I selfhost and use mostly FOSS and have ways of blocking 99% of ads and locally control all my IoT so if you’re willing to learn then you don’t have to feel that way. Because I feel in full control and in harmony with everything.
Sure, Jan. I guess you’re not using a web browser to post this? Not using an app, because that would mean having an Android or Apple phone?
I think you underestimate just how shitty everything now is, even if you’re putting a massive effort in by using almost exclusively FOSS and maintaining a stack of ad blockers.
My phone is running LineageOS without GAPPS. I use Firefox but with the advent of this news, will be changing to more hardened versions of it. I spend no effort maintaining my ad blockers past the initial setup, the fact that you have no idea how much work is involved shows that you have no idea what you are talking about… you are a smoke blower.
I’m more than happy to go back and forth with you and give you specifics to show just how little you know, but I’m curious. Why did my comment seemingly irk you? Do you feel insecure because are lazy and adopted a defeatist attitude to justify your laziness and/or lack of knowledge? Because it is 100% possible to control your devices and data, honestly, you’re probably just kinda dumb buddy. But again, if you want to learn, I’ll happily educate you on specifics.
