Interesting… I like the idea of referencing, or creating some sort of tagging/category system. I’m not sure about pushing it to limits like a Wikipedia, solely because it’d be so much content to manage.

But hey, that’s why I made it open source. With the help of the community, it makes a lot more feasible to create and handle. So never say never on that.

Thanks. All links have been just me so far, but I do think the project has some real value and would benefit from contributions.

What kind of wiki did you have in mind? What would it do?

Added this article to idcaboutprivacy.

The project is open source and only requires basic Markdown knowledge to contribute.

If you have any other privacy-related articles (especially those that talk about consequences), it’d be great for you to contribute.

I can’t emphasize how important it is for you to control your phone, especially notifications. Every notification is literally a mind hijacking attempt. Regardless of the type of notification, it’s something that disrupts our thinking and our flow.

Some of them are necessary—but most aren’t.

All the native apps will of course try to get as much permission from you as possible, including notifications. Don’t allow this permission freely.

Get really strict about which apps need to send you notifications, and when. Take it from a dude who used to give free reign to all apps for notifications.

Once I started thinking in a more digitally minimalistic way, it made a huge difference. Running GrapheneOS actually helped with this a lot. But you don’t need GOS to do this and feel the difference.

I got some notifications turned on, but most of em are silent. So they still get delivered, but they’re not time-sensitive. They’ll be there when I check my phone next. I don’t need em interrupting whatever I was doing or thinking.

TL;DR: Be strict about which notifications you allow, and when. It’ll do wonders for your thinking, productivity, and mental health.
