    nah, every little step is good and this ‘perfection or nothing’ attitude is very damaging to anything, including the personal and collective fight for rights and privacy.

      It can be sad to realize that perfect privacy and security can’t be achieved, but on the other hand, what you can’t change are things such as Intel ME, proprietary blobs in android or the linux kernel. It still pisses me off, but unless the FBI specifically targets me, there’s no reason to worry about this, and so I don’t. I instead focus on minimizing data collection, and being in control of my software, which is doable.

        The issue is that you want privacy on a network designed to connect everyone and everything in the world. Not saying it’s dumb or a futile effort but you have to acknowledge that being private and being connected to the Internet are diametrically opposed concepts.
