Ah, the call of the total information warrior - “If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide”: do they track your phone wherever you drive? Ever drive past a crime in progress unknowingly? Can you prove you were not participating in the crime? Even if it is the dead of night in the warehouse district on your way home from work?
Frankly, I think the people with more to hide are more virtuous than I. Labor organizers, activists, etc. If you’re working to overthrow my country, awesome. Best of luck to you.
But it’s also fair to say most of us will not truly benefit from writing a custom boot loader and after a certain point this is just a hobby.
For me it’s because you all never went far enough. It’s not about data privacy. It was always about data scarcity. You all wanted content creators to get paid while also using that same platform to keep your stuff private. Except the way content creators get paid is working for websites and corporations that steal your data and create profiles that information brokers can trade amongst themselves to build larger profiles where they don’t even need you to use any of their systems just to build your profile. But you like random bearded guy that makes cat comics. We should have always been hostile to anyone using the internet to create content in order to sell it.
The extent some people go to refuse their privacy being stepped on. These people like this are pathetic. /s
BRO JUST LET THEM DO WHATEVER THEY WANT YOU’LL BE FINE AS LONG AS

At least there are cameras tracking everyone’s movements now.
And local cash-accepting taxi companies have been replaced by two cooperative companies, so that loophole is almost closed.
if these folks were serious about their privacy - they would be running fucking Qubes
Are they in the room with us now?
