Or how to Protect the Most Valuable Thing You Have
A Thread
1/ Why People Suck at Life 🤡
It is crucial to understand this:
Many stumble because they overcomplicate. Complex solutions + inconsistency = failure.
If you want to succeed on this journey, take small simple steps.
2/ Fake Problems vs. Real Problems ‼️
Ignoring real problems makes them worse. Online privacy and security is a real problem.
Don't be the person who thinks they have nothing to hide. Be the one who takes control of their data.
3/ How to Improve Your Digital Sovereignty? 👑
You don't own your data because you gave it away for free. Simple solutions don't mean downloading the first app you see.
It's about being perspicacious. Self-analyze and question who gets your data.
4/ Assess Your Digital Ecosystem 🧐
Know what you're dealing with. Audit your apps and services. Are they secure? Privacy-focused? Research and choose wisely.
5/ Minimize Data Sharing 🚫
Your data is gold.
Don't give it away.
Limit information shared online.
Treat your data like a valuable possession.
6/ Embrace Privacy-Focused Tools 🔐
Opt for tools designed to protect your data.
Explore open-source options for transparency and security.
7/ Strong Passwords and 2FA 🔒
Weak passwords are a no-go.
Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication.
But stay away from any Google app that does this for you. For instance, use Bitwarden and Aegis.
8/ Regularly Review Your Privacy Settings 🔄
Tech evolves, so do settings.
Keep your privacy preferences up to date.
Be in control of the info you share.
9/ Conclusion 🌐
Protecting your digital sovereignty isn't about going off the grid. It's about informed choices.
Your data is valuable, and it's worth safeguarding.
Keep it simple, stay vigilant and perspicacious, and reclaim control of your digital destiny.

Just because you're using VPN doesn't mean you are safe.
It will be a difficult journey. https://t.co/sC2YQXUSjL
Because the Matrix was not a sci-fi, but a documentary.
First thing to do for your online privacy is damage control - stop using technology that is spying on you and transfer to safe (!) open-source solutions.
I often feel that stoicism is attack by the government. Being stoic all the time will be harmfull for you. There is time to fight and there is time to take whatever life throws at you.
But not defending yourself against rising tyrany isn't stoicism. It's cowardice.
My account is not for crying about bad Big Tech. It's an exhortation to keep your online life for yourself and become fully sovereign.
This is must-read for everybody who has his dog name as a password for all acounts and says: "I won't remember many different passwords"
When open-source password managers like @Bitwarden exist. https://t.co/rGhk8vIrOZ
The more I write, the more I like writing.
The next thread was almost from single flow.
AI texts are cool, but they won't be personal and uncensored.
Tick tock...
Having gold bars but no cash $USD is delusional.
What Bitcoin and Privacy maximalist communities have in common is idea of "educating" the unenlightened.
Then they are sad that there is no mass adoption.
(Most) people don't want to be educated, they need simple solutions to their problems.
Absolutely true. Can't have mass adoption without privacy apps having same or better UX.
@ProtonPrivacy @Bitwarden @brave might be good examples, but Proton Drive could be better (ex. auto-sync). https://t.co/NHe48pZgOb
👍👏 Grasham Nakamoto's law is cool, but won't help with adoption. https://t.co/sIb147RhA3
What you think you need: unusable browser with 10+ extension
What do you actually need: simple browser with uBlock
Ignorance https://t.co/JIfKqlIIBU
I'm not gonna write banger posts because it's weekend.
Go outside, touch some grass.
Privacy and Security must be simple.
Nobody with little tech knowledge will implement it if you send them website with 5+ options for one app.
Browser? Tech Savvy - Hardened Firefox/Non-Tech Savvy - Brave
Simple as that. No BS.
Works side job 8h/week
