Pay cash, wear a hat and a mask in store, decline to give them PII. It’s a pretty simple and effective solution.

- swiley 5y agoDon't drive. You have to register your vehicle with the state and your current address.
- mbg721 5y agoIt's very confusing, sharing an apartment with all these other guys also called Rusty Shackleford whose phone number is 867-5309.

- landemva 5y agoI opted out of the 'must register your vehicle to a mailing address' a few years ago. The toll firms and meter maid cities send stacks of scary looking penalty assessment letters, which I forward to the landfill. No consequences to me, and the captured CO2 in the paper is sequestered in the dump.

- half-kh-hacker 5y agoThere's a lot of wisdom in those books, I really like 'em.
- sodality2 5y agoI read Little Brother when I was only 12, it's why I originally installed linux :p His books are awesome, I really love the blend of plot and technical bits he drops in. I read almost all his books right after reading Little Brother and enjoyed every single one.
- nonameiguess 5y agoUse the scooters they provide for mobility-impaired people. Note you shouldn't actually do this because you're taking away a scarce resource that might actually be needed by other people who can't walk, but it would defeat gait recognition. You can always bring your own scooter, but you'd have to bring a different one every time or you could be identified by the scooter. Since that would get quite expensive, you might need to pool resources with other privacy-minded individuals to maintain a shared group of scooters.
