Rice and black eyed peas, cooked with some millet leaves for color. Fry slices of onion in about 1 T of oil and pour it over the top. Then sprinkle a mix of fine crushed red pepper, bullion, and salt over it.
Most of West Africa has this in one form or another on the regular.
There’s several overlapping problems:
First, that the problem is complex. It’s not just “Microsoft bad.” There’s a turducken lasagna of layered problems that make it hard for the average person to wrap their heads around the issue.
Next, there’s no direct monetary incentive. You can’t say “you lose $500 a year because data brokers know your address.” Most people also have relied their whole lives on free email, so the average person in already in “debt” in terms of trade offs already.
You’re also starting from a point of blaming the victim in a way. It’s the same problem companies have with cybersecurity, blaming everyone except the executive that didn’t know the risks of skimping on cyber budgets. Hiding the problem to avoid public shame is the natural human response.
Finally, that resolving the problem is fucking hard. I know, we all know, it’s a constantly moving target that requires at the very least moderate technical skill. My partner wants to have more privacy online, but would rather have conveniences in many cases. And has zero patience for keeping up with changes, so I have to be a CISO for a household. So the average person, and the average household, does not have the skillset to care “effectively” if they wanted to.
