  • several years ago main road on my way to work was closed for a month. alternative routes was bad and worse, so i reluctantly ditched car and tried cycling instead because cycling route was okay, hoping i will somehow handle that one month.

    quickly realized i’m rather enjoying cycling, month passed and i didn’t event thought about getting back in a car. i’m cycling ever since. commuting to and from work, cycling recreatively, doing 100km rides all around the area and the country, joined a club, enjoying every bit of cycling which makes me happy.

    the road maintenance overall changed me, led me to find something that fullfills me, breaks down the stress, make me happy, change my mindset and made me be more active.

    it’s the other way around. that shitty gummy piece of crap on ethernet cables is annoying as fuck, and i even haven’t had to plug it into network equipement that can be reset with it. but to reach the connector tooth under it often turns into a fight with gummy shitty ‘protector’ so i not once reached for scissors and cut that shit away.

    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.
