Today seems like a good day to point someone to my guide on personal data pollution.
"""
Our goal is to render as useless as possible the kinds of data that are: scraped and sold by data brokers, collected by ISPs and companies for targeted advertising, used by Fortnite players and other malicious individuals for doxxing attacks, identity theft, and account takeovers, or by abusers, stalkers, governments, and law enforcement, for surveillance and harassment.
*also data that is scraped and used to train AI, but that wasn't much of a concern back when I wrote the guide.

@TomWellborn and I hovered over typing this because the full force of nsa will be weaponized against us. We need to stand tall, take care of each other and build resistance.
Edit: spelling

I admit it, I don't really get this whole "going to a political rally" thing.
I mean... why?

@falcennial @XenoDangerEvil Apocalypse survival stuff should be shared and centrally stockpiled. Climate change and associated disasters can and will happen anywhere, it's always best to hope for the best but definately plan for the worst.

it is highly probable that among the psychopaths and dictators, no one will compare to Hitler in terms of appearance in the long term - who will remember Putin or Trump in a few decades?
one Hitler joke a day...
Community building is the opposite of fascism. Talk to your neighbor. Be jovial and find commonalities with people. If someone is having a tough time, listen to them and see if you can help. Have a few weeks of food stored just in case there's a short emergency, so you can share. Get a generator to help when power goes out. Get chlorine tablets to help everyone get potable water if need be. Get a ham radio and learn how to use it. If fascists come for anyone in your community, fight them

@Judeet99 @falcennial unfortunately, democracy has the seed of its own potential destruction built in. You can always vote to end democracy itself.

For many of us, this final full week before Election Day brings with it fear. Personal fear as well as fear for our country. Fear you feel in your body, in your stomach and your muscles. The sort of fear that can paralyze. We can’t just snap our fingers and not feel it. We can resist it. 1/
@Keab42 thinking is hard. But it has great rewards to those that value it. It seems like people don't value their own agency or contribution much. But I don't know. Growing up we all made fun of TV for the same thing. But TV was 1 way so we couldn't witness the people succumbing to corporate media as viscerally. I'm conflicted. I don't know if culture has changed or that now I have to witness it and it bothers me that I see it.
@nixCraft i was 100% Linux for a few years in the late 90s and early 2000's. I have since gotten a windows gaming computer and am interested in how it would deal with a dual boot situation. I hear fairly good things about steam integration. (Always kept the Linux server..... but daily driver went back to windows for work compatability).
