Good question, and I just want to add my input as a framework for how to think about this:

Airplane mode is a software feature built into phones, and the idea of restricting it from connecting to the internet would work for what you want it to do; HOWEVER that requires you to TRUST the people who make the software, and I think nothing good could come from that. Smart devices have cameras, microphones, GPS technology built in; all of the tools necessary for something to spy on you exist in those devices, it is just safer to not have them at all unless you are an advanced user who can take appropriate measures.

I’m not an advanced user, so I leave my devices at home when I want to minimize my risks. Paranoid? Sure, but it’s not a constant anxiety inducing fear of being tracked, I see it more as a basic safety measure like wearing sunscreen or carrying an umbrella.

stay hydrated

There are no consequences present for the criminal actions taken by members of the elite class; it stands to reason that reminding them that they are still beholden to us, the lower members of society, even if the justice system is not working, is the best course of action.

I learned a lot this year. I think our media exalts the peaceful bloodless protest, because it is a comforting lie to think you are an honorable person for being passive and not resisting.

I like gen ai and I think this rule is a nice gesture towards the other side. It’s a good practice to cite your sources when you’re online anyhow.

I’m not an advanced phone user, the deactivating of apps confuses me… I think I have also seen things get stealth reactivated on updates (my samsung). Hard to trust if this helps anything…

My relatives think their amazon echoes are not spying on them because they opted out of being spied on as a tangential example

In real life people think it is weird that I don’t use apps; even if this is obvious to us, we are also a bunch of anarchists on a defederated internet forum. Explanations and examples like this will help us protect the normal people who don’t think like us (yet).

Im reading it now, thank you.

Lately people are starting to come around to ways social media makes people sick, and understanding consequences of the information age; from my experience the first casualty of this was not our attention spans, but our will to resist. Apparently just telling people your opinions on things anonymously gratifies your ego just enough without having to sign a petition, or stand outside in a line. “I’m so passionate about this subject I spend every waking moment talking about it online.; uh yeah I can’t make it to the protest sorry, It’s like a 30 minute drive and I have work in the morning.”
