The Average Person's Guide to Private and Sustainable Tech
Ok, so this isn’t really a guide 😅, I just want to highlight some tech that’s private, sustainable, and importantly, doesn’t require you to be a techy to use.
Why Bother?
Privacy isn’t just about peeping toms. Companies harvest your data for advertisers (or special interests) who want to manipulate you. Companies, wanting your data, employ deceptive design to keep you addicted to their site. Using private tech means the tech works for you, not the other way around.
Sustainability isn’t just about the environment. Tech that’s built to last saves you money and prevents a headache if something small breaks — no need to buy a whole new device.
- Hardware (computers and phones)
- Operating Systems (the stuff that powers your computers and phones)
- Email, web browsing, search engines, and other stuff
- social media
I love talking about this stuff, shoot me a message if you have any questions!
