I decided to move to Linux and my other family went with Macbooks.
Samsung is also trying to make its ACR data more valuable for ad targeting, including through a deal signed in December with analytics firm Experian.
This should add to their profits.
Average users will not have the knowledge or patience for work arounds.

Automakers should not even have access to any of your information!
Mozilla has added special software co-authored by Meta and built for the advertising industry

I was finally going to attempt installing Linux Mint only to find out it is not as simple as some say. I know less than nothing about computers and then there are mirrors you have to choose from to download. I have no idea what would be a safe secure mirror.

My electronic devices should also have these same priviledges.
I migrated from Reddit. Most of the communities I followed would be hours or days between posts (if they were not private). Everything left was just not pleasant.
I am still fumbling around here but for the most part it is has better discussions and people seem less rude.

Not much to be done with a work machine, but for personal use, I believe the more people moving away from Windows the better.
