What small thing have you had to cut back because of the cost of living? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

Oh there are a lot of small things I had to give up because of rising costs of living. TBHany have been a positive change.

  1. Eating meat (yes, really)
  2. Impulse buying of all sorts

The whole situation has made me more intentional with my money, and I like that.

MIne was from 2007. So not as old as yours. Yes, there are many things connected to it, but you can't imagine what a feeling of relief that is.

It has been a few weeks since we started this, which European email provider have you switched to? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

I'm in a very similar situation like you are. I too have started to be annoyed with the Big Tech products and the Internet in general.

I have switched to Lemmy, shut down my gmail account and opened a Proton Mail, and switched from using Google search engine to Qwant.

I too have switched to Linux Mint, and I'm loving it. TBH my IT colleauges talked me into buying refurbished Thinkpad laptop and told me to install Linux Mint. Boy am I glad I did that.

The next step for me is switching to Fairphone :D
