"Uh, do I really need to install this app to order food?"

in reply to Tuta • • •This is hilarious to me because I'll stop using a web site if its TOS are too weird or if its cookies are pushed too hard. I don't tolerate shitty practices because I simply don't have to. It's a big web, you're probably not unique.
Businesses, if your shit isn't frictionless, I'm not going to buy a damn thing from you.
Install an app to pay you? Fuck off, lol.

in reply to Tuta • • •to tell iOS not to track does not mean anything. There is a study which says that 80% of the software developers ignore this, because it is a recommendation and not enforced.
And this setting is meant for external app but has no meaning to apple app. The same is true in google.

"Why should I care if they collected all my data anyway?"
It's SICKENING and concerning how we normalise these things...

The easy solution is to just not buy a cell phone.
Saves money and gives you time to look around and enjoy the local flora and fauna.
