Not to be a crazy person but I f*ckin hate how every app.. every connection to society is verifying and tracking your information. Social credit score without you knowing it

Don't even get me started, I'm in IT, I'm exposed or aware of way more of this shit than I'd like. We fuckin saw China's surveillance society like a decade ago, and somewhere along the lines went, "damn, that's a neat idea, we should try that but more slowly and discreetly, so maybe they don't catch on." I hate all of it.

Here, actually, great chance for me to put out some basic advice for people to minimize their data footprint, and/ or avoid giving Big Tech as much as possible. Will list below as I think of them.

Makes sense tho and why. Control to prevent uprising as the pinnacle of wealth inequality is upon us. The greatest level of inequality in human existence but at the same time you can get a bloatware tv for 199$ to influence judgement

Yep pretty much, you get it. But that TV is only $199 because rest of the cost is subsidized by all the viewing data that the company constantly siphons from your device when you connect it to the internet, and from the ad revenue they get by pushing dozens of ads to it every damn minute.

1. Use an ad-blocker on any web browser you're on, full-stop. UBlock Origin is the golden standard, get it from the extention store in the browser menu. Browser-wise, avoid Chrome. Firefox is arguably best (not owned by Google or Microsoft, Mozilla is a non-profit), followed by Brave, which is based on Chrome, but stripped of Google's bs, and has its own adblocker.
