It’s a collective war that I also feel is lost. Especially, when there is little to no policies in effect to stop these data brokers. Unless you live in California.

Yeah, I completely agree. I did this also right before I moved and found out my mental health records were being bought by data brokers.
I totally fell down a rabbit hole with that one. Basically, the 3rd-party software that hospitals and clinics use are subject to sell the data that gets imported into the software.
But, you’re definitely right. I’m pretty sure it’s my rental agency along with everybody else.
When, I first moved here with in the first week I received mail from a bunch of local dealers about my Hyundai which completely freaked me out that they all of a sudden knew what I drove as soon as I entered the state.
I’m not sure how data brokers actually work but they definitely operate like organized crime organizations.
I believe Tik-Tok just shows off the stupidity of humans as a race.
People will do anything for likes or money, like they are a bunch of uncivilized monkeys in the jungle.
This is my biggest downfall with Linux, lack of integration with gaming but I’ll learn to leave without it, I guess.
I do agree having a privacy oriented mindset makes people more susceptible to not communicate with you due to not having social media like Snapchat and Instagram. It’s almost like people forget you.
But, it’s all good, just pick a hobby and run with it. I have been trying to learn programming.
I would say I know the basics of Linux due to owning a Pi and messing around with it time-to-time but no where near experienced.
Even though Windows is very user-friendly. I think Windows 11 might be my last. The amount of anti-privacy that’s implemented and what I have to do just so it doesn’t constantly phone back home is kind of ridiculous.
Off to pick my flavor of Linux.
This is how you get brain rot and die.
I’ll never forget when I went from 60hz to 165hz, everything seemed so fluid and smooth. I couldn’t imagine going back.

Don’t forget that the government owes like 75% of the exit nodes.
