I guess a lot of us do some form of privacy/security theatre. I’m at least doing it quite a lot of it, and it’s difficult to stop thinking of new things that could (but probably never will) go wrong.

So instead of hearing how safe and cool your setup is, I’d like to hear how you simplified things and stopped the (hopefully 🤔) needless overthinking.

    Amazing question. A few years ago I started joining degoogle reddit communities and watching privacy youtubers and decided to embark on the journey of privacy and security.

    Initially, all this is daunting at first but I feel way more peace of mind now. Now I can live peace of mind knowing nobody can snoop in on my messages, emails, or calls. I know there’s no mic in my phone phoning to google. My computers don’t ping to Microsoft. The thing is you never stop worrying, with the way technology changes and your setup might change. But you know that it has been worth it because you don’t get any scam calls or have your sensitive information posted online.
