I operate under the assumption that NOTHING digital is even remotely safe or private, and act accordingly. If I do things I don't want the government knowing about, I leave my phone at home. If I'm having a conversation I don't want recorded or monitored, I leave my phone in the vehicle or at home. I don't send messages on any digital platform that I wouldn't want law enforcement seeing, and I assume they see and read everything I send. I don't use digital payments of any kind for anything I don't want the world to be able to see. You cannot trust anything digital or anything with a microphone, camera, or connective abilities.

    It is sort of self-explanatory when you think of it... essentially you are creating another identity tree. Sometimes people get too hung up on the idea of being completely Anonymous when in reality you are trying to keep "identity trees" separate.

      maybe a better saying is "If its a free product offered by a for-profit business/organization, your likely the product" KeepassXC is a good password manager because its 1. open source 2. localized to your computer in an encrypted database. 3. offers 2 factor authentication in the form of a physical qb key or a secondary authentication file kept on a usb stick. Cloud based password managers are very convinent, but always come with the downside of your info being hosted on a remote server that is a potential hacking target.

    Should we sacrifice ALL of our comfort for the sake of anonymity? One could use a password manager like bitwarden, for example, and have balance. I use keepass but it is hard to convince people to use it, bitwarden is clearly the option and I am moving to it so I can help others. Another example is the browser, you can use chrome and make it kind of private but at the same time conviniant. It is easier for many people and not everyone is doing sketchy things or not everyone is being followed. I think it is possible to find a balance, otherwise it is better to not use a phone at all.
