      Cue the pirates of the Caribbean scene/ where captain Barbosa tells you you’re “in one”

      You best start believing dystopian sci-fi stories, you’re in one

      If the quoted text is an actual quote, he is directly quoting the elcatch phrase of the Borg from star trek.

    I’m sorry, how is it inescapable? If I follows me across devices, I just won’t use those devices. So how’s it going to follow me then?

      You don’t need to use devices. Other people are, so you will be part of it. Any device in your proximity will listen to you, any photos other people take of you will identify you, public cameras or facitities will surveil you, smart energy meters will know what you do in your home…

      That is why the position of “I don’t care, because I don’t use that tech.” or “It is peoples choice.” Is so useless… We need strong regulation… Worldwide.

    So… instead of creating a product, proving it’s good, and getting sales that way, they’re using rapist tactics and arguments!? No red flags there!

      I have a theory, that these fuckers learned enough from all the hype and bust cycles enough to not only shove it down our throat, but to even avoid a bubble burst for very long.

      Then you opt-out and you won’t need to look at any track anymore. They’ll still track you.

        There are (admittedly inconvenient) actions I can take to reduce how much I’m tracked, and also to intentionally pollute a portion of the tracking data that thwy do collect.

        Or I could just give up and let the fuckers win…

    I feel like I’m getting the last laugh for being childfree and, how shall we say, no longer young. I’m just hoping to run down the clock before things get too shitty. But they seem to be trying to speedrun this shit.
