I’m annoying my girlfriend by installing a dns ad blocker that sometimes interferes with her work, and I have to whitelist things when her work links doesn’t work (Microsoft stuff).

It’s a bit of an annoyance but I feel strongly about not letting these companies get data about what we are doing.

Just yesterday I installed a kodi plugin (called “up next” ), and turns out it’s reporting back what shows I’m watching! The only reason I became aware of this is because it was blocked by the dns ad blocker.

I care about my apps not calling home and reporting what im doing. It should be illegal.

@1984 @MagneticFusion i think the ultimate privacy move is not having a girlfriend or any friends

Obviously but human nature does not enjoy being alone 💀

Difference is we don’t just wake up one day and say “yeah, I’mma go isolate myself from society”

yes, that’s what hermits do (may not be a “woke up one day” decision though :)

hermit was just an example to remind that we can’t comfortably write about “human nature” because humans are naturally versatile. We, humans, take so many different forms, not having a nature must be our nature

excuse me, please do excuse me
