how do i prep for the digital surveillance crisis worsening? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I have no idea what anyone should be doing, but I'll tell you what I personally am doing:

  • emailing my representatives over and over
  • emptied all cloud services and all personal big tech accounts (can't do much about the work ones..)
  • getting acquainted with Linux, VPNs and Tor
  • learning to flash custom ROMs
  • testing said custom ROMs
  • digging into app permissions - even graphene comes with things enabled that I realized I want to turn off (like ad privacy, printer services and android services that enable nearby share which I personally don't use)
  • use Obtainium and F-droid for apps
  • testing out p2p services to see which ones are useful
  • stashing Linux isos, so I hopefully always have at least one that either doesn't have age verification or one where it's easy enough to rip out
  • downloaded "linux from scratch", but I'll admit I haven't read it yet

    Not just influencers, but also politicians and news media. I have a master's degree in statistics, and it's not at all uncommon for politicians and media to misrepresent scientific results. Correlation does not equal causation. If a study hasn't been peer reviewed, I wouldn't say that it proves anything just yet. Studies on a non-representative sample aren't generalizeable to the population as a whole. And so on..

    Högst sannolikt med Sverige-ID, Sveriges variant av EUs digitala ID. Ett problem där är att (vad jag vet) finns ingen fungerande variant som lever upp till de krav som EUs egen lag ställer på tjänsten.. Förutom då att jag tycker att det känns tveksamt att bli leggad till höger och vänster online

    Every interaction with elderly mother turns into an argument (programming.dev)
     

    (This is a pattern that has been going on for a lonnnng time so I don't think I can write it off as early dementia.)

    Basically, my mother wants me to come visit her more, talk to her on the phone more, but she disagrees with every single thing I say. If I'm passionate about something, I'm wrong. If I found a new great band, they're bad. If I like a book, that genre sucks. If I dye my hair, that colour looks too dark, but if I dye it back, it was better before. So naturally, I have started to share less and less. Then she gets snarky at me for not sharing anything. But when I do, it's wrong. Apparently, if I enjoy a singer that SHE HERSELF likes, I'm wrong about that too. And if I dare to ask a rude question like "what did you do this weekend?" she'll snap at me that she's sick, so not a damn thing of course. How dare I.

    Why does she nag me through voice messages and texts to come visit, if she dislikes everything about me and every word that comes out of my mouth?! I feel bad, because she's physically very frail and limited and could have anywhere between 6 months and 2 years left. But since every interaction with her gets toxic, I want to have as few of them as possible.

    Has anyone been in a similar situation and how did you cope?
