They're either hidden extremely well, I'm oblivious to them or they're not there as much I'd say.

Most of the things I get on TikTok are, I would argue, genuine content that someone made because they wanted to or is following along a trend that is ongoing. I don't get a lot of people showing off a product, and often when they do it's for stuff I'm interested in and I'm already following them for.

Perhaps its a matter of diversity. Instagram feels very monotone in its ads: bottom barrel mobile games or brands trying to sell me their garbage I don't need nor would be interested in. TikTok on the other hand feels less monotonous in what I get shown.

I'm always surprised by the sheer amount of ads on Instagram. TikTok barely shows me any ads, even through prolonged periods of me using the app. Using Instagram is pain with the constant amount of identical ads being shoved down the pipeline.

Theoretically yes. However, the chance of you encountering a second hand device with such an implant is relatively low I'd say.

I guess if you buy it off journalists or activists the chance would be higher but still relatively unlikely. But as with anything, consider if it suits your threat model and act accordingly.

Arc definitely has some features that I really like. Wish they would've released it on other platforms too as I'm not always using my Mac for everything that I do day-to-day.

Can you tell me what happened to Tornadocash again? Besides that, if privacy was at all a concern for crypto bros we’d see something like XMR be the default from the start.

Only a minor remark: (most) crypto is pseudonymous rather than anonymous. Your spending is public to all and takes little to effort to effectively stalk the more you use it for every day things.

This sadly also sums up my short-lived stay with NixOS. Tried on multiple occasions to get a working system to no avail and ultimately made me go back to Fedora where I remain until this day.
