Time for meshtasctic? Or nothing. How about never using our phones again?

Definitely considering looking into portable Faraday cages...

Guess it doesn't really matter when the license plate on my car is tracked everywhere I go and all the big businesses use face identification the moment you walk into their stores, probably all run by the same vendor and packaged and sold to the highest bidder.

I hate this dystopia.

Take your phone, turn it off then leave it in a bus while its on. Find the bus later.

Meshtastic might not be the best tool for this. Reticulum is more versatile.
