Creative Pros Embrace FOSS for Data Control
Big tech's reluctance to relinquish control has sparked a movement towards Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) among creative professionals seeking to manage their digital footprint.
FOSS offers a viable path for users to regain control. For creatives, key projects include privacy-focused communication tools like Signal for secure messaging and ProtonMail for encrypted email. These tools enable users to communicate without the fear of data interception or misuse.
In the realm of creative suites, FOSS provides powerful alternatives like GIMP and Krita for image editing and illustration. These tools allow creatives to work without the constraints or data collection of proprietary software.
Nextcloud stands out as a self-hosted collaboration and file storage solution. It enables users to avoid the tracking-heavy platforms of big tech, instead providing a secure, personal cloud that respects users' data sovereignty.
Creative professionals are turning to FOSS to control their digital footprint. By adopting tools like Signal, ProtonMail, GIMP, Krita, and Nextcloud, they can protect their data, avoid tracking, and maintain sovereignty over their digital presence.
