@WashedOver @Clymene cant stress just how much I disagree here if you’re serious

Parental teaching, while not perfect, is the way to go to atleast lay some groundwork for thigs like sex ed before you step out into world

By the time you reach the playground, its too late and you can easily be taken advantage of

Anyone else, apart from parents, have ulterior motives

@EherVielleicht the sauce for the film/drama actually lol

@EherVielleicht save us all a few clicks and te us the sauce of this

@bytor9 yes it can be tricky.

But I really don’t have a Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon or F*ckbook account nor use any of their services. Occasionally once in a year I might visit if given a link but that’s pretty much it.

As for a list, I might launch a blog soon. Follow me on Mastodon for that! Meanwhile, here are 2 great lists-

1. https://www.privacytools.io
2. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/

You’d want to use FOSS software as much as possible!

@TootSweet Its said a modern human can’t live without using Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and f*ckbook.
They dominate that much of our lives.

Wanted to change this notion. So I don’t use a single Big Tech service. Why? How about-

1. Their monopoly which stifles innovation
2. Their potential influence which can meddle in anything from politics to even your day to day life decisions
3. Worst of all, their privacy record
4. Addiction problems, especially in kids

Hope that’s good enough
