  • Using Vivaldi more than, and soon instead of, Edge
  • Tutanota subscription for extra emails (might also get one for Proton at some point, one can never have too many emails)
  • Koffr for medium-sized cloud storage instead of Google Drive
  • LanguageTool for small text cloud storage and instead of Grammarly
  • Mistral instead of ChatGPT and sometimes instead of Google Translate (I can tell it to show its work)

And soon(weeks/days from now):

  • Linux as main OS instead of Windows

How has LanguageTool been working for you? We have very similar journeys - the only other difference being that I used Firefox before, so I stay with it for now - but the move away from Grammarly I could not (yet?) make...

So far so good, but I've only used it recently and mostly as cloud storage.

LanguageTool as cloud storage?

[โ€“] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I save my texts there on one device and access it on another. Bam. Cloud storage :P

Smart! I use Joplin and Koofr for shorter notes. Switching to LibreOffice Writer from Word, and shared files, for longer texts. But all depends on how you like to write ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ
