  • When a person follows you and watches your every move, it's called stalking. When companies like Meta do it, it's just called collecting user data.

  • Vinted and non-widespread domains

    Jump

  • More and more sites are moving away from allowing users access when creating accounts with temporary or alias addresses, and usage with vpns. Identity based accounts can’t be tracked if they don’t know your true identity.

    In the not too distant future, everything you do online and off will be connected to your real world identity.

  • People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems?

  • Indoor plumbing, heating and air!

  • How the hell do I sign up for facebook?

    Jump

  • Run, run far away and forget you ever heard of fb!!

    The more this invasive behavior becomes the norm, the worse off ALL of us will be.

  • How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?

    Jump

  • From a non techy perspective, having what is used and installed being secure is a big one. I am new to Linux Mint. Mostly user friendly until something gets corrupted or suddenly can not be verified.

    Looking for why is not always simple, and there are some explanations/instructions easier to understand than others.

    I preface most of my searches with Linux mint (whatever I am searching for) for dummies. This helps some.

  • How would you react if Reddit joined the fediverse?

    Jump

  • The best I've got is, it's complicated.

    This should be my line!

  • You can steal expertise from anyone in the world, do you do it and from who?

    Jump

  • I would not consider that theft. More a passing of the torch.

  • Google illegally maintains monopoly over internet search, judge rules

    Jump

  • The judge said it was a monopoly but there does not seem to be any consequences at this time if ever.

    Mehta’s conclusion that Google has been running an illegal monopoly sets up another legal phase to determine what sorts of changes or penalties should be imposed to reverse the damage done and restore a more competitive landscape.

    The potential outcome could result in a wide-ranging order requiring Google to dismantle some of the pillars of its internet empire or prevent it from paying to ensure its search engine automatically answers queries on the iPhone and other devices. Or, the judge could conclude only modest changes are required to level the playing field.

  • Car Privacy is Shit

    Jump

  • Hardening cars is wild west right now.

    The cars should not need to be hardened. That is what needs to stop, imo!!

  • Can GPT-4o Be Trusted With Your Private Data?

    Jump

  • (stiffles the bubbling hysterical laughter)

  • So is the global IT crash fixed yet?

    Jump

  • The sixteenth time’s the charm….

  • What are you hoping to see happen in the future?

    Jump

  • Finally winning the lottery!!

  • RCS vs SMS/MMS?

    Jump

  • But don't you just get tired of jumping through hoops for every little thing these days?

    Big tech needs to stop being evil. There, problem solved, right.....right.....ha

  • RCS vs SMS/MMS?

    Jump

  • They are displacing text messaging and making it look like nothings changed.

    They get more of your data, so there's that.

  • RCS vs SMS/MMS?

    Jump

  • If only Signal were the default messaging app!!!

  • Chat surveillance law by the EU Parliament?

    Jump

  • Doesn't scanning before upload imply the encryption is broken somewhere? Is that the point, to remove encryption? Forgive my naivete.

  • Who would win: every human in the world vs. every animal in the world?

    Jump

  • This question reminded me of the old series Zoo. What happens when animals band together against man...first two seasons were decent enough

  • European Law Enforcement Officials Declare Encryption Must Be Broken To Ensure Public Safety

    Jump

  • Sad but true.

  • European Law Enforcement Officials Declare Encryption Must Be Broken To Ensure Public Safety

  • The letter opens with an admission by the collective of police chiefs that they’re unable to do their jobs unless tech companies do half the work for them.

    I suppose previous generations of law enforcement that were able to do their jobs before all this does not count.
