Totally agree that most of the tools are there, but how many trials have you personally duplicated? The average person?

So our brains were crafted to intake "reality" at a specific speed and quality. We can't see things at the atomic, much less quantum reality, nor understand the massive scale of the planet, much less the universe. Most "facts" are more beliefs from what others have suggested to be, than individually researched facts. Even our scientific method is a bit wanting in this area, since if we hear X, how can we prove X? We just need to take other's word that they did the correct process, didn't lie during any steps, didn't have any bad data unknowingly, especially in a culture where reproducibility is not a high priority so most scientific papers are not thoroughly tested and retested

That's roughly our skeletal social structure around "facts", and we're heading face first into a world of deep fakes and misinformation, to an extent never seen before in humanity. So maybe we should all extend each other a bit more patience and kindly help each other through these uncertain times

So it'd be cool to avoid the trackers in the first place, things like this and pihole still allow profiles to be built.

Issue here is the chains get tighter every time people try to "fight back". Maybe parallel societies are the right path.

I'd pay $50 a month if they didn't track, mine, and profit off my data. It's more than the service, it's how they treat their customers.

It depends. Ideally it's plug and play, but it might not be, so ideally make a backup of the data in case you wipe it.

Anyone know where else to find good tutorials and lectures?

Encryption is not dead, this only is referencing md5 which has been known vulnerable for over a decade.
