   And this post about #Meta's creepy & invasive #adtracking is one of my absolute favorites, which I hope will resonate with you: "Show Me Your Ads" https://therealists.org/2024/06/show-me-your-ads/

   In short, because I had Meta apps on an empty burner phone that was always home, Meta started to bombard me with ads about "gentle walking workouts" featuring 70-somethings... thinking I was an elderly woman who never left the house. In reality I walk at least 11000 steps/day every day 😂

     @_elena Lo stesso mi è capitato con facebook. Ho utilizzato un profilo vuoto per seguire un paio di gruppi, unicamente da computer. Questa cosa deve aver portato meta a pensare che fossi una persona abituata a usare piu computer che smartphone, ovvero chi oggi è tra i 40 e i 65, e deve aver pensato che fossi nella fascia più anziana visti gli zero amici. Non ti dico che tristume di post mi uscivano (però mi facevo due risate)

     @_elena @elena Thank you for this lovely post. Relaxing and peaceful.

     I miss the church bell sound from time to time. I'm not sure if you can hear well in France as well now.
