can't count on Evil Corp, the "don't be evil" motto was gone in 2015

but you can count on this:

apparently the EU privacy laws might come to the rescue.
“The script that [YouTube] deploys is detecting what software people are running on their machines or what behaviour their browser is exhibiting in relation to their private activities. It's not okay. It's illegal,” Hanff claims

Win11 detected a friend who went VPN/qbitorrent for a quick download (lolocaust, not even "pirate stuff") then shutdown vpn restarted computer and it arbitrarily blocked certain sites including an innocuous aussie broadband help site (amongst others).
No proof but it seems odd. As of a few mins ago no resolution.
Microsoft net nannying? I think so only based on their other restrictive activities.

Your complaint is acknowledge and now their ads play 11 times louder.

While we are having boomer rant moments, here's mine.

My bank's local branch closed, so I visited a competing bank's branch and enquired regarding opening a new account with them.

They suggested I look online to see what they could offer.

Bruh.

I wanna do my banking local and in person.

Literally no where has offices you can walk in to and get your bills paid / complaints sorted in person anymore. It is all call centres and online. Even supermarkets are encouraging you to stay at home and take deliveries.

Everything gonna be done by machines and AI. We'll receive subsistence level benefits to subsidise wildly inflated rents and mortgages. The only jobs for humans will be in the care sector looking after the massive pensioner population for $0.01/hr tips. (this is the optimistic utopia version)

Don't live in a liberal hellhole and you should be alright. Seems like the libs want to give up as much freedom/rights to the government as they can.

The ad monsters aren't so bad. They'll let you say some of the wackiest shit imaginable to generate user engagements.

The sad part is that are too blind to see how much freedoms they are willingly giving up.
