I Am Not A Robot!

Amazon over the past couple of days has been making me click to confirm I am not a robot. As if that would do anything. I guess because I use an uncommon operating system and I open links in new tabs rather than having to click back and losing my spot

Not ironically their crawler hits my website to train their AI I am sure. I am even logged into my account. No doubt it’s just away to punish me for using ad blockers and reducing their ability to track me all over the web.

No company should be tracking anything I do when I am off of their website. The web has gone so horribly wrong in some ways and that is one example.

In my perfect world every one of these sites would have to ask for permission to have the cookie. Each individual cookie and also have to publicly explain what each is used for. We know that will never happen voluntarily and there will not be a low in this country.

Big companies pay for the government. Too many of the representative are old and have no clue whatsoever about technology. Remember the internet is a “series of tubes?”

It is a shame. I have been more and more problems with some of these large websites just not working. They hide behind security when they have megabytes of JavaScript they expect me to blindly allow.

The worst is when they try to push the app on mobile. “It’s better with the app” they claim. No really it is just so you can track better and always be running and push spam notifications. The government likes this because they can buy data without having to be bothered with warrants. I will stay off that tangent at least for now. I do try to be apolitical on here.
