  • No no. You misunderstood. It’s a year from today! What a coincidence that I just happened to see your lack of faith exactly one year before it happens. After trump takes over and installs Elon Musk as head of the department of defense, he’ll activate the software update for the covid virus nanobots using military satellites that transmit 5G. The 5g nanobots will then force you to buy Microsoft products. This solidifies the Bill Gates’ control over the flat world, and the final signs will begin manifesting.


  • More spam is coming anyways.

    I was completely shocked when I migrated to an iPhone 16 that I had a ton of unread spam texts. Android had been filtering them and I wasn’t even aware it was happening. Apparently iOS has no such feature. The best you can do is block numbers that aren’t in your contact list, which obviously isn’t a solution if you have any sort of life at all. But what I’m getting at is that if you switch to Android then you won’t even see any spam texts. I dumped the iPhone after a week and went back to my Pixel.












  • I have never seen an opt-out work as it should. Operating systems just re-enable everything through system updates. Apps do it through app updates. A lot of updates seem like they’re for nothing other than getting you to agree to a new more intrusive ToS. For websites, spam lists, and that sort of shit, they just create a new mailer program and opt you into that. Sure, they’re not sending you the one you opted out of, but there are 500 more on the back burner. Some of the worst offenders will have dozens or even hundreds of different lists and force you to opt out of each one individually. Then of course there are the spammers who just don’t even capture the opt out. Or put the opt out behind a login that you don’t even have. Or serve the opt out page through an ad-click network which is blocked by your filter list, firewall, ad blocker, or DNS. There are a hundred ways they circumvent the laws and legislators are doing nothing to stop them.
