I'm going to fully set up my website next year. For now I'm going to focus on work while still uploading a few articles. In about a week, I'm going to go back offline for a while. There was a clear correlation when I went offline to my work improving. In the meantime feel free to check out all my articles if you haven't already and keep donating to teamtrees.org !

This isn’t #privacy related, but the needs of humanity are above all else - Our small bubble of colleagues have already donated about 400 trees to the #teamtrees initiative to plant TWENTY MILLION trees by 2020.

Please consider donating.
Only $1 gets 1 tree planted.

https://teamtrees.org/

+6 million have been donated in only three-ish days.

Keep the ball rolling until we hit 20 million!

Just spoke to someone at ecosia.org about privacy. With the climate in the state that it is in I think it is important that we all do our best to help out, and using ecosia could be a part of this.

I've given them a few pointers that they seem to have taken in. Hopefully we see some updates to their policy soon.

What are your thoughts on ecosia, and should I write an article on search engines including startpage etc... Let me know.

Also keep donating to teamtrees.org

It seems that during our #PTIOAMA , we finally broke our 15 dollar goal on librapay, which means we will be able to fully run on donations! We now get a generous 18.11$ a week from 13 different patrons!

I would like to issue a thank you to all involved into making this happen, and a special thank you to our generous backers.

Now, lets continue what we do best at Privacytools.io, and spread privacy under the masses.

Thank you, PTIO community!

P.s. here is the link: https://liberapay.com/privacytools.io/donate

In an attempt to make privacy even more accessible, I have created a quick Privacy Checklist that gives people 9 quick tools to increase their privacy online.

The link is here if you want to share to some friends, seeing as most people on Mastodon care about their privacy I'll only post articles on my main blog but I'll link a the medium ones in the comments if you want!

I used to publish articles to Medium but now I use: https://write.privacytools.io/

Seeing as privacytools.io just created their own Medium an interesting thought came to me.

If I published some of my articles on why privacy mattered and then directed that traffic back to my blog...

Also should I do an article on Hong Kong, I think it could be interesting?

Oh look, GitHub accepted me for their sponsorship program—like, 5 months later? Better late than never I guess. https://github.com/sponsors/JonahAragon
