Zuck: Are you trying to make me look creepy?
Sunshine: You don't need any help from us!
P.S. A thought I saw on Mastodon recently. Modern web ads rely on big surveillance networks to feed personalized ads. If all "ad-blockers" did was prevent non-personalized banner ads displaying on webpages, "ad-blocker" would be appropriate. In reality, "ad-blockers" are are surveillance and malware blockers
I just bought a new phone (2025 Galaxy A16, so no root method that I know of yet) and was surprised to see they actually let you just uninstall the Facebook app normally in the Apps menu now. No adb permission shenanigans required, at least on the unlocked retail model.
(I'm an old fuck and I don't play the new-phone-every-year game. So this probably isn't new. But it was still nice to be fully rid of it.)
would this individual perchance be interested in selling my private info?
