    I saw in some other comments of yours you seemed a bit upset at tech spying on you. Since you already have a pixel, have you looked at GrapheneOS?

      Not really.

      I recognize that I’m being spied on, it doesn’t necessarily bother me all that much… For me it comes down to trust, whether you trust the entity that’s collecting your data to responsibly store it, properly anonymise it, and properly use it for their stated purposes.

      I’m not going to say I trust Google, given most of my things are Google related (we use nest home minis around the house, and Chromecasts, etc)… But I believe they’re trying to be responsible with the data they collect, primarily that they’re using it mostly for Adsense, and their own internal algorithms to basically customize their sites for you. YouTube recommendations, search results, etc… Not just flapping your personal information in the breeze for anyone to look at… Like Facebook and company generally does if you throw enough money at them.

      I have to pick my battles. Too much to do in my field. If I spend all my time considering the tinfoil hat arguments, then I’ll spend my time doing essentially only that.
