minus-squareinfjarchninja@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·7 days agoReading stuff like this reminds me of why I have been a linux user for over 20 years. Its why I only use AOSP roms on my phones. Its why I have never used any USA surveillance companies. No one needs any of that shit! Its why I get in my car, and visit people I care for, and not send them a message or use facebook to see what they are having for dinner. I wouldnt even know how to turn a windows machine on. My last windows experience was with windows 95. Do you still press a button? I am a retired psychotherapist, 69 years old now, and have seen the devastating loss of our freedoms in my lifetime. we all need to get back to being human again. We are human beings not human doings. My display avatar is in fact a photo from a StoneHenge free festival in early 1980’s. A time when we actually used the word freedom and meant it. I do fear for you younger people and what lies ahead. What will be like in 20-30 years when I am long gone.

So is your car 15+ years old, such that it doesn’t phone home on you? And do you know the locations of and avoid all ALPRs (automated license plate readers)?
minus-squareinfjarchninja@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 days agoI do like surprises. I am a retired psychotherapist, so I value all person to person contact. Anything else is just not human nor fulfilling for me. you are correct. here on Airstrip one, we are the most monitored country in the world, with one cctv camera for every 14 people. very scary indeed. I am an old geezer, nearly 70, so my car is very old, no tech.
