If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

Claude ai is my favorite ai. Its ability to easily track a conversations and iterate based on previous questions and results is awesome. I've used it a lot to work out ideas and see what they would involve to bring to life.

As a person who cares deeply about privacy, I'm also a walking contradiction.

I'll often do things because they are easier or more continent. Sometimes you have to pick your battles.

High anxiety and adhd don't help either.

I hate google but maps is still the best on an android.

They... Meaning every American consumer
NEW: Trump just posted that he’ll introduce blanket 25% tariffs on day one on ALL GOODS coming in to the US from Mexico and Canada.

He really wants Americans to pay more for everything.

What do you do to protect your privacy?

It's good to know that bluesky still has the random follows of people who want you to look at their pictures and send them money.

Started using @grapheneos.org a couple months ago. And while not always convenient definitely better then stock android.

Though remember, you still have to make choices that protect your privacy. It's the internet still.

The Technology the Trump Administration Could Use to Hack Your Phone
Other Western democracies have been roiled by the use of spyware to target political opponents, activists, journalists, and other vulnerable groups. Could it happen here?

Lots of people think privacy isn't a big deal. Companies already have our info, I have nothing to hide.

Just like most people don't undress in public, why let your data be tracked and horded. Because one day it will matter. Today it matters.

Security engineer. I'm not a pro but have opinions. I could be wrong take it with a grain of salt
