    Nah, dude/dudette, I’m done churning butter. If you have to change gear every two seconds because the bellend infront of you couldn’t navigate a straight road it just gets annoying.

    Also handbrake start at a hill is for amateurs who don’t know their transmission (⌐■_■) yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

    Always has been that way, at least for the loud and hypocritical fraction (they still use tons of proprietary stuff, they just don’t talk about it)

    I pity the sane supporters of privacy and open software that don’t treat it like a cult, getting thrown into the same pot as those clowns

    This “holier than thou”-rhethoric and superiority complex really starts to get annoying.

    Feel free to donate your car, TV, PC, smartphone and kitchen appliances or turn them in to the nearest recycling center, because their schematics aren’t freely available as well.

    This also spares you the need to wipe the chips of every commercially available electronic, because the microcode of those chips is not FOSS.

    Also the Cisco infrastructure that acts as nodes for the web aren’t FOSS, so please refrain from further use of the Internet.

    After that you can claim to be the literal Jesus Christ that saved the world from evil software



  • Sometimes those extreme privacy preachers remind me of doomsday preppers.

    I too reduced my data finger print, started using uBlock, thought more often if the data in a registration form is really needed for the service they provide (and didn’t register when in doubt), and so on…

    I don’t have Facebook, WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter (anymore), the only things I have are Reddit, Lemmy and Mastodon.

    Still I don’t inspect every bit going through my network with Wireshark and PiHole to see, if some packet sent while watching a movie may contain personal data. At some point you gotta live a little instead of full-time fear mongering, doomsday preaching for the tech apocalypse.

    I have reduced my digital fingerprints by a large margin with common sense, I don’t need a 100% privacy speedrun, what counts is that you do something. And the effects show, especially in the form of less spam and recommendations for items you’ll never need.

    Google knows which topics I search for, big whoop, wouldn’t be much of a search engine otherwise.
