Hi 👋 just shared the site with one of my buddies and he told me he doesn’t care much about it because there’s no way you’ll be 100% privacy enforced since you’re using an iPhone and sharing your location, name, birthdate , personal files, photos.
I’ve to say this gets to me but on the other side I’m also respectful of everyone‘s opinion because after all, this is what makes us special
How are you handling these circumstances usually, do you say something?
aside from the usual counterpoints (it’s not hiding it’s deciding what to share), the main thing I see too often overlooked in such diatribes is that the decision you’re making now is coming to bite you in the ass five or 10 years down the road.
our chicken brains can’t comprehend that, we need a feedback loop; i.e. hot stove, touch it once - ouch, you ain’t touching it no more. that works.
but, light a cig and 20 years later you might get emphysema, wear a mask or you might catch COVID and get the long kind, don’t let the app with its kompromats firehose away your data or you might get pigbutchered or whatever - we don’t innately understand those things, not really.
so we have to make an odyssey’s pact - in our (rare) moments of lucidity we need to ensure that we’re not in any position to make any of those slip-ups.
it’s a forever moving target and you’ll never achieve full security. but you’re better off with it than without.
