Not trying to be a jerk, but do you think ANY tech company isn't fucking with you?
And you can prove it.
My personal laptop is using OpenVPN. It definitely fools Twitter into believing I am logging in from Toronto.

And Mint OS for the win!
When you say something in your own home and start getting ads for it,
Now, it’s been possible up until today to block this sort of stuff on your Mac using a program called Little Snitch
Not trying to be a jerk, but do you think ANY tech company isn't fucking with you? Apple is more discreet about it, but I'm of the mind anything that needs electric current is compromised. I just now fuck with their algorithms. It has worked. I love the ads I get. You'd think I was a 21 year old chick based on the ads I get in my browser.

I'd absolutely love to have one, if it just ran Linux.. I have fairly fond memories of the 11" Macbook Air (I think 4,1) that I used about a decade ago (but moved away from because it took Apple too long to fix the screen - and by the time they did, I'd moved on to better laptops, and Apple had moved on to make Linux less convenient).
Apple may run Linux in their cloud, but their laptops don't ;(
I've been waiting for an ARM laptop that can run Linux for a long time. The new Air would be almost perfect, except for the OS. And I don't have the time to tinker with it, or the inclination to fight companies that don't want to help.

As online advertising becomes ever more ubiquitous and unsanctioned, AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks' databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile. Read more about AdNauseam in this paper.
