I’ve heard some good things about https://www.fastmail.com/, was planning to give it a try at some point. It is not a full fledged replacement for Google Workspace sadly though.

It is not usually necessary, assuming good diet, unless you are doing ultramans and/or trying to get the last 5% of athletic performance.
I may be wrong though, just trying to defend regular food.
The last paragraph doesn’t have to be a problem though
It is not yet, but the trajectory implies it may become a problem down the road. We're, sadly, living this decade, where you can no longer ignore where a certain service is heading and how it monetises itself.
Mandatory "don't put Signal and Telegram in the same sentence" notice. Not to be a snob, but Telegram is not "secure and private", all chats are not end-to-end encrypted by default, everything is stored on Telegram's servers with "forever-ever" retention. The end-to-end encryption is opt in, uses a dodgy encryption algorithm and has some limitations in terms of who you can contact and from what device etc.
Telegram is owned by Pavel Durov who also created the largest Russian social media platform VK, which later was overtaken by Russian state as a tool for crowd control and propaganda. Even if we assume that Pavel no longer has any ties with Russia and its "government", his biography should still raise at least some questions around whether one should trust Telegram.
And finally, Telegram seems to be going the "everything app" route lately, which makes it a one stop shop of personal communication, public channels, news, bots, stories etc. (you name it). While it is not a bad thing in objective terms, these features are not built with privacy in mind, as that would pose quite a technical challenge. This means that Telegram's privacy and security will only be sacrificed more and more to get more of the social features out of the door.

I recommend just eating your veggies
OpenSCAD does the job for me, though I’m not particularly experienced in CAD things. I’ve tried FreeCAD and Fusion 360 (on Mac) previously and they just look too confusing for my taste.
With OpenSCAD I can at least approach the modelling in the same way I approach things at my say job: by just writing some code 👩💻

The enshittification of the internet shall continue.
We will fight and we will lose, as depressing as it sounds. The vast majority of people just don’t and won’t care.
I mostly organise things digitally nowadays, but I did start using Traveler’s Notebook recently for scratch notes and “mind lists”.
Taking quick notes is just so much better and faster when you just jot it down, in my opinion.
And the “mind lists” I keep really help me to commit new concepts to my memory more efficiently. Basically, I keep a list of concepts / fancy words I encounter when reading books, Wikipedia etc, and then periodically revisit them to try and recall what they mean. Makes a world of different for my ability to remember things, as it’s not getting any better with age sadly.
I guess the point I’m trying to make is that you can do both: keep some things digitally while still have a meaningful and functional use case for fountain pens :)
Yeah, that's about what I've heard from other Framework users.
I run Macbook Pro 13" 2015 as my Linux laptop, as weird as it sounds it gives me great battery life, excellent standby without hibernate, very good trackpad and screen. Basically all I'd ever need from a light coding / productivity machine.
How’s battery life on Linux? I’ve been hearing some not so great things about that aspect of Framework 13”, people seem to blame USB-C modules for draining the battery way too fast.
Done
