Popular technology stacks that make your life as complicated as possible:
1) It all started with the Networking stack.
2) Data stacks like LAMP, MEAN, MERN, Serverless, etc. Every stack after this made you hate your job.
3) Frontend Stack
4) Microservices Stack
5) AI Stack.
These stacks often overlap and integrate with each other depending on the project's needs. So you can't simply skip this mess now. This is why some of us want to run into woods and never return to civilization.
So, you're panicking right now, and you need to have some kind of change in your life that you can control so you can calm down. How about bumping up that security and privacy?
You want to be less trackable. I want you to be less trackable. There are three pillars to this.
1) Privacy. This is when your actions cannot be seen.
2) Security. This is when your systems resist attack.
3) Anonymity. This is when you cannot be identified.
You can be private and not secure, for example, a conversation in a park, far away from the crowd, but under an old tree with broken branches. Also, outdated or buggy software.
You can be secure, but not private, for example, Google's ecosystem is hard to break into, but you have zero privacy; everything you do on that platform can be and is monitored.
You can be private but not anonymous, like with Signal, where you have to give a phone number or name, or email, which you can encrypt, but still have to give out your email address for.
What if your computer beeps each time it sends data to Google? https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/tracker-beeper/

Yay! Now we can switch audio sinks in call on #postmarketos. I've written 2 programs in @vala_lang.

MeowAudio: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/NekoCWD/meowaudiod - user side callaudiod replacement. It switches pulseaudio profile and asks Q6Meow to restart voice stream.
