Email is not skywriting - thanks to SMTP and TLS you can run your OWN mail server and be compatible with every email server in the world. Messaging on any service is skywriting. If it isn't an open standard, it's an owned standard and you do not own it. You can run postfix/dovecot/rspamd/openDKIM on any x86 box and even without PGP, the Paranoia plug for TB makes it easy to know if your coms are fully encrypted. Your hardware, your data. Their hardware, their data.

The fact that Elon Musk has access to everyone's social security number means he can freely attach any hook he fabricates whenever he wants.

So when do we start bashing heads

"Have personal exchanges in person." So the author wants us to just start talking to one another like regular people again?

This is what Musk and his bois are really looking for and collecting. Any personal info that they can get on everyone to eventually use that against you. Kompromat 101

There'll be the breaking of the ancient Western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
And the white man dancing

They'll try to use your goodwill against you by outlawing helping others unless it's through an organization they control and can use the recipeocity instinct the indoctrinate those helped. Eg your neighbor is starving. Theyll make it illegal for you to have a potluck for them bc "food health violation" / not licensed food vendor or whatever they legally say. But it will be legal for a church that supports the dictator to hand out aid to leverage desperation and benevolence for indoctrination.

Also get rid of any social media that is easily traceable to you.

This reads like that book on Severance :)

What book is that?

It's a satire book full of power quotes called "the you you are". It's a Ben stiller show so it has a lot of his base type humor in it. The book is hilarious in a farside type way sometimes when passages are read. The show is fun if you havent seen it.

I'm watching the show right now, actually. I'll have to see if I can find a copy of the book.

Malware is evolving past casual diligence now. Your router could have it, your motherboards bios could have it, your USB power bank could have it. They can hide whole functional malicious computer systems inside USB cables that quietly record whatever you've passed through them.

Never plug your phone into a charger you do not control, a chip hidden inside the cord small enough that the cord looks completely normal, can copy and transmit the entirety of your device
