You know gamers, I really love how this era of capitalism we’re living in is just companies trying to spy on us as hard as possible to know what exactly to advertise to us and if you show any form of rejection to it, then you get called a schizo by your friends.
I’m familiar with that, but that is just for passwords. For the Nexus breach, how can I know if my own ID was in that? Am I just cooked, chat?
Yeah, it worked out good. I’m not gonna say it easn’t a rocky road to get there. It did take a lot of awkward conversations, but I feel we’re better off now.
This is when comes the part everybody likes talking about but nobody likes doing, you gotta set boundaries. I had a ton of friends like that who would vent to me and then never do the inverse, so one time I just straight up told a friend who did this to me to not talk about her problems with me if she didn’t want to solve them. Saying I was sick of hearing her complain to me and if she did, then I’d turn my brain off and become a wall.
You gotta do that. Friendships can be difficult like any relationship and these are going to be needed. You can’t have a relationship with no boundaries. I’ve tried. They don’t work ever. So long as your friends are willing to respect them or at least try to, you might have something good. Have these difficult and awkward talks with your friends. It’ll honestly make your friendships stronger and better.
Did a gas leak happen in here? Why are the comments on this post so weird?
Maybe some people are a bit too ‘all or nothing’ when it comes to privacy. Youtube isn’t the best, but what Gamers Nexus does is incredible investigative journalist work and they should be celebrated for it. I’d have had no idea about this had they not done the work they did. Fuck Google, for sure, but let’s not toss the baby out with the bathwater.
Privacy is really more a spectrum than anything. A spectrum of what are you willing to deal with and how much is it going to impact your life. At least that is how I see that. Anyways, on that note, fuck LG.
How do we get the average person to care about this? Like okay, as dumb as I am with tech, I probably am more techy than the average layman.
And guess what, they do NOT care about this shit. Most of my non-tech friends still think GrapheneOS is a thing criminals or paranoid schizophrenics use.
They also tend to not care about age verification things. “So what, you show ID at the bar or store to get alcohol, what do I care?”
Like really gamers, how can we make the common person care about this at all? How can we communicate to them it matters and will impact them?
