I use ProtonMail, and I was thinking, “Damn, it’s spectacular not being tracked… but hold on a minute. Perhaps less than gmail, but still at all. And what about browser fingerprinting, and cookies, and even fonts!” I ended up in that feedback loop we all end up in. Perhaps ignorance is bliss? What is something you (might) wish you were ignorant of?
I’ve been searching for knowledge my entire life, and I love sharing what I have learned. Helping others with whatever struggles they may have gives me more pleasure than doing the same thing for myself. I don’t care if it is helping fix computers, doing math, physics or chemistry homework, helping replace a chip on a broken electronics component, or basically whatever you may think of. I’ve been around the block once or twice - I spent basically all my free time over the past 25 years nerding over anything and everything.
I would hate to be ignorant and lose the capability of helping others or myself.
