New Privacy Guides article 👁️⛔️
by me:

Increasingly, surveillance is being normalized and integrated in our lives.

Under the guise of convenience, applications are sold to us as the new better thing, but this convenience is a Trojan horse.

If we do not stand firm against this increased surveillance, even when it's inconvenient to do, we might soon lose our privacy rights.

Selling Surveillance as Convenience

Increasingly, surveillance is being normalized and integrated in our lives. Under the guise of convenience, applications and features are sold to us as being the new better way to do things. But this convenience is a Trojan horse.

Hey any bilinguals or polyglots, what are some words English should borrow? Words or descriptions that don't really have perfect English counterparts or just sound cool

Boosts appreciated

Trekking Across Switzerland, Guided by Locals’ Hand-Drawn Maps

Nostalgic for a time before ubiquitous connectivity, a writer ditched his phone and relied instead on serendipity — and maps made by people he met along the way.

This is a delightfully subversive account. You can't be fired if you don't work there (or you do work there but no one knows you do).

Not even getting questions anymore from my bestie's family when I set up on the floor. 😅

Behold, my spot! 👌✨ (The bottom blanket is one I brought with me and I was effusively told to take on any cushions and blankets I wanted to make myself a spot. 😊)

@GatorFan I hadn't seen any posts from you for a bit. I am hoping all is well with you and your family. 😊🤞

I just walked through our screen door -
On it rather.
I looked for it, didn't see it and thought roomie had left it open for me to get my groceries.
Next thing I know I am on the ground.
I took the jamb off the house.
It looks like a very localized tornado targeted us 😭

So is it not normal to finish a social gathering and then write gratitude-filled prosey recaps and impressions? Bc I recognize a lot of what I do is odd and unusual but this I never thought twice about until tonight.

I played a card game with 3 males, all very passionate about their interests including this card game and not a once did they talk down to me or get upset at me for how I played, and I think I am healed a lil bit more.
