    Good to know about that. I’m not from EU tho. Also I’m not in position to help others in person, I’m just trying to survive, but I could help with a signature to give it more reach.

    My comment is because I’ve seen this on Reddit a few months ago in general communities, not just gaming focused ones.

    I honestly don’t care about the state of games, I think people have the decision to stop killing games the whole time, just stop paying for shitty games.

    There are good indie companies doing a great job.

    I think you’re very well when it comes to privacy, but that’s not mininalism, finding private alternatives is different from digital minimalism.

    To me, digital minimalism would be: Go from a note pad app to a physical note book.

    While what you’re doing is going from a note pad app to a more privacy friendly digital app.

    I agree with the digital minimalism tho, I think the less we depend on cloud the less we have to worry about.

    I don’t like the idea of paying too much for privacy, I fear this might be one more of capitalism ideas, creating the problem and offering you the solution.

    So my privacy journey is limited:

    • Listen to all songs downloaded offline
    • Use VSCodium for coding (VSCode without telemetry)
    • Lineage on Android
    • Arch on PC, Windows 10 IoT LTSC (with debloat scripts, no linked account) for games
    • LibreWolf on PC and IronFox on Android, both with LibRedirect enabled for all sites and uBO
    • DNSNet on Android to block trackers system-wide, I also like to see which url is trying to track me
    • All apps are mostly Lineage or AOSP native, Files, Calculator, Messages, Contacts etc…
    • Use pCloud for backup with encrypted files (using GPG, not pCloud encryption, I send them encrypted)
    • I use Lemmy and Invidious for entertainment
    • Tuta as primary email and Proton as secondary

    I think this is the main stuff, as I said, I try to avoid making new accounts, accessing new websites frequently, I’m going the opposite way and trying to de-tech as much as possible. Less digital accounts, less things to worry about.

    I became less dependent of fancy things, a few time ago I couldn’t use YouTube without the app installed, which is very convenient, now I just use Invidious in browser.

    My answer (OP): I use AI for short and small questions, like things I already know but I forgot, like “how to sort an array”, or about Linux commands, which I can test just in time or read the man page to make sure it works as intended.

    I consider my privacy and environment, so I use a local AI (16b) for most of my questions, but for more complex things that I really need any possible help I use Deep Seek Coder v3.1 (671b) in the cloud via ollama.

    I don’t use autocomplete code because it annoys me and don’t let me think about the code, I like to ask when I think I need it.
