Privacy is not a myth. Keep resisting.
This does remember me the cyberdeck.cafe cookies popup with the button “Resistance is Futile” (uBlock automatically removes it).
This is something that sneaks up on you as well. And all that started a few years ago when I finally decided to get myself my first smartphone and tried to optimize data usage and battery life. I then realized that not only some apps and “system processes” were using battery and data when not in use, but that there wasn’t even given a way for me to stop it from happening. I also got creeped out when I moved to work in another building and Facebook started giving me friend suggestions of people who worked there. Location wasn’t even enabled on my phone.
And now today I have no mainstream social media account, run GrapheneOS on my phone, Linux on my computer and have migrated to almost entirely FOSS software and apps. I have become the crazy privacy obsessed weirdo.
Not a weirdo. It is the only reasonable thing to do. Unfortunately, many people lack education about the true extent of mass surveillance / profiling and the potential massive repercussions that it can have for society à la Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Some devices will still passively check SSIDs, even with WiFi “off”, then they just look for users who have similar nearby wireless networks.
Bluetooth? Maybe even ultrasound to detect nearby devices?
I don’t think you can have privacy online anymore. The best thing you can do is make a lot of noise, so it’s hard to determine what data is real, and who it belongs to.
Every day I slowly become more of a paranoid Schizophrenic
You need to these days
Os everyone here on graphene OS or other linux privacy phones? Or you guys only draw the line when it comes to desktop OS?
I got a Pixel specifically to install GrapheneOS on it after going on a huge FOSS/privacy kick last year (coincidentally around the same time I joined Lemmy…)
Edit: thank you for those in reply who helped to “annotate” this meme
The software pictured are:
- graphene os
- new pipe
- Signal
- MPV
- libre wolf
- KeepassXC
- Aurora Store
- fdroid
- Free Tube
Bonus. tux
- tux
Tux is not software, it’s a software mascot :D
I specifically didn’t list Tux as “Linux” because I thougt that would get me in trouble in this community
Are… are we the same person? Steam is my only exception.
I vote for adding the tails os logo too
i already fear that there will be car companies on the left. teslas can see through the cameras
i read it already. i recommend watching techlore’s tesla privacy video. i’m thinking about buying an somewhat drivable vintage car with no tech outside running the car itself. my recent fav is 1988 964 911
1988 964 911
That’s a classic. You would be lucky to get one for 50k rn, and I’m sure it won’t get any cheaper in the future.
Haha yeah sounds like that person hasn’t checked Porsche prices in the last 5 years
i didn’t say that it’s cheap? it’s my favorite one inside that cluster, and why do you recon that i wouldn’t be able to afford one, just like that?
It’s just that if “somewhat drivable vintage car” is your criterion, an aircooled Porsche is going to be way in the upper percentiles of what you could get. People who are willing to pay the ridiculous current prices usually do so because they aren’t cross-shopping with anything else. A somewhat drivable vintage car could also be an NA Miata for 1/6th the price.
Bruh not VLC ?
MPV ftw.
