So I’ve been thinking about this lately - we all talk about security and privacy like we’re experts, but I genuinely think most of us haven’t sat down and asked ourselves: what am I actually protecting against?
Like, your threat model isn’t the same as mine. If you’re just worried about marketers profiling you, that’s one thing. If you’re concerned about government surveillance? If your employer might search your devices? If you’re dealing with an abusive ex? Those are completely different threat models, and they need completely different approaches.
What’s your actual threat model? What are you genuinely concerned about? And maybe just as interesting- what OS are you running right now? (Windows, macOS, Linux, something else?)
I’m not asking to judge anyone. I’m genuinely interested in whether people’s OS choices actually align with what they claim to be protecting against, or if we’re all just going through the motions.
Drop a comment if you feel like sharing. Or don’t. But maybe take 5 minutes and actually think about it for yourself first. Might be eye-opening.
