A lot of people confuse privacy with anonymity or secrecy, but that's not it. You cannot achieve full privacy, and the time spent doing that is not worth it for most people. But controlling who has access to your data maybe a life changing decisions, it can be the decider on wether or not you get scammed, hacked or surveilled. You have to realize that when big tech steals your data, most of the time it's not even going to look at it, it's simply going to sell it, mostly to advertisers, who then pass it along when they've used it enough. You don't know which hands it ends up in. Imagine using Alexa, Amazon knows what times your home is empty, even if it doesn't sell your voice recordings(which is also a possibility) , just the information that your house is empty for a set period is valuable for a robber. So yeah sure you can be fast and loose with privacy it's not a big deal, but I think you should be at least mindful of what information you're giving to whom. Also just because 95% of the world is stupid and ready to get scammed, doesn't mean you have to do that too. But the choice is ultimately yours.

Friedrich A. von Hayek predicting Bitcoin in 1984: I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government. We can’t do so violently — all we can do is, by some sly roundabout way, introduce something that they can’t stop. *Friedrich A. von Hayek was a Nobel Prize-winning economist and philosopher known for his defense of classical liberalism and free-market capitalism.

📱 Will Google sell "Google Chrome"? The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is pressing Google in an antitrust lawsuit, demanding a judge order the immediate sale of the Chrome browser to a trusted rival. The DOJ argues that Google has created an "economic Goliath" through illegal practices, dominating the online search market and disrupting competition. Chrome, which is included by default on most Android devices, has been key to this global expansion, controlling approximately 66% of the browser market. The DOJ had previously requested that Google stop paying companies like Apple to keep its search engine as the default, but now the focus is on selling Chrome as a final measure to reduce its monopoly. Google claims that these actions could harm consumers, the US economy, and national security. The final decision is expected to be made in September of this year.

You don’t just change. You reprogram. Your habits come from emotions. Your emotions come from subconscious patterns. Study the code running your life or you”ll stay stuck. What you don’t rewrite, you relive. Your mind is running on old code. You were programmed before you had a choice. 1) Watch Your Patterns. • What cycles keep repeating? • What triggers you? Pay attention your reactions This will reveal your programming. 2) Trace It Back Who taught you how to think? Were these beliefs yours, or did they come from family, school, culture? 3) Audit Your Inputs Your mind reflects what you consume: - Music - Media - People - Conversations If the input is trash, the output will be too. 4) Reprogram Through Action Thinking different isn’t enough. You got to move different. Start making choices that break old patterns. 5) Rewrite the Narrative When did you first start believing that doubt, fear, or limitation? Who benefits from you staying stuck? Replace it with a new belief that aligns with where you want to go. 6) Build the New Until It Replaces the Old. The mind learns by repetition. What you repeat becomes the new normal. You’re not just breaking habits. You’re breaking generational curses. Most are ignorant to these facts. If you came across this post you now have awareness. If you have the awareness and still take no action. You’re now being stubborn and that becomes the real problem.

Just watched Adolescence on Netflix—a disturbing look at how social media influences can shape young teens. The fact that every episode was shot in one take, with no cuts or pauses, is seriously impressive.
