I joined the Techlore Forum! - That’s a big deal for me, because I can indulge in talking about privacy within an interested and quite enjoyable community.
I’m pretty far into my personal and professional (I work in IT) privacy journey. But I am mostly surrounded by non technical people who just don’t really care, so I can provide solutions (especially at work) but can’t really talk with people about these topics.
Here is some background where I am in my privacy journey:
- Been using Linux for decades.
- Been using AdBlockers for many years.
- Been using a Password Manager and FIDO2-Keys for years now.
- Been using Signal for years.
- Degoogled my Phone and my life almost completely a view years ago. - I still use Youtube regularly.
- I am using an end-to-end-encrypted E-Mail provider since degoogeling.
- I am self hosting a lot of services, like Nextcloud.
- I removed streaming services like Netflix and Spotify from my life some months ago and am still in the process of adjusting my relationship with media.
- My most embarrassing and persistent week spot is Amazon. I’m still figuring out how to reduce my engagement with that company.
