I ditched my smartphone over 5 years ago, and will NEVER go back. In fact, I don’t have a phone of any kind. They are surveillance/psyop devices, and they are turning people into biological robots. The scifi show Dollhouse is basically where this is all heading.
I used Photoshop for over a decade, took several classes, spending thousands of hours using it. I quit using it when they wanted me too pay for it as a service. Recently I tried GIMP, and though it took me a while to find some things, I’m now doing everything I could do previously with Photoshop, ironically except link layers. That was the last thing I needed to fully endorse GIMP, and it seems to be exactly what I needed. Fantastic work!!
In terms of money, nothing. In terms of time? Several hours per week using offline methods. Keep in mind, I don’t own a phone at all, and only use my computer for an hour or 2 a day at most. I do as much as I can in person.
Do they not have web based apps?
At least they put it in writing. They suspended and deleted all of my 15 years of posts, comments and moderating without even a good by. Fuck Spez, and Fuck Reddit may they reap the whirlwind.
Anything Thiel touches is compromised. All he does is steal your data so he can use it too brainwash you…
I just re-watched Ghost in the Shell SAC Laughing Man last night, and wouldn’t mind seeing these things get hacked with the Laughing Man logo replacing any face it was looking at, re-writing signs, etc.
Yep, Larry Ellison, the new owner of TikTok USA is absolutely no friend too Privacy. He got his start with a little database project for the CIA called Oracle.
I fast (no food) yearly, sometimes multiple times a year. I just finished a 6 day fast a couple weeks ago. It was amazing, one of the easiest fasts I’ve done, and I hiked every day, read a couple books and taught my book group about fasting and all of its benefits. I highly recommend EVERYONE fast for at least 5 days. It will change your life.
ALL: I don’t own a smartphone, dumb cellphone, landline, or anything else. I don’t own a tablet either.
I only use my computer without any camera’s, microphones or other feedback systems that social media can use to listen in or watch what my eye is focused on. I limit my online time to less than 2 hours a day, and often go several days without it at all.
I do have a media player that uses yt-dlp too download a few youtube channels I like, but with all the ads and whatnot removed. It’s as anonymous as I can get to limit what big tech knows I’ve consumed. Censorship and book burning start by knowing the source of the offending information.
That smart phones are surveillance/psyop devices, and that they own you, not them. I’ve been 100% phone free for 5 years now. I’m a 30+ Year IT expert. Also, fuck A.I.
76 days to notice an expired cert!
Agreed. My reply follows similar thinking as you.
I disagree with your assessment. The Guidestones weren’t there to help society rebuild after an apocalypse. It was built to scare you into thinking an unavoidable, likely human caused, cataclysm was coming. The builders clearly infused “bad human” into it’s message when they say to keep the population under 500 Million. It’s all part of the narrative to keep people chasing the cheese at all expenses. This creates ample opportunities for someone else to get rich off your fear. It’s similar to the gold rush. Who got rich in the gold rush? The merchants.
Because the U.S. government used the 2001 Microsoft Internet Explorer Antitrust hearings to blackmail Microsoft into government servitude: implanting NSA backdoors, not patching vulnerabilities, disabling system administration tools, constantly hiding or moving useful features. Remember from the Snowden leaks that the NSA’s favorite prey is the System and/or Network Administrator who holds all the keys? But what about the guy that makes the keys, wouldn’t he be the biggest prey?
*** Except Reddit and partner owned bots, which will then have no competition for your attention.
Reddit is a pay to play psyop network, nothing more, nothing less.
