@Em0nM4stodon Don't forget to on-ramp new recruits. As long as libre gaming remains undervalued by the freedom/privacy community, we're heading for extinction.

@Em0nM4stodon Unplugging and moving to a cabin in the woods is preferable to living in a digital panoptican and I hate the idea of living like that.

@Em0nM4stodon Thank you! I have an old thread from I should dig up and republish about that: how lack of privacy destroys intimacy, by making it impossible to talk with the people you want that intimacy with because you're always considering what others who are listening in will do with the knowledge of your conversations.

@Em0nM4stodon me, I want a world without these old fucks. fucking die already.

Bruce Schneier expressed it really well back in 2006

We need to make it as difficult as possible for the billionaires and the government institutions they've captured to follow us.

Little things, like using a Linux build instead of garbage "Software-as-a-Service" corporate AI nets. Using, promoting, and funding FOSS alternatives to the SaaS corporate models, and moving as much of our activity (and money) as we can to the fediverse.

Little things we can all do. We know the world is going to shit--any little thing helps.

@Em0nM4stodon They only want a world without privacy for us. They’d be quite upset if we proposed the same scrutiny for them.

@Em0nM4stodon

Politicians and billionaires want a world without privacy for us but not for them.

They consider themselves above everyone else.
