While thinking of ways I can enrich my local community, I figured I should host cookouts/potlucks as a venue to share some useful stuff with the world. I want to cover things like degoogling, basic computer skills, etc. as that’s where my skill set is primarily, but I plan to host guest “host’s” to cover a wider breadth of knowledge.

If you were one of my neighbors, what would you like to see covered or cover yourself?

    Ah, sorry it came off that way. They were good suggestions, but I do question if any of it would matter in this context.

    If OP were to work NSA dick picks into a related casual conversation, that may very well make some progress. And maybe someone would ask for alternatives, which could go somewhere closer to what they were originally talking about.

      Thanks I appreciate that. I do know that approach works because I’ve seen it tested, and done it myself

      It’s definitely a challenge… They just can’t understand why privacy matters. But you can squeak in ideas on the fringes. They will never understand why it matters systematically

      Just planting ideas, like “say the word and I’ll remove all your ads” or “don’t buy a pre built desktop, use pcpartpicke and you’ll save hundreds of dollars” gives you authority. It’s a limited budget, but you can translate it into "avoid this to stay safe*

      It’s all like that… It extends even into leaders of thee letter agencies, who I didn’t realize I was presenting to at the time
