I tried to go hard on privacy, but the more you know the more you realize how difficult it is.

So, the best thing to do if figure out who you don’t want to see your info. If it’s the government then you are basically out of luck in my opinion.

I stopped stressing about it when I decided to not let my need for privacy to interfere with my work.

In my personal life, things are more private luckily.

I’ve seen this dude’s videos before, it’s always the same. Whine about how hard privacy is in a monotone voice.

He’s not wrong, but goddamn is it monotonous content.

TL;DR think about your opsec before going full paranoid.

Thats the idea. make everything difficult unless you do it the way they want. Have to call my insurance today to find my account number for sending a payment through billpay as they are basically hiding it because it necessary to pay outside of putting something on their system. don’t want you paying from your system (bank) must put in your card in theirs.

Tries soloing everything, then cries they’re tired…

Tech bros can’t think beyond themselves. When will they say work together, make a group, make your own little groups.

Start with stuff that affects others, like escaping Discord (or only keeping it to help more escape).

Fun story, my neighbor locked himself out of his house last night and knocked on my door to borrow a cell phone to call his wife. I trotted over with a Costco card, slipped it in the door, and had it open with 30 seconds of jiggling.

Sometimes people need to chill and learn to prioritize their security efforts. There are compromises to be made, lines to draw and accept that sometimes where they are is “good enough”. No sense self-hosting stuff, losing contact with friends and family because they won’t install fb anywhere, while they leave windows and sliding doors open to the house.
