I find it amazing that you can say such a thing with a serious face. Time after time, we learn that the question isn't "are you paranoid", it's "are you paranoid enough". State actors trying to get your data, hackers trying to get and sell your data, hackers trying to lock down your computer and blackmail you; the list goes on and on. The less "connections" you have to third party services, the safer you are.

- RHSeeger 5y agoLocking your car door is not going to prevent someone from stealing things in it if they choose do. However, it will make it more difficult for them. Every vector by which we can reduce our vulnerability makes us safer. The goal is to be "safer", not "safe".
