I can empathize yo. I’ve been a long time digital privacy advocate with a track record of being very outspoken in public about my views which has occasionally resulted in some weird looks from my normal-ish friends. Hell, I get pissed these days in response to age verification, ai facial tracking, low energy Bluetooth tracking, etc… But I try to catch myself before spending the emotional energy on it because long term that isn’t good. When I’m unable to do that, I utilize that anger and stress to do something to combat those efforts whether that’s spreading the word, programming or developing software to mitigate it or offer free software alternatives.

I think its a normal response. People tend to forget that humans are still animalistic and really shouldn’t live like this. Anyways, I’m just a random person but I’m always down to chat if you want to vent :)
