Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Here's a faster easier option!

  1. Press and hold the icon until it shakes
  2. Click uninstall

While I like this option more, at this point I wouldn't trust it to not spy on me still. I guess that also goes for the settings route. Shit.

How is it going to spy on you if you don't have it on your device and do not use it?

I think mostly by websites colluding to track your browser's fingerprint so facebook/meta can maintain your behavioral profile and sell it back to them.

Yeah, I know trackers are a thing but that's not the same as what this article is talking about.
