@briankrebs@infosec.exchange My LinkedIn stays frozen until I'm looking for a job again. No point leaving it active otherwise. I'm not interested in reading people's thought wanks about how great their employer is.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I recently got asked to join a Discord server. It flat out refused to allow me to do so on my phone, insisting I install the app. So I switched "Desktop site" mode on, logged in, switched it off again, and it works fine. Anyone pushing you to use an app when they have a functioning website is doing so to sell on your data. DDG App Tracking Protection helps, but isn't a panacea.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange Regarding insistence on app . . . An unimpeachable source told me: "Business deals are like farts: if you have to force it, it’s probably shit"

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I have it installed... they can see that I use it once every few months and I force stop it shortly after I've looked at whatever I needed.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I avoid all apps when possible, run from the mobile browser! Most phone apps are just browser wrappers anyway.
