Great sadness permeates from every pore
Resolution is the distance of forever
In complete exhaustion I decide to face it
I bathe in the emptiness I cannot contain
Some go entire lives without reflection
Folding inward I drag spacetime around me
It’s Thursday

I expect it to work nicely for broad categories, but might need tuning beyond that. Would be cool to also have a custom option where you can save links to posts to learn what you’re looking for. Could also be an option on all posts via the 3-dot: “Influence discovery feed”

It’s reasonable for some people to not have come to this conclusion on their own (how important it is)

Especially people who haven’t seen as much technology

But ya, let it be known, you should always check every setting and consider offline and private options whenever possible

It’s now survival

recommended basics:
- cookies (in RE: to privacy & how to clear them)
- private tabs
- ad blockers
- DNS (basic definition)
- DNS (Cloudflare vs your ISP or Google)
- VPN (how to use it on your phone & desktop)
- secure mail (proton vs gmail)
- read all of your phone settings & app perms (seriously)

I don’t think people like hearing this, but in the world where there’s a computer around every fucking corner, people have to take the time to be more savvy

It’s absolutely critical. Even just knowing the basics will help you

Privacy overreach is a massive problem, not only for greed but for hatred

We have to start small with protecting ourselves as much as we can

It will make a difference

There are plenty of free steps we all can take to make it very hard on these bastards

Serkent Framwell @serkentframwell.bsky.social · 5d

I wonder when that would be required in today's world

Serkent Framwell @serkentframwell.bsky.social · 3d

Privacy is a big part of this rebellion, but it is talked about the least

If even 1/2 the planet took proper steps to protect themselves, they WILL feel it

We can prove to companies data farming is not welcome & it’s not a viable revenue system

We must reverse this standard

Apple Music & Bandcamp iOS apps:
- cancelled ⛔️

Solution:
- Private tabs w/ proper VPN & DNS protection for YT and BC
- Also I’ll be buying more music in general & manually putting to my phone with a nice offline player (that doesn’t track me)

Enough is enough with this bullshit

The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.

Highly recommend this album

One of the more rare ones where I won’t skip a song

There's also a value for blocking malware

Serkent Framwell @serkentframwell.bsky.social · 5d

Challenge for all my followers. Figure out how to log into your home router and verify what DNS servers you are using. It sounds complicated, but it's not.

If you're not using a DNS value like this, it's a smart time to make the change:
developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/ip-a...

1.1.1.1

IP addresses

Get IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for Cloudflare DNS resolvers, 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.1 for Families.
