Why is that the Normies had shifted from "I have nothing to hide" to "Privacy is not real"???
(lemmy.ml)
An excuse to still be right.

Damn, how did you get three complete troglodytes in one place?
Wouldn’t it be better to at least put a modicum of effort in to have some privacy, than to put zero effort in and have none at all?
If everyone started using encrypted messaging software, using devices that are resilient to all but the highest levels of forensics, and stuck to social spaces which prevent bots and alt accounts, hosted on servers in countries their own nation's law enforcement doesn't have access to, it would massively increase the costs of surveillance. Every layer of that increases the price.
When you let surveilling you become profitable and easy, expect it to get worse. More obtrusive. After all, you've displayed compliance up to that point.
Yes, that’s it. As I’ve told friends on several occasions, you know why I encrypt my online life and guard my privacy as if, you know, freedom depended on privacy? Because fuck them, that’s why.
It takes my time and effort, but I just can’t let the bastards win just that little bit more easily. All cops and corps are bastards (ACAB).
"No, they would never track us. But if they were, it would be a good thing."
The one saying they use copilot for math problems is the worst part. It demonstrates their complete lack of critical thinking.
Copium
Microsoft Edge, based on Google's Copium engine-
Copium indeed
Don't post screenshots of text
Why? It's because they never arrived at their current behavior by a systematic progression of logical steps. Most of the behaviors we exhibit aren't that way. We just offer a post-hoc explanation/justification. They use edge, so they defend their action with any argument assertion they can think of.
It's also (sort of) because they want to tip the proverbial scale towards their current use. Change takes effort and can be irritating. They have their list of positives about edge (faster, easier, etc.), and they downplay the negatives such as privacy.
Reddit be like.
Yeah a very reddit moment

(Obviously you don't need to start where I'm at but everyone's goal should be to eventually become as secure as reasonably possible)
I just want RISC-V and open drivers on everything.
Same, I wish all technology was shared and open :3
then you can forget any compatibility, but you know. I think privacy needs to be sensible, and it should not go in such ranges that highly limits usablity

Is that the same as the misnomer or fallacy that privacy is dead?
My "progressive" friends are this way - "everyone already has everything, whatever who cares"
Trust in privacy, fight against GAMAM!
