It's impressive how much tracking and profiling mobile apps use, even the apps you expect the least, like Strava. I'm not even consented to any of this crap being sent over the wire. Creepy!

Sounds nice. But: I paid for Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat for about 20 years. Later versions litter the machine with mysterious processes, constantly drive / network access, one can only speculate about. Acrobat GUI is horror and I don't want to pay for all the cloud crap. They are running a #tracking-based advertising network, integrate AI tools from other #bigtech - ineccaptable. I made the switch to #Linux without #Adobe. That's how it will stay.

What's up with mastodon.social instance @Gargron?
Yesterday it was cdn.concert.io and today it's admanager.concert.io.

There is absolutely no explanation over why they are integrated with the instance. Once again thanks to #TrackerControl which exposed these integrations.

It's time to ditch the mastoson.social instance.
