  • Could VPNs Be 'Banned'?

    Jump

  • No, there are free VPN out there where you don't need an creditcard (Windscribe, Proton, Calyx....), even if not, it can be a child on the PC from the parents. Anyway, age verification has only one reason, access and control of user data, nothing else. The resposability of the children is by the Parents and not by webpages or services, apart impossible to control the access by childrens, when they use the PC of the parents to websites which already have the ID from the adults. Nobody else as the parents can control it. Apart it isn't a rule which is worldwide, with countries without age control in their server, easy accesible from everywhere but out of the control by goverments.

  • Steganographic messages are pretty save, not so because they are very difficult to reveal, but if they see an innocent selfie, a photo from a kitten or an mp3 from a famous song, they don't think tat it can be a hidden message and don't cause further interests, like an encrypted unreadable message do. Snowflake is another thing, often used by journalists in totalitary countries. https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity24/presentation/bocovich

  • What dystopian surveillance things from your country you can't escape?

    Jump

  • You can't escape when you currently appears life in one of the millons cams anywhere and even with this life in YouTube, additional to the surveillance of big corporations, banks and the own ISP. Privacy nowadays is relative, you can only patch the biggest holes. 100% privacy is stay at home and reading a book with the smartphone turned off.

  • Snowflake or steganographic comunication, works even in North Corea, encrypted messages are not a solution, because they always cause suspicion in countries with strong surveillance and censorship. VPN are not the solution either, even in occidental coutries, there are a lot of webs which are not accesible with a VPN or Proxy, mostly streaming sites, eg. Rakuten and others.

  • Any opensource alternatives to imgflip/kapwing for creating memes?

    Jump

  • Any image editor is valid, eg. Minipaint, which is FOSS, complete and works right in the browser (hosted in github.io), using images from eg. Pixabay (images, vectors, videos, gifs, music, sounds) which are all free to use (CC or copyleft). Really not a problem to create memes without copyright issues (and without AI).

  • Ways to convince people to take online privacy seriously - common objections debunked

    Jump

  • Also devs want to eat sometimes and for services there are few possibilities to create incommings, turning it in a paid service, put ads or using afiliate links which ay an revenue if the user use these. A no go are selling private user data which are the methodes of big corporations, this is the real problem. But it isn't avoidable, when you block these that also those which use ethical methodes are affected. The solution is only a clear legislation making it illegal to sell private user data to third parties, out of control how these use or protect these. There isn't any other. Privacy is a basic right, period. Traffiking with user and metadata is a crime.

  • Ways to convince people to take online privacy seriously - common objections debunked

    Jump

  • Ads are needed to create incommings needed by an service, but legit are only contextual ads, but not personalized ones results of surveilance and profiling, worst if also used with tracking and metadata logging. This is the main reason why the use of adblocker and other filter measures are mandatory, sorry for those which use only contextual banners to create some incommings.

  • What's more dangerous nowadays: To not update Win11, or to update it?

    Jump

  • Updates are needed for security and not a problem in a gutted Windows 11 (mine use <700 MB RAM), with third party privacy tools, like Portmaster, blocking not needed telemetries and unwanted traffic. Updates almost security patches and Defender definitions

  • Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous

    Jump

  • Fingerprinting isn't allways synonym of the lack of privacy. But there are differences between fingerprinting for tracking and profiling reasons, which certainly is needed to block or to spoof, and tecnically data needed to show correctly the content of a page, eg the first public IP numbers to show the content in your lenguage, the fonts used, screen resolution, OS, browser engine...., all data which are the same for millon other users. We can block por complete the fingerprinting, but than we'll see that half of the pages are not shown correctly or don't even work. It's always an commitment to set the fingerprint blocking. VPNs add an privacy layer, but dont avoid fingerprintings, used as extension can't avoid that the browser connect first to the ISP before the VPN can create the tunnel, with which it may serve to skip country restrictions, but you are still seen by your ISP. It don't also blocking the fingerprinting, except the IP. To stay private depends more on other measures, DNScrypt, not to use apps, search engines and services which logs/share our activity, using ad/trackerblocker.... and the most important, common sense, not a tin foil hat. PEBCAK

  • Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: "Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications"

    Jump

  • I'll never enable it precisely because I understand the security and privacy implications. Windows would be a nice OS without all this crap, bloatware and services to "improve the user experience" and which nobody needs.

  • "This is a political deception" − New Chat Control convinces lawmakers, but not privacy experts yet

    Jump

  • This always happens when those who create laws are senile old men who confuse a remote control with a mobile phone or corrupt politicians, paid by lobbies, instead of experts in the corresponding subject.

  • Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm

    Jump

  • No, with this to what you say yes or no, you can set it in the browser instead in this Pop-up. All what you don't want get blocked. This way you set it one time in your browser for all pages you visit. instead ov everytime in each page. The result is the same, but without annoying consent nags. With the GDPR all pages are forced by law to ask for your consents, before with this pop-up, and now following the consent settings in the browser. This is the only difference, less nags for the user. With the page permission settings and the adblocker, this crap anyway get blocked. So this consent window in any case is useless.

  • Short answer: Yes

  • Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm

    Jump

  • It's not gutting it, it's changing the system with same result. Instead of annoying cookie consent pop-ups, a setting in the browser with admissible cookies (same as in the pop-up) this way the unwanted cookies are blocked from the browser itself (apart of those which anyway get blocked by the adblocker and privacy settings). With this there isn't needed anymore this pop-up. It's a good idea, I think.

  • Is it better to enable javascript in LibreWolf or switch to a different browser when a site needs it? Does switching browsers help in general?

    Jump

  • A browser is only a secudary problem in privacy, if you use another than Chrome or Edge, it's mainly the search engine you use the problem, the sites you visit, the mail you use, the data you publish, your common sense online, there are the main privacy holes.
