I got me some new devices recently. Researching and adding privacy/security add ons to Firefox was surprisingly enjoyable.
The idea that I have some measure of control over what I experience - and what I give in return - is novel to me.
The -10 or so extensions work well enough. It’s still the internet, but it’s an earlier version. Better than what currently exists.
Your long lost son, perhaps
I’ve just started using newpipe and it’s great. I download audiobooks easily for when I’m working overnights and a few rooms get no mobile data
Flex that chaotic good!
I’ve liked my 22 moto
Yeah, I tend to think the first one to posit a statement should also be the first to supply evidence
Awesome photo choice!
“What’s in the box?”
I agree with your point - they’ll hold on to all data bc it’ll be useful in some context some day.
But as a ~40 y.o. U.S. citizen, I also share the previous viewpoint. My economic outlook has been downgraded several times due to external political factors and I’m (internally, at least) jaded and cynical as all hell. The best uses of my personal data would be to steal my loose ~$200 or to jail me and profit off my slave labor.
I still use privacy apps to mitigate unpleasant surprises and am against mass surveillance in all forms, but fuck the bottom feeders at the top of the economic food chain. I hope they are supremely bored when sifting through my bland porn tastes, i.e. - “boobies”.
Thanks!
I’m not super learned in terms of tech, but Google’s VPN seems like it would serve to funnel all your personal data right at the people we should be keeping it from
That’s such an adorable threat!
Looks great!
