#Privacy is not just about today. Privacy is largely about years from today.
And nobody knows what's going to happen years into the future.
That's something that I think a lot of people continue to miss.
Some piece of information that was completely innocent, say, in 2021, might become a serious threat in 2025.
Who will have access to that information? How will the social context change? What will the legal environment be?
Once a piece of information is out of our hands, we lose control.
Why does it take soooo long???

I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.
On the artistic side, to dub all content under the Creative Commons license. Thereby, ideally, only using tools and resources that are #FLOSS #OpenSource. #nobot
