Outside of politics, have you ever had a position on something that you have doubled down on and refused to move an inch on to the point of upsetting someone? Were you right? (reddthat.com)

ALL: I don't own a smartphone, dumb cellphone, landline, or anything else. I don't own a tablet either.

I only use my computer without any camera's, microphones or other feedback systems that social media can use to listen in or watch what my eye is focused on. I limit my online time to less than 2 hours a day, and often go several days without it at all.

I do have a media player that uses yt-dlp too download a few youtube channels I like, but with all the ads and whatnot removed. It's as anonymous as I can get to limit what big tech knows I've consumed. Censorship and book burning start by knowing the source of the offending information.
