Your #data is your digital #identity - protect it like your life depends on it... because in some cases, your life may literally depend on it.

With breaches - and police searches of social media - happening daily, it’s not paranoia; it’s #precaution

Encrypt, use fake data, stay anonymous as much as possible, and question who you share with. #Privacy isn’t just a right; it’s a #necessity

A quotation from Ellis Peters

You do what you must do, and pay for it. So in the end all things are simple.

Ellis Peters (1913-1995) English writer, translator [pseud. of Edith Mary Pargeter, who also wrote under the names John Redfern, Jolyon Carr, Peter Benedict]
Brother Cadfael’s Penance, ch. 16 (1994)

Is the Overnight #Train A #Luxury or a #Necessity?

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2025/03/19/is-the-overnight-train-a-luxury-or-a-necessity

For me - nowadays especially - #VPN is a #necessity. Any #service and/ or #website blocking such a necessity, tells me everything I need to know about it. Up yours.

#Necessity is the mother of #invention. #China #innovates and shakes up #American #Capitalism. #DeepSeek does it cheaply (and might potentially be moving fast towards #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence (#AGI). While undermining #AmericanCapitalism is not necessarily a bad thing, is this rocket-speed #evolution of #ArtificialIintelligence (#AI) an #existential #threat to #humanity? Keen to hear your views.

@theguardian_us_environment Yo ppl I really do believe that we will get to a point where. #Water and #Protien (eg. meat, fish, poultry) is gonna become so fucking expensive, you WILL be forced out of #Necessity to eat something else. Or beat the fucking shit out of someone to have some meat.

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
-- Francis of Assisi

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities." — Dr. Seuss — — — #DrSeuss #quote #quotes #nonsense #fantasy #laugh #reality #necessity #living #life #bearable

Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of darkness on the confines of two everlasting hostile empires, — Necessity and Free Will.
