@lemmy.mlthey were sour about everything covid related. it was all made up, it wasn't real, but china made it, masks were problem, they couldn't breathe, secret cabala, fascism, vaccinations was bill gates's genocide chip implating for mind control.
they insisted on all kinds of nonsense because they didn't believe it, as they are neck-deep in conspiracy theories and delusion.
large number of conservative/rightwing blabbering about others, pointing fingers and blaming various imagionary boogiemen, with time somehow manages to endup as their projection. it's becoming a rule.
i remember rightwingers, the same who praise elon musk lately, screamed for months about implanting chips during covid vaccinations. oh the irony.
I can totally feel that sudden clot in the gut the moment you realize on which drive the action is happening, just by reading this.
try to install FossifyOrg gallery and dialer via obtainium who pulls releases directly off github.
there are forks of code before the sellout and the releases are already out. use fdroid or obtainium. https://github.com/fossifyorg/
commodore 64 with tape drive. later i got 5.25 floppy drive for it, which was the size of C64 itself.
then amiga, which i sold later to get money for my first intel/dos based pc (486dx2), but i regret selling that amiga to this day.
same thing happened to me. talked about very specific health-related topic, didn't googled it or anything, the next day instagram came up with ads for the very same specific health subject.
for a start, you can check instagram's permissions (and facebook of you use it, it's meta too) and disable access to microphone.
however, that leaves whatsapp which is also meta and mic is more of a neccesity than insta/fb, but in my case, haven't seen weird ads for subjects i didn't typed into any devices since i disabled insta mic access.
