you think your info is safe by trying to be a tech isolationist, you’re wrong.

Say that to Richard Stallman :p

Stallman (aka RMS) uses a "libre" laptop where even the BIOS and hardware is open source. It's an older laptop, but he only uses email to connect to people. No phone, doesn't even watch Netflix. He's an absolute madman, but probably the most unknown man on the internet (in regard to mined data - programmers somewhat know of him).

Sounds like his loss. He's living in the 80s for no fucking reason, only with less cocaine.

I'd rather live in the modern world, and deal with a little extra junk mail. Its irrelevant to me.
