In my opinion, the MOST important thing you can do for your #privacy is get over your aprehension of being "that weirdo" or being "difficult". Not having "the app" is "abnormal". Refusing to use a platform because of a privacy hazard is "being diffiicult".
Avoiding facial or plate recognition is "paranoid".
The first thing you need to do is get the fuck over that. Be difficult, be a weirdo, be abnormal. What's actually fucking weird is being ok with constantly being tracked and data harvested!

High on my list of things that make me anxious is...
Working in GUI, clicking commands, or dragging things.... Accidentally landing in the wrong place, something happens but goes away too fast to see it, and I'm left having absolutely no idea what just accidentally happened to my computer or my files.
Multiply this by a thousand if I'm working with private files I would never want sent to other people.

I misplaced one of y'all. I've been wanting to check in, but I can't remember your username. I've been looking for you to reappear in my feed, as I'll recognize you when I see you... but you haven't shown up. I hope you see this and know it's about you.

@nprofile1q... I'm geting very very frustrated with how often NextCloud is broken. Yet again, I can't sync calendars. "Invalid responses from backend".
If my VPS would allow me to opt out of updates, I would.
