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?

    Using WhatsApp because in Germany there’s no way around it for public contacts.

    Edit: I’d love some response on downvote (as always). I use other messengers myself as an avid foss fan and techie and even had it uninstalled a while. That was until I went back to participating in social life and I sure as hell can’t get institutions off of WhatsApp as totally frustrating and idiotic as it is for them to use it in the first place.

        Yeah from car mechanics to doctors, schools to associations/clubs it’s mandatory.
