@jameschip @kirtai > I moved from apps to notebooks. Amazing choice.
If it was proprietary malware, of course switching to something that isn't designed to entrap you was an improvement.
I've found org-roam superior to easily-lost (and hard to backup) paper notes.
Even if one uses one of the proper notetaking & indexing methodologies, it's just more laborious to do it by hand.
> I also moved from non stick cook ware to stainless/ carbon steel. This was also one of the best things I did.
Nonstick was demonstrated to me as being garbage when I found out I couldn't use proper wok-cooking heats with it. And then I found out the stuff is cancerous on top of that even when it isn't cracked or visibly damaged.
A bit of oil in stainless steel is fine.
> I moved from gas to induction. Full on win.
It's also better than conventional electric, which is what I've had experience with.
So much less annoying to clean, too.
> Going back to CDs.
I prefer DRM-free lossless digital copies. Easier to backup, and easier to carry with oneself should an emergency evacuation be necessary (which with climate change making extreme events more common, looks like an eventual guarantee I'll have to deal with such things).
(And doing high-quality rips by oneself is not quite trivial, when the media is old-enough.)
Anything that can be backed up is preferable, because physical materials are cumbersome and hard to evacuate quickly. 12~16TB (used/refurbished) drives fit in a purse or backpack without issue.

Mostly the corposcum and capitalists. Because of course they do not have your best interest at heart.
