i thought maybe it was the CC

but i dont know

So if you are in the room , and talking to a friend they know and then give you ads relative to the conversation the next time you go to Google

↑ I've heard people say stuff like that

Watch the video he actually proved it

I'm sure he does

I don't have chrome, I have chromium but I don't let the agent/daemon run, and my mic has a physical on-off switch and I keep it off

I'm good

well, better off than most

I don't even have chrome I use firefox and a very old version at that patched by friends

so how do you think google knows what you want to search based on what you are watching?

for example

it does?

They could pull that from cookies or from typed characters all types of bots allow them to do that that's not the problem the problem is them listening to you using your mic without your knowledge even when you're not using their service

i could be watching a sargon video, and he will mention something very specific, so i go to search for it, and i just type one letter into the bar, and google gives me the result

adnauseum for firefox is one suggestion from me

@Deleted User I've never had that happen

I mean for fuck sake even Facebook doesn't do that shit

hmm

but maybe I just didn't notice

or mabe becuase I use stuff like adnauseum

i've noticed it many times over the past couple of years

I'll look out for that, I may have just not noticed

I don't get ads so I'd never notice but it's just crazy to find out

The wiretapping might be Windows though. People found out, and MS admitted, they collect "telemetry data" even when you enable all privacy.

22+year Linux user so 🤷

not sure about this

rpm master race

generally the only ads I get will be of products I've already visited

I'm a Debian kind of guy actually

Ubuntu/Debian

Fuck the .deb plebs!

oooh fight me bro

@Ƶero Debian is worse than Windows.

stop it you're triggering me

YOU USE THE WRONG DISTRO!

NOOOOO
