not a drop-in replacement for Google Maps yet.

    I “verified my identity” on LinkedIn a while back because I’m job hunting.

      Is LinkedIn even useful to you? Every time I’ve gone job searching, I’ve found a bunch on indeed and barely anything on LinkedIn.
