Not trolling, just extremely conscientious about privacy and security, far outside cultural norms / overton window, though frankly, that's not saying much in an age where almost everyone has smart assistants all over their house, insurance companies tracking accelerometer/gyro/gps data from every drive they take, and exclusively chat on systems produced by major corporations that are logging everything indefinitely and eaglerly cooperating with law enforcement / intelligence community without even requiring warrants for data requests - almost all closed source and with a client-server architecture with no way of even auditing how much is being recorded, whether any of these companies are actually honoring their privacy policies or not, etc.
I understand that trust by default is an enormous aspect of our economy, and trust may be characterized as the single most valuable commodity, but my work involves adopting a strict zero trust mindset, and it can be difficult to turn that off after so many years.
