For the past year, I've been immersed in the topic of Privacy. I switched to Linux, flashed my phone to LineageOS, changed all my software to one that respects privacy, switched my family and most* friends to Signal, started hating megacorporations and pretty much every government in the world, asked a lot of questions on tiddeR and here. Everything makes sense to me now. I'm a privacy guru๐Ÿฅน. How to move on? What's the next step? ๐Ÿ˜

P.S. if you're just at the beginning of your journey, I don't think you'll find a better resource than PrivacyGuides. Highly recommend it!

You really believe that you've become a privacy guru over the past year? You better teach then. Write blogs about your journey, make it easier for the common but interested folk or even make it tangible for the common folk so they will begin to show interest.

That's more of a joke than something else. I am already spreading the idea of the importance of digital privacy among my relatives, friends and acquaintances like a virus. And I'm pretty good at it. But I recently recommended a Pixel 6A to a friend of a friend of a friend to use without flashing custom rom, so I'm an amogus in some sense ๐Ÿ˜†

And just like Cassandra, nobody will listen to you.
