Any steps I take to preserve my privacy are negated by my inactions of years past, the current actions of my friends and family, and the actions of my government

That said…

I use an adblocker because it makes the browsing experience better and I use Firefox because it makes me feel better about browsing the internet.

I’m in the apple ecosystem which makes me feel slightly more private and occasionally use signal to have certain conversations with certain people

Of course at the end of the day I know whatever I do doesn’t really matter and the worst thing that could happen is I get more targeted ads.

Sure, I could get targeted by the government should it turn evil, but I don’t believe that online privacy would prevent that from happening anyways. I’m just not that interesting of a person so I take solace in that.

Now that I’m writing this.. I’m non religious and I believe in the right to own firearms. These opinions could make me a target or make me more interesting to an evil government. I guess I just hope the checks and balances we have are enough.
