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.

What about Anti-social media like Twitter, Facebook and Reddit?

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.
