You can opt-out of Facebook.

You can opt-out of Google.

But you can't opt-out of being in public spaces. And you shouldn't have to.

I suspect that a lot of people are mistaking OEM guidance for hardware requirements when it comes to #windows11

For instance, I highly doubt that Microsoft will refuse to let you install Windows 11 unless you have a specific web cam or something like that, it'd be a terrible business move on Microsoft's part, plus how would they even know that Windows is being installed on a machine of a certain size?

That and the source that people are getting this from even reads like a guide for OEMs

COVID-19 has often brought conversations about data privacy into the spotlight.

Just like contact tracing apps, there is a right way and a wrong way to create a vaccine passport.

Be wary of your government doing it the wrong way.

I've decided that I'm going to, as a challenge use a Windows Phone as my main phone for the next week, I'm going to make a video series about it but in addition to that I'm also going to make a series of blog posts about it every day over on Odysee, in fact I just put up the first one a moment ago!:

It amazes me that there's still a recently updated Signal client for Windows Phone, it's open source too, the FOSS community keeps old tech alive!

Instagram for kids is a truly bad idea, also in regards to privacy: https://www.vox.com/recode/22385570/instagram-for-kids-youtube-facebook-messenger

If your kids need to communicate online, better make them familiar with privacy-friendly alternatives! https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/how-to-leave-google-gmail/

Looks like YouTube has decided to mess with another creator because they dared talk about a YouTube alternative, this is absurd, as I've been saying over the past few days we need to get off YouTube

Faceless surveillance terrifies me.
