come in many forms. Like drivel from microsoft. You know, That company that takes billions of bytes of telemetry* data to improve your expierience, Yet cannot fix something as simple as a profile picture change on your local user account, An issue as of current standing is roughly 1 year 5 months. If you believe this shit, You'll believe anything. Literally. *telemetry = metadata = your entire file system identifiers. Small enough to hide in small uploads as to not get your attention.. Plus encrypted so you can't see it BEFORE it enters transit on the network. It does not wash MS.

sheer level of stupidity of the human race at this point in time just astounds me. Back in the 80's when this computer technology was all new to me I had high hopes for the future. But now it has become clear that, Of course, It has been twisted into something so unreal I could never have imagined it would turn out this way. Mankind could have used this to so much more. Instead they used it for profit. Greed is the scourge of this planet. And for what? You can't take it with you.

I will tell microsoft to go fuck themselves. You best understand you don't control nothing out here. None of these companies do. The power is with us. You allow them to do this shit. If you can't understand that, Then you deserve everything you get in return.

Your numbers are going down. Great, best news all year. After seeing that fucking cringey video of Zuck saying the most absolute bullshite ever recorded (with a bonus shitty hairstyle) this video was such an obvious cry for please it actually made me happy.

It's easy to go one better. Simply block the domains and the IP's they connect to. I do this already. I use an app called rethinkdns through wireguard. This app allows you to see exactly what is going on behind the android veil. If people really knew what is going on here they would be horrified to say the least. I have seen domains such as mtalk.google.com connecting up to 3000 times per 24hrs, Which is insane. And that is on top of the multitude of other domains (all google). I only use the playstore on my phone, No other google crap, No messenger etc. yet this mtalk domain is apparently for that, But I have uninstalled it via ADB and it still tries to contact this domain thousands of times a day. It's ALL lies. ALL of it.
