Privacy is only dead if we let it die. Be careful about the all-or-nothing mindset in data privacy, it can do more damage than good to the cause. While striving for improvements, do not forget to cheer and celebrate each small win.

    I like this article. Perfect is the enemy of good and all that, and trying to keep some privacy is worth it, especially now.

      To quote General George Patton, “A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”

      BTW, there is a riddle I want to say to illustrate how important that is… tell me? What is always coming but never truly arrives?

      ___The answer: tomorrow

    As someone who is the first to go “yeah, but so-n-so does this-n-that,” I needed this reminder of the thin line between “being informative” and “being a killjoy.”

    Caveats are nice, but I still shouldn’t discourage folx from making better choices.

    I often find myself defaulting to the “All or nothing Mindset”, I find it reasurring to hear/read something different occassionally. Especially as striving for the “All” can leave me exhausted about it all!
