Privacy consciousness

I think I'm reaching unhealthy levels of being unable to cope with surveillance capitalism. Some random person caught my face for a few seconds during a whatsapp video chat and my day was fuarrrking ruined, seriously Learning about surveillance capitalism is life ruining. I hate how all the stupid normalcattle get the boot shoved in their mouth every day and do nothing because of muh convenience, or even worse, try and drag the handful of sane people left in the world into their bullshit because they're scared of the crabs who don't want to be in the bucket. It's not rational to hate them because of the 24/7 algorithm driven propaganda they get fed, but it's definitely infuriating.

>>12669 You're not alone. I used to be an extrovert. Now I go outside maybe twice a year. I think I found a way to deal with it. In the retro tech community. Hopefully it's enough to make me feel safe outside again. Like you I serious hate getting captured in videos because I know my facial features are being carved by every AI algo known to man. Makes me sick. I hope you too find an out. Best of luck to you.

Amazon admits to giving Ring videos to police without permission, surprising absolutely nobody. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3557545-amazon-admits-to-giving-ring-videos-to-police-without-permission/ Remember that you do not need to know what is happening outside your front door at all times.

Having your face in AI is going to get crazy when it's mixed with targeted dream incubation. Whats stopping corporations from using your likeness for creating mass dream files where you and other lainons are just random background faces as filler for structured dream sequences that get fed to anybody who hears or watches certain advertisements.

>>12676 Tesla probably does the same thing. Those cams are recording fuarrrking everything.

>>12669 Agreed, though I just don't have the energy to spend it on constant anger. I try to focus on improving my personal life and privacy first and helping some people around me in that matter second (really helps not to go insane, folks actually listen to you sometimes if you are stubborn enough and keep adhering to your principles no matter what). Focusing on creating something, anything really, but especially art, really can aid you in distracting yourself from overthinking about this hellscape. Do what you can, and focus on what is important personally to you. Anger won't help. Action will.

>>12669 I've been spending the past decade slowly building up a homelab to selfhost everything so I don't use any cloud services. Also I use a pinephone pro with mobian.

>>12669 The way to get capitalism out of your head is to make ever-fewer choices based on monetary incentives. Surveillance capitalism is just an outgrowth of capitalism as-it-is today. You can't change the whole economy (I presume, or you wouldn't have opee's PoV) so the next best thing is to change how your mind relates to it. That will have to include "more distance" because as you say the current "how it is" isn't good enough. fuarrrk jannies, this is not a "flood".

The digital age brings with it the end of all privacy and the end of secrecy. There's nothing you can do.

its easier to feed false data than to close all real data loopholes. Data poisoning is the way

>>12669 its real and they think theyre magic when they let apple gooblr gramcchat facial regognise you with their telephones you would be shocked what is the normal person life amd the normal person way of thinking you think your social media is showing you retarded awful wait until you go to the park outside of your allotted zionist public recreation time its worse its worse than you will ever know

and the fact is those stupid assholes from the retard class and the special schools and the kids from school who could not spell their names or do additions to 10 have jobs and use the public spaces and so do the girls you did not like some of these people like you and some of them believe GOD is the SPECIAL BRAIN MACHINE amd want you to receive special instructions from GOD (their mothers friend, the stupid one, shes basically a gypsy)

>>12669 privacy consciousness is a double edged sword, the more secure you get the more alienated you get from most of your peers. that said, show me your friends and i'll show you who you are

>>12669 in Russian, "everyone's connected" is known as an adage tied to a certain Orthodoxal ritual "все одним миром мазаны" and the corpos reinvented the equivalent to the myrra

>>12669 By being paranoid and letting it ruin your day you're ruining your own life much more than being accidentally captured on a camera for five seconds could. >>12944 There's way to mitigate risk. The biggest thing is not using services that scrape you for data and when engaging with them to actively poison your data. >>12942 Not engaging with the system is fine, but unfortunately totally unplugging from Capitalism is a fools errand. You really can't just spend your whole life being a NEET because at the end of the day you have to eat. Monetary incentives aren't inherently bad and skipping out on them can just harm your ability to prosper in this flawed system. >>12940 This guy gets it. Making a better world is possible but living in fear isn't going to anything.

>>12745 TV studio freaks already target peeople from families they don't like with crap like "oooh foreshadowing that like some relative of yours will die", it'd just be more oldhat crap.

>>12745 just wait until everyone is in an AI porn generator >>12669 If you've gone outside in any public places in the past 15 years the chances that you got caught in someone else's photo or video are pretty much indisputable. Got to be wise with where you choose to live and who you choose to be in contact with.
