I work an IT and even a coworker called me out for trying to protect my privacy by leaving google services as much as possible and using GrapheneOS, running PiHole with unbound. I don’t know how people can work in that field and still be blind to all the privacy concerns.

What weirded me out at first in IT was gazing at all the big tech tools with no remorse. It kinda made me question - with all the telemetry, logging, analyzing data in your own apps nobody ever cares leaving some much own traces at big tech overlords.

I’ve sseen the same thing. Sadly, for most ppl, convenience beats privacy. If something is 1% more convenient, they will pick it no matter how awful it is. That’s how big tech enshittifies everything. They bank on 99% of people putting convenience before anything else. Even before the future of their society. Most ppl do not understand how powerful information is.
