Something on stock Android phones is always listening though. I had a similar experience as OP where I had an IRL conversation once with my son about a product I don't normally talk about. My phone was unused & "asleep" nearby. An hour later at work I was inundated with ads for said product all over the internet in my Chrome browser on my work computer. It was way too heavy handed to be a coincidence. The phone had listened to our conversation.

(That day marked the first on my journey to de-Google and take serious steps preserve my privacy online)

Always thought "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal was very beautiful.

Surprised the rates of adblocking is so high! I thought it was a little more niche.

Also surprised that the article didn't mention manifest v3 rolling out later this year to Chrimium-based browsers - which will effectively end adblocking in all browsers except Firefox.

Google isn't stupid, they know that ad blocking undermines their business. And Google controls Chromium: the backbone of almost all browsers. So of course they're going to engineer it to prevent ad blocking. It was only a matter of time.

I wonder whether Nukem would consider running again in 2024?

There's a version of Debian whose desktop environment is just the CLI. (I learned the "fun way" at first boot whilest helping a friend install Linux on their machine). It was certainly a lightweight, fast, & easy installation, I'll say that! Lol!
