I 90% agree. The 10% being due to the bygone waves of feminism, which, personally I always saw as being hateful and incendiary.
I’m all about the flower power, c̶a̶t̶c̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ feeding more flies with honey, etc. I don’t see the world needing more hatred to solve any of its ongoing problems with hatred…

I think you can only simplify things so much without making the entire thing pointless. As others have already said, install GrapheneOS yourself — it’s almost as easy as making an online purchase. And remember the phone is inherently a tracking device no matter what — especially if the cellular/radio stack is active.
I don’t think there’s any more shortcuts that can be taken if security and protection from surveillance are actually important.
Agreed!
My struggle is to not get bitter/angry at these situations. I have to keep reminding myself that there are about a billion other ways in which I am ignorant of things that are equally important. And that just a few years ago, I too, was completely on the big tech bandwagon (but only reluctantly so).
Your pain is so very relatable, pal 😢
Very insightful! Thank you for this comment @msage@programming.dev

Not really Canadian, but it may or may not have some Canadian contributors on the team.

Both are free (gratis) and open-source, so I think it should be okay for me to comment about them here.
In medical terms that concept is called “social determinants of health”. Very real stuff that’s been well-studied and taught in medical schools for many years now.
I hope that one day in the future, even if its a few years away, you’ll write in your diary that the reason for your not needing anti-depressants anymore is “having healed from the patriarchy”.
About your freezing up/dissociating: I too live with PTSD and sometimes I find my own patterns of behaviour to be very difficult to change.
But difficult just means difficult, not impossible, right? 💪🏽
Over time I think we can get better at coping with trauma ❤️🩹
Thank you so much for including nonbinary/gender nonconforming folks, even though this is a gender-focussed community ❤️🩹
