Enshittification aside, any new technologies you find yourself relying on/using regularly?
This can be anywhere from hardware or software/apps.
I recently started up a CalDav/CardDav service (radicale, think like your own private Google Calendar and Google Tasks that can also be synced on multiple devices) on a VPS. One step closer to degoogling myself.
I would say youtube autocaptions have gotten pretty good. I often download and read the transcript instead of watching the annoying video.
Which tool(s) do you use?
To get the transcript? Either copy/paste from the web page, or download with yt-dlp and clean up the.vtt with a python script.
