    I’m curious what steps we can take as individuals to further protect our privacy online.

    Also, what do you think we can do as a society to change the status quo? How do we get more people to see that this is a significant problem?

        This severely inhibits this part of their question. If the only platform you have to communicate with people are places like here, you’re preaching to the choir

      I’m curious what steps we can take as individuals to further protect our privacy online.

      A few to consider:

      • Ditch Facebook and Whatsapp.
      • Invest in a VPN
      • Switch to Firefox for web browsing
      • Install GrapheneOS on your phone
      • Pay with cash where possible
      • Switch to XMPP with OMEMO encryption for messaging with your favorite people

        Hope your pipe situation got resolved easily.

        We had a pipe burst right at the entrance of our crawlspace a few weeks ago and it took a bit to realize. It was a nightmare and now we have to get some foundation work done.

          Wow, ouch! That is my nightmare!

          Thankfully, mine was not nearly as bad. We just bought the house a few months ago and a bad repair to a reservoir attached faucet led to my yard being completely flooded. Luckily a neighbor alerted us to the issue and we were able to circumvent the water before it got into our foundation.
