@glitzersachen@hachyderm.io @tante@tldr.nettime.org easy: because electricity is no threat to my privacy. In the digital world there are so many actors, so many of them are too big, can impose things upon me I don't begin to fathom... I don't want my data sold, my life x-rayed. Not by companies, not by political actors. Especially not by right wing suckers (thiel, musk, USA, ...) - not directly, not indirectly. And when smart meters became a standard(?) in Germany, I was quite deep in these topics as well. Things like one can read from your energy usage which TV programme is running, what your tumbler is doing etc. And I cannot live without electricity, so I started designing random energy leechers to mask things like TVs. 🤷‍♀️ (At least Germany made constant monitoring a no go). I just want privacy.

@glitzersachen@hachyderm.io @tante@tldr.nettime.org And yeah, in my private life I can get a lot of privacy on my PC, on my mobile this becomes increasingly difficult - despite graphene and no Play Services. And even on my PC this gets more and more a bit of luck, because one doesn't know which data is actually exfiltrated to which LLM by which software. And browser based stuff, SaaS? The hell. And I don't want my life in the "hand" of idiots with AI. I just returned from a vacation with a modern car... Hell no! Never! And if the last bastion falls to the hand of AI... after jia tan (google or chatgpt it) I am not willing to accept massive source code parts created by actors with unclear motives. Especially not, if the big tech has stolen all our work to enable their ahole business. Stolen.
