Agreed, but things act differently at scale and it's not like there's 10 billion+ hammers being used at the same time, almost all of the time, for years on end
Yeah I think blanket statements either way are misguided. Some tech does help the disabled, other tech makes their lives much more difficult. It's like any other tool, when it's used at scale by something aiming for optimizing profit it will have terrible side effects
From a privacy perspective, at least in the US, any traffic outside of the country is analyzed differently than traffic only in the US. Not that it really matters much, since US gov likes to track everything, I just found it annoying watching FF connect to so many servers before ever going to a website. Seems sketchy, since harden FF don't do this
Welp, that's enough dystopian reality for me today. I was actually hoping to have these for repairability and easier chip identification, but nope, built for prisons you say...
Fun game is to watch the network traffic in vanilla Firefox, long before this latest switch. Just server connections to 6-10 servers, some outside my county on immediate start up. Firefox has been trash for a long while
