Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I know this isn't the point of the article, but I'm starting to get really pissy about software updates implementing high-level non-security related changes to my fucking fully paid for device!
It doesn't do anything but I'm starting to refuse to agree to any new user agreements.
It's pretty much nothing.
I have 3 different AI agents that were forced onto my phone between Google, Samsung, and Microsoft.
It'll be baked into the ToS somewhere but I agree it's bullshit. Years ago I bought a youtuber downloader app (I know I should've just used yt-dl) and they released an update that removed support for half the websites and locked them behind a new higher-priced tier. None of it was mentioned in the changelog, just a prompt that came up after you'd installed the new build. I was able to reinstall the previous version and keep using it but I was still so pissed off
The dream is over. The internet and technology are over. It was fun while it lasted, and it is time to re-adapt to a reality without dependence on 100% privacy invading surveillance.
its been 4 months and I am not regret about my switch to GrapheneOS. The only thing that can make this 100% perfect is creating a Google account that does not tie to your phone number.
So now California has a governor pretending to be pro-Palestine to do damage control while signing laws that give Zionist corporations more control over your data and hardware
If you ever thought Gavin was anti-Trump, I have news for you 😄
Oh he's anti-Trump alright. But that's just meaning that he wants to take Trump's place.
I love how big corp is already ready. It's almost as if they somehow knew all along that all the govs with bribable legislators would be making laws they all seemed to arbitrarily adopt at once. Can't wait for the shill AI slop response to this comment making it seem like a good idea.
I find it odd to protect children they will stalk the hell out of us but won’t arrest known pedophiles …
I hate the world
It's not to protect children though. It's for political surveillance.
Exactly. Governments around the world, including the U.S., of course, have made it crystal clear through their actions that they don't give a fuck about protecting children.
Better to just hate the whole Epstein Class. They trash the world for everyone else..
Wait, send explicit images? I'm not a child, I get that on these platforms my privacy is pretty well gone, but is it explicitly known (confirmed from the source) that these companies scan your images too?
That feels extra fucked up. Like "hold on a sec bucko let me check this photo you're trying to send real quick to make sure it's not titties "
where do you think they got the database for their porn generating llms?
They definitely do. That’s how you can search photos by their content on iOS or android.
This is insane. They have to view your images to deem of they are explicit...
Basically a year away from a universal internet ID that will track all movements and can be restricted if your government doesn't like you.
"Must be outside of California, Colorado, and Brazil to download this Linux ISO"
"Must be outside of California, Colorado, and Brazil to proceed with installation"
I'm in canada!
Fuuuuck with apple doing this, I wonder how long we have until this BS enters Android and Linux Kernel.
Lmao good fucking luck enforcing this on Linux. There's no central authority to handle age verification, and even if there was, it'd take less than a week for someone to make a patched version of whatever tool they use that just... Autoreports that you're an adult no matter what.
After commercial OS have age verification they will remove it from the programs because the age was already verified, right? (Padme asking Anakin)
When I first decided to switch to Linux, I started exclusively using apps that were available on Linux. This way I was able to gradually transition my workflows one app at a time without any rush. When I was ready to install Linux, I did it on a new computer so I still had access to everything on the old computer and there was no risk of going computer-less if the installation went sideways.
Also, keep in mind that Asahi only works on M1 and M2 Macs. (If you have an old Intel Mac, you can just run normal Linux without Asahi)
Oh and Veronica Explains has a great video about her experience with Asahi.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore
Majority will accept it, they dont care and governments and corpos like this
I don't give a shit what children see.
They'll live.
Stop spying on adults.
