  • Damn, I would be hoping it would be more inclined to using Linux in the field but who knows, maybe I might find a company that values it and utilizes it daily. I could utilize Windows 10/11 in a VM, which I would be fine using for work purposes. I wish more people would learn how to use Linux. It takes awhile but once you know how to use it, its so much better imo.

    Leave now. I was using Windows for years until I finally made the full switch to Linux last year. I dropped iPhone too as well for GrapheneOS. I may honestly just keep an emergency phone on me and store it in a Faraday bag, I don’t see a point of carrying around a tracking device.

    Use Signal Desktop and have your co workers/family call you there and/or use email. On my resume I heavily point out that I highly depend on Linux and avoid Windows. Its up to them if it will be compatible with the line of work such as becoming a Help Desk in IT. Obviously, if you need to use Windows at work, only use it on your work PC. Eventually I’ll become a Linux System Admin so that’ll help out. I’m so much happier too as I stopped using social media like Instagram, Snapchat, etc. You don’t need that proprietary garbage.

    If you want to go extreme buy an X60 and flash Libreboot on it. Also, check out the LibreCMC R1400 router by ThinkPenguin. Achieve that Richard Stallman level freedom.

    Make the switch, you won’t regret it.






  • This is my father. We have about 10 ring cameras surrounding the house and I fucking hate it. Meanwhile, I’m also a distributor for security cameras and could easily replace all of them for free. He still insists no. He likes that he can easily prey on me when I go outside for 1-2 seconds to grab a drink or go outside for a smoke.

    I already hate feeling watched but the need for audio is just ridiculous. Law enforcement can basically just intercept the feeds and listen/watch you anytime they want to. The FBI abused a spy tool 280,000 times this year, so I doubt they’ll respect your rights, if you even have any at this point.

    I wish I grew up during the days without cameras being on every single building.

    I’ve had some challenging friendships in the past. People I believed cared about me ultimately didn’t. Now that I’m on my own, I genuinely feel more at peace, with much less drama surrounding me.

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with embracing solitude until genuine friendships come along. I’d rather uphold my standards for what true friendship means than cling to something inauthentic.

    How do I convince my family to move onto Signal? We’re missing half the family in the group chat because some of us use Android. BTW, they don’t give a crap about privacy and they know about the Subpoena signal got and are worried looking like criminals.
