I should setup a trash phone for all those spyware applications, maybe add all kinds of neat information there for them to steal too. It would be so much bother though as I would also have to get prepaid creditcard or something like that should I want to actually buy anything. I wonder if anything like that even exists. Maybe then I could use those stupid electric scooters lying all around, though I kind of dont want to even touch them since they most likely never get disinfected and are touched by hundreds every week or day.

If you installed the apps on a new "spam" profile on you phone would that isolate them for from the main profile?

I still find it kinda funny how everything was made to be run on some sort of browser instead of in its own program, and now they want you to use an app to run these things instead of the browser, that in turn opens a browser in the back ground....
Tangentially related, but I hate eating at Chili's because they have little screens on every table. I don't mind restaurants having a ton or TVs because they're playing sports games and people want to watch them. Each of these POS machines has constant ads playing though. You can pay with it (and probably order stuff) but you can also pay to play games. It's insane.
