minus-square erez ( @erez@programming.dev ) linkfedilinkEnglish13•1 year agoDon’t give the government any more information than you have to. Don’t stand out. Be smart about the laws you break. If you do all that and your fear of government is greater than the fear of a car accident, then you’re not being rational.

Obviously, you have to give them some information, to adhere to “don’t stand out”.
