Privacy is a marathon, not a sprint.

It's common to be overwhelmed by the constant attacks on privacy we read about every day, and to burn out trying to fix every problem all at once.

This is by the attackers' design, of course. Big tech companies and governments want to paralyze you with choices and actions, so you give up on the fight entirely.

It's okay to take a breath, clean up slowly, and train yourself over the long-term to improve your data privacy health over time.

“Social media and Strava may make it seem like everyone is doing super-cool runs in amazing places or hitting fantastic speeds most of the time, but the reality is that most of the top pros are boring as hell”

A quotation from Douglas Adams

What I mean is that if you really want to understand something, the best way is to try and explain it to someone else. That forces you to sort it out in your mind. And the more slow and dim-witted your pupil, the more you have to break things down into more and more simple ideas. And that’s really the essence of programming. By the time you’ve sorted out a complicated idea into little steps that even a stupid machine can deal with, you’ve learned something about it yourself.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter

#xAI workers balked over #training request to help “give #Grok a face,” docs show

Dozens of xAI employees expressed concerns—and many objected—when asked to record videos of their facial expressions to help "give Grok a face," Business Insider reported.

BI reviewed internal documents and Slack messages, finding that the so-called project "Skippy" was designed to help Grok learn what a face is and "interpret human #emotions."
