Yes, I am projecting, I will fully admit that. Which is why, as a watch person, I went with a smart watch solution that doesn't mine my data.

    Appreciate the honesty, friend. You are awesome.

    I never got into the wearables but I for sure use my phone. My phone is degoogled so I use health apps from F-Droid which help with tracking some metrics which also sync with my Nextcloud instance only, or do not request to have internet or network permissions.

    I do think, like you that having some into IS useful and in that no government Left or rRght leaning should have your ior my nfo. That's just 1984 -type nightmare fuel.

    Yeah, data mining is a huge deal for a reason haha. I use Gadgetbridge for my Pinetime, which is nice. Steps, battery, heart rate - and it's all locally stored.
