I daily drive Void Linux as i do consider Windows being spyware.
Well, all my home appliences rely on Alexa. I do trust amazon as i had no issues with it.
About apple, i did opt out from diagnostic data sharing, filled my icloud drive and disabled find my iphone. Tho to be honest, i had this iphone for 2 years now and havent found a reason to switch yet. (iPhone 12)
Well idk if this counts, but when i started caring abt my privacy i filled my icloud storage with garbage so that it does not back up any pictures. (also i dont have a mac)
To be honest. What made me care about privacy was social media apps such as Reddit. Every single day, i used to get reddit notifications promoting "the most popular post in my country". Look, at first i didn't care. Now it got annoying, to the point where i replaced Refdit with Lemmy, getting rid of windows, switching to FOSS (free and open source software) apps and also using Degoogled Chromium. While reddit wasnt the only thing i mentioned so far, i hate how Youtube has to know where you live, and giving you directions to the nearest store (for certain ads). This probably may get malliciously used in the future, that's what i got really aware of. Now it really hurt me when Youtube has killed most 3rd party frontends (such as invidious and piped). So in conclusion, Privacy can really matter for me as a lot of services i used to use can now collect data about you.
What type of problem though? I don't see anything wrong with using an apple product while maintaining my privacy.
Well. I wasn't "Brave" enough to use it, so yea.
I've used chrome as a browser for almost my entire life. It's kinda nice to still have the chrome i know and love, but with no google spyware.
welp ๐
