  • Is Signal messaging really private?

    Jump

  • Unlike Whatsapp, Signal doesn't store your network of contacts. They have your phone number, time of registration, and time of last connect to their servers. They go to great lengths to keep the rest private. In Signal's case, I don't see an issue at all, but I do see all the benefit.

  • the second step is realizing it isn't going to change, at least not any time soon

    No, I will never have this attitude. I refuse to believe that we couldn't at any moment choose to change our course. The rich and powerful fear it. Believing things won't change, sooner or later, only benefits them and not us. There is no magical right time for change, there's only now.

  • I just went onto reddit to a intrest subreddit which happens to be NSFW and i got this, fuck reddit im glad i quit it.

  • Age verification is insane in it's entirety and no payment processor, corpo, government, or think-tank has any right to enforce their puritanical views on sex and Orwellian techno-fascist policies on everyone.

  • [OC] What People Think Privacy/Security Is

    Jump

  • For starters, it's open source. And I'm not too into the details, but the creator of Anubis even mentioned that they were interested in creating a non-javascript version for privacy.

    Google's reCaptcha, to which Anubis is being compared to by OP, is obviously far less private. It's just another mechanism of control and data harvesting for Google. One of the ways that they determine if you're malicious/human or not is to check if you have a Google cookie in your browser and are signed in. Not to mention fingerprinting (hardware and software info), browsing data, AI training ironically enough (the fucking streetlights), etc etc.

    Anubis is relevant here because it is more private, among other things.

  • YouTube doesn't let me watch without turning off my VPN?

    Jump

  • They're killing third-party client access, limiting adblockers, blocking VPNs, and forcing sign in more and more. I sincerely hate it but this was inevitable. They have their monopoly, this is just the "abuse that position and enshittify for more data and money" stage. I hope an alternative takes off because I refuse to play by their rules.

  • UK’s first use of city-wide facial recognition in Cardiff

    Jump

  • 5 Eyes has been simping for China's Golden Shield for as long as China has had it. Now Curtis Yarven and his circle of authoritarian tech bro freaks and 5 corpos in a trench coat are running America. Then the UK gets Apple to remove ADP and now, a nation that already has a hard-on for security cameras decides to expand biometric surveillance in quick succession. Hmm... interesting.

  • I think it would be cool if something like "meta-communities" existed. Fully adjustable, fully optional. Less duplicates.

    You'd sub to one meta c/memes or c/news and see a combined feed of all known instance's versions. Post to whichever you want, show up in the meta (if you want).

    If you still want to block from the meta sub or individually sub to c/memes on ABC instance, you could do that. Moderation would be subject to the instance the user posted on, subject to broader instance admin's defederations and stuff.

    Idk just a quick idea. Decentralization is good, but a little bit of... aggregation like this could go a long way without actually centralizing power. Could help communities (big and small niche) to grow.

  • Google spikes its explicit 'no AI for weapons' policy

    Jump

  • Their business was to index the entire internet. Now they practically are the internet. Don't be evil very much meant something beyond ads and imo it meant "don't fucking become Sauron"

  • Select a tip

    Jump

  • "Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good

    I don't know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don't have tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.

  • You either block them and die a liberal or you engage and observe and live long enough to start spreading their agitprop and using your new pronoun "comrade" as you lead the way to glorious revolution.

    (Seriously though, they're just people on a leftist political instance. You'll get the good, bad, and weird, same as any other place).

  • Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"

  • Honestly I'll still be using Proton and recommending it because it's just good and a net benefit for everyone, but goddammit Andy you should've taken Swiss neutrality to heart this time and not said anything.

  • transgenderism

    At risk of going slightly off topic, trans people aren't an -ism. It's not an ideology, though transphobes love to frame it that way (not saying you are).
