just learned that my wife is a “they’re listening to our phones to serve us ads” truther

cto @ bwl.gg, 100M+ users (bdut.ch) 🙏 $eggs is life

1. switch to cheap pixel + graphene os (you'll get more security too which is great, and all g apps run sandboxed)
2. switch to linux (specifically pop os) and a cheap laptop (thinkpad x1 carbons gen 10+ rock)
3. get a pi-hole running in your home network
4. get outline vpn on a $5/month vps somewhere in europe

congrats, you've escaped the matrix

she's actually right; i've been doing the test "talk around your phone about a product you never talked about before and see if you get targeted ads for that product later that day" every time i got new phone

and it finally failed... when i moved to graphene os with os-level mic toggle

but it works - when I want to order uber eats I keep talking about how hungry I am until I get a discount code

I think that’s just how non technical people explain profiling

bro your FBI agent is gonna get a raise soon

Is that even up for debate?

Feels like it’s just the truth now.  And everyone accepted it.

Talk about a friend I wanted to buy something and it suddenly give me those ads never searched it on my phone before
