Uses
Balancing privacy with ease of use is important to me. I prefer to avoid USA-based software due to the Cloud Act in conjunction with the lack of regulations and unethical practices of some companies. Though, I acknowledge that some of the best tools are developed there so I allow for some concession to make my life easier :)
In my daily routine, I rely on a custom-built Linux machine running Omarchy (Arch) for both work and leisure, and a company provided MacBook Pro for professional tasks.
For coding, I prefer Zed, though use VS Code most of the time for its rich plugin ecosystem and co-pilot. In an effort to become faster and keep my fingers on the keyboard, I am learning VIM motions.
I use Anytype for general writing, note-taking, task management, and various other things like lists and even some spreadsheets.
