      take the blue pill, self-destruct: sign back up for facebook, make a tiktok account. Always carry the newest iphone and a stock android phone on your person. Post live photos on instagram of where you are and what you are doing multiple times a day. Sign up for X. Buy a blue checkmark. Live-tweet your fight against constipation. You have nothing to hide if everyone already knows everything about you.

        Not outside in a city with cameras. If tails on homemade/trusted hardware is not safe enough, woods are the only option.

      Maybe, but that would defeate the purpose.

      Tails is secure because it is a packaged distribution that allows you to do a lot of stuff privately, like browse, email, download, and upload.

      Installing a video game doesn’t break the other stuff; you can still do that. But that additional software is an avenue for malicious actors to get in to your system, that the tailsOS team didn’t test
