Talking to normies about privacy: - Lemmy.World

‘There’s no point fighting it’ or ‘Privacy is already dead’

The arguments that make my eye twitch, It’s such a defeatist outlook but seems like the most common nowadays.

I’ll never give up. I’ll shove my 256-bit AES encrypted USB stick so far up the glowy asses they start vomiting shit and USB drives. I still use YouTube and shit tho. I try and convert people. I’ve been successful getting quite a few people on Signal. The problem is that if there isn’t interoperability and everyone’s friends aren’t on it some forget to even check the app or don’t get notifications. If you leave message contents in notifications you’re fucked anyway. Lol I feel their pain, but I wish I could get people to care before bad things happen. I mean, bad things have happened. We just gotta keep it up.

I just have a hard time hounding people when I still use YouTube and Discord etc because that’s where the people and shit I wanna use are. So obviously that’s the same for them. I’m highly motivated, understand the tech, and realize how glowy everything is. If I go to all that work just to no longer be able to watch creators I like, and talk to a large percentage of friends, then I might as well just not use any tech. Then other people’s tech will track me. So here’s what I say publicly!

Fascists and authoritarians can eat my fat greasy shit and I’ll shove it down their ugly fascist throats until they vomit shit and blood and die.

Haha in Minecraft of course!

Haha they’ll be scratching their heads what I could possibly say worse in private. Also, violence is only okay if it is defensive. Till then grab your routers and learn some cough ethical hacking skills.
Btw this is brought to you by Minecraft
