There is a specific kind of dignity in using software that doesn't want anything from you.
My Jellyfin server doesn't remove episodes due to licensing disputes. My RSS feed doesn't hide posts to force me to pay for "reach."
It’s not just about security, though that’s a huge gain from it, it’s about the relationship with the machine.
We got so used to being the product that we forgot what it feels like to just be the owner.

To save data expense and server load: Do you think it would be useful to know the size of a website before loading it? I mean, in the search result page. It could promote a lighter web. Is there any firefox extension to know it in Android? @ecosia

Dare to be forgotten.

We have all been trained to think if we did not document it, it did not happen. We have turned our actual lives into content, constantly performing for an audience that isn't even really watching.

There is freedom in the undocumented. If you stop worrying about how a moment looks, you will start noticing how it actually feels. You no longer ask, "How will this look?" and instead ask, "How does this feel?"

Privacy is not just having secrets. It is having a life that belongs to you and not a data center. Some things should not be for sale. Some things are better when they are just yours.

What if the most important thing you did today was something nobody ever found out about?
