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’ve been enjoying the payment app and personal information verification app in the country I moved to quite a bit. The only previous exposure I had to a centralized app-based payment and/or verification system was China’s WeChat, so I had quite a bit of negative stereotypes with them… but I’m liking these a lot
For additional information: the two are separate apps. Both are private companies (I think?) heavily regulated by and strongly promoted by the EU I believe, and the latter is the de-factor verification system that is used for governmental stuff as well
It’s Me?
Yes. I’m impressed at how well it works
What I love even more though is that you are not forced to use it. I just got a 15€ card reader for my PC and can use that instead of the app as well.
