I have recently started a new position and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy in order to get your food when it would literally work perfectly fine ordering to a real cashier or shit even a website rather than having to download an app.

I have also read many stories of people that live in apartments that require them to use a mobile app for god damn LAUNDRY. All you need, is a card reader, and it will work perfectly fine like it has been for the longest time.

Privacy concerns aside, it is just annoying that you need this app and that app and this app and that app and it just clutters space on your phone. Security concerns too as now they have all of this additional info on you online, such as your phone number your email your real name, instead of just your credit card info like a card reader would have. And I am willing to guarantee that their security model is absolute horseshit because they have such a small team of engineers working on the app and the servers.

Literal enshitification

    Private DNS FTW!

    dns.adguard.com

    On Android:

    1. Swipe down and select settings (the gear)
    2. Search for: DNS
    3. Select Private DNS.
    4. Select Private DNS again.
    5. Select Private DNS provider hostname.
    6. Enter: dns.adguard.com
    7. Select Save
    8. Enjoy most ads being blocked in apps.
    9. Might work poorly on public wifi (Walmart wifi for example doesn’t work with a private DNS set).

    On Apple:

    1. Fuck if I know.
