My mums funny with it, we met a few weeks ago and said she wanted a new (very expensive) watch and was particular with model and brand, I asked what had got her on to it, she said Facebook has been showing the watch to her for weeks, she later that day spend £3600 for that watch on finance.

I would feel used and like a sucker but she doesn’t make that same connection. Facebook are just showing her what she wants

Like most others here; I don’t see adds on my phone. Now when I use someone else’s, or a ‘smart’ TV or a library computer…

I do believe this to be true, capitalism has already hit its peak of extraction, water has entered the asset market, similar to gold, housing and diamonds. Humanity is in for a massive shock, migration, collapse of political systems. I will be fragging the billionaire bunkers if anyone cares to join me.

Using Debian as my main laptop distro, I am usually an arch user but figured with it being a light weight laptop I wouldn’t need arch, its been fine but installing updates can be frustrating, after a few weeks gnomes appstore breaks, then I need to use terminal to apt update, apt --fix-broken install.

Kids shouldn’t use the internet without a parent or teacher monitoring them. We can blame big tech for targeting our most vulnerable and pandering to them, kids are very easy to manipulate vis-à-vis a great target to advertisers, they will fill participation metrics, they will sit on one site for hours. And our solution is to keep the unsafe pseudo kids park online while handing power to faceless corps who we are to trust with our private and identifiable data? Roblox for example is an open pedo network targeting kids, this won’t be fixed. The sad truth is many children are encountering sexual content through these online play grounds made for kids.

“Rules for thy not for me” Our ruling class.

I support this, sadly this won’t stop crooks. Trump is already known for putting assets in family members names to skirt the law.

Fucking good, keep this fire burning.
