I canʼt believe I have to tell people this, but

- Donʼt buy smart home shit
- Donʼt download an app to get a free smoothie
- Donʼt sign up for something you heard about in a piece of junk mail
- Donʼt create an account with fucking McDonald's or Chipotleʼs or whatever
- Donʼt use a coupon or a discount for something you werenʼt going to buy anyway
- Donʼt sign up for free trials
- Donʼt let the devil in through the front door
- Donʼt let them sell you anything

You will not come out ahead.

@monkeyborg Not too long ago, someone here (possibly you) explained how to chop off everything from an URL one might be sharing to eliminate some of the tracking. I was like "Gee, doesn't everyone know how to do that?" Clearly, everyone didn't, and I'm glad whoever it was explained it. There are always new people buying stuff & being introduced to tech & new things. It's good someone explains this shit. So thank you, & thanks to whomever it was then.

@monkeyborg Maybe I could have better said that as "Just let me make toast & watch TV, dammit!" But it might not be possible to watch TV privately anymore without more technical intervention than most are willing or able to do.
