      That’s what i always think when i read things like that. “Facebook is invading our privacy, same as instagram, and there is nothing we can do.”

      Idk man, not using it is pretty easy actually.

        Oh but Facebook tracks you regardless of you having an account with them. Half of Android phones come with facebooks telemetry built into them, all those like and share buttons on websites/blogs, also tracking you.

        With how so many services are forcing it upon us, I’d have to disagree.

        It’s also getting to be a bit of a chore to block AI elements on all the various websites implementing them, and a few of the worst offenders (Google is one that I know does this) add a random string of characters on the element that serve as a unique identifier that periodically changes and so requires me to readd them to my UBO blocklist. On each device…

        It is the most effective solution for sure, though.

          Does ubo accept css selectors? Css has syntax for “match element that starts with, ends with, or contains, this string”

          Maybe we need to add a term for anti-AI psychosis. Like an equivalent of ‘going postal’?

      I put in an IT ticket the other day over the fucking Copilot button on my work-issued Surface laptop. They actually told me to install Powertoys. So I did. And disabled that fucking button.
