So what you're saying is... don't wear any panties. Useful advice. scribbles in a notebook
But also the defeatest logic of 'it is useless because everyone else is accepting it' is so ew. Think about if nobody ever made adblocking capabilities 'because it is too late and we are inundated, so why even try', if nobody ever self-hosted anything because 'they have all our info already so what's the point of stopping now', if everyone jumped for joy at airport security checkpoints with fingerprint, cameras and biometric scans since 'fighting the system is useless'. shivers
Resistance may not be a tidal wave of change immediately, but if we don't push back against stuff, we are 100% fucked. And not the fun kind.
Or wear multiple panties so it gets confused.
because I don't need to be part of the problem. I can go remove the gps module and wrap the esim in lead foil because I see the value in that.
Yeah this is true. My partner's car has a front facing camera that easily has enough resolution to ID license plates. Rear cam too. It could very easily log the plate and an image of every car that drives near it. No amount of (legally) wrapping your car in tinfoil will stop someone else's vehicle from reporting your movements.
