I set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with AdguardHome for a friend of mine, and told him to disconnect everything at home and try to watch anything on his phone, being the only device using his home's internet.

He just sent me this, and now he's ready to #degoogle 🤣🤣🤣

He says there were hundreds in less than 5 minutes.

This is highly deceptive, and is actually worse than Apple staff implying macos can't get viruses

Even Ubuntu and Debian do connectivity checks. Firefox does too: http://detectportal.firefox.com/success.txt .

There's lots of valid things you could tell them, so why lie? Other people can easily prove it wrong..

They lie because it's not about the truth. It's about the clout.

Who's lying? I'm confused.
