"Privacy is too important to let it wither. Who you are and what you do is nobody's business. You are not a product to be turned into data and fed to predators for a price. You are not for sale.
You are a citizen, and you are owed privacy. It's your right.
Privacy is how we blind the system so that it treats us impartiality and fairly. It's how we empower our citizenry. It's how we protect individuals, institutions, and societies from external pressures and abuse. It's how we mark out a space for ourselves in which we can freely relax, bond with others, explore new ideas, and make up our own minds."

Recently, I have tried being idle on my commute to work or walks.
Not listening to podcasts or music, and instead just being there: looking at things on my way like other people, stuff you can find on the street.
Our brains hate being bored/idle. It takes some effort to form that habit, too.

It's that time of the year when you have a bit of bandwidth to update a gazillion (va. 250) accounts to new email aliases:
- login to website, often 2FA, create alias, set new email address on site, verify, login with new email, 2FA again, next.
Today was a good day, so much that the alias service has rate limited me hahahah.
End goal is a simpler, more granular setup and cheaper than my previous setup. #privacy #identityAttribution
