The list of companies that don't want user data is pretty short.
So when one of us says something, the rest of us should say it louder.
We are with @DuckDuckGo on this one. Parents, schools, and teachers should get to choose what's right for their kids.

Premarital sex makes women crazy. It also makes women resentful towards men. At the root of much of our cultural misandry is the fact that men have used women sexually and women are now bitter over having been used. This is not say women in general are victims of male sexual predation. Women are very much complicit in their own misery and have consented to their own destruction. They have been deceived into thinking sexual "liberation" would actually be liberating instead of enslaving.
We cannot fix the mutual hatred the sexes have for one another today without a restoration of sexual morality. If there is one irrefutable sociological truth that has come to light since the 1960s, it's the Bible was right all along, and separating sex from the covenant of marriage has been bad for everyone - men, women, and children. We cannot rescue our culture from suicide without rebuilding sexual morality.
Harvested what was left of the Rosemary and Italian Parsley. The dehydrator is off and running and what didn’t fit was hung in the tent to wait its turn while starting the slow drying process with fans and a dehumidifier.
A new month and a new monthly food for thought from @TimberHawkeye. What do you value most and how you reactor don't when people don't live up to what you value most.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this.
Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.
Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:
1. The Main Switch
This is the main setting Google shows you, but it's not the only one.
Gmail (Desktop):
⚙️ Settings → See all settings → Smart features and personalization → Uncheck "Turn on smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet" → Save Changes.
2. The Hidden Switch
Turning off the first setting isn't enough. Most people stop there.
On the same settings page: Google Workspace smart features → Manage Workspace smart feature settings → Turn off both checkboxes → Save.
Both settings need to be turned off.
3. Your Phone
The settings don't always sync between devices, so check the Gmail app separately.
Gmail app → Menu (☰) → Settings → Select your account → Turn off "Smart features and personalization" → Confirm.
4. Delete Gemini History
If you've used Gemini before, your chats may be saved, and some could be reviewed by humans.
Go to myactivity.google.com/produc…
→ Turn off Gemini Apps Activity → Delete Activity → All Time.
This removes your past Gemini chat history and stops future conversations from being saved.
5. Move Sensitive Emails
Turning off Gmail's smart features helps, but for truly private emails, consider using a separate service.
For medical, legal, or financial emails, use a free Tuta Mail account. It offers end-to-end encryption and doesn't use AI to scan your emails.
Keep Gmail for newsletters, promotions, and less sensitive messages - if you must.

Do you realize the significance of the Resurrection? You would never forget if your best friend died for you, but do you remember when Christ did?

Heaven exists. Hell exists. But in between them there is Purgatory, a place of purification, redemptive suffering and hope.
And the souls in there NEED our help.
This is what the Church teaches about Purgatory and how YOU can help free the souls who are in it:

This video is from 2023, but our concerns about Section 702 remain the same. The government must stop conducting warrantless surveillance on Americans. Learn more about Section 702, which is up for reauthorization this month: eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/sa….

🚨Google wants to kill Android freedom - At Tuta, we say Google must keep #Android open and free.
Find out how you can help stop this.👇
🚨 Less than 168 days remain before Android becomes a locked down platform!
Google intends to force all software developers to register with a centralized Google service before their apps can run on the biggest mobile operating system on the planet, regardless of whether those apps are distributed via Google Play.
➡️ Visit Keep Android Open’s website at keepandroidopen.org for more information about why it’s a problem, and how you can make your voice heard.
As supporters of open platforms we have consistently encouraged developers and alternative app stores to refuse to participate in this program, and to spread this message throughout the Android community. ✊

Mullvad sponsoring GrapheneOS servers is more privacy infrastructure built in a single reply than Congress has produced in a decade of "privacy legislation."
They also accept Monero, because real privacy companies don't need your name, your email, or a screenshot of your homescreen.
