My dad is a computer guy. I've told him a dozen times over the years Facebook is evil. He just shrugs it off. I know, but... He started investigating voter fraud here in GA... like trying to get data dumps of machines to do is own audit. Facebook crawled up his ass. Suddenly his computer has extra cookies that his virus software warns him about etc etc. I was laughing so hard. There was some other stuff I can't talk about, but it was wild how it was like he got put on a list and suddenly crazy shit started happening.
When I go down there I'm going to get him to switch his desktop from winblows over to Linux. He codes freaking machine code and COBOL plus he's been on unix machines sense 1990 ish. It boggles my mind why he never switched to Linux. Probably my fault I should have made him 10 years ago.
Anyway that's one boomer that learned the hard way... :) He hates BigTech now.
