I just avoid most of that shit. This may be a hot take, it may be impractical to people who are younger than me, or live different lives, have different needs, but for me, I just avoid it. I think it's a generational thing. Generation X, we were fine with forums, and AOL/AIM, and ICQ, and all that good stuff, but when these sites started asking for our real names, I think a lot of us just said no. Some of us stayed on with Twitter for a while, some of us went to Reddit until that went tits up (I mean it's still there but it sucks now), and I'm sure some of us did cave and start using the real-name services, maybe to reconnect with old flames or whatever. But for me, and others like me, we just said no.
I don't use Facebook. I don't use Twitter. I had a MySpace for a while, but ditched it. So I'm not completely pure. I also used Windows through the first couple (major) versions of Windows 11 before switching to Macintosh (well, Mac — the full name hasn't been formally used in a long time). So Apple does have some of the same bullshit as Windows, you need an account, there's an App Store (similar to the Windows Store, and just as useless), and there's technically AI, if Siri counts (we — Mac users, I mean, basically never use it, it's always been useless), but if you just wanna say "fuck the system" while still using something with commercial support, Mac's a solid choice. (Of course, Linux is better, especially if you already have a Windows computer and you're looking to break away, but also, a majority of Linux users consider Windows their safety net, or backup plan. Having actual Macs means no, I don't have a backup plan, I can't just fall back to Windows, unless Windows for ARM becomes viable and supports Macs. I'm all in getting TF away from Windows and Copilot.
Of course, I do a lot of the things the image suggests. I invert my birthday. MM-DD to DD-MM and, for the year, ABCD to ABDC. For a while, this didn't work to make me appear to be over 18, so I'd just add or remove 5 or something like that, but now, my "ABDC" year is over 21, so it's fine. It's also easy to remember, if I need to recall my "birthdate," I do the math in my head and there it is. It's not random and it doesn't look random.
