Glorified network janitor. Perpetual blueteam botherer. Friendly neighborhood cyberman. Constantly regressing toward the mean. Slowly regarding silent things.
I still see and hear occasional traditional ads, as they’re hard to avoid in public spaces or in my snail-mail box, but I don’t see online advertising since I adblock and spam-filter very aggressively. If a site is tries to anti-adblock (like Twitch) I just stop using them.
I don’t think my “daily seen” number ever gets to three digits.
Well have fun with the lottery!
How about building a society where you have a freedom to do meaningful things without having to amass wealth?
How about building a society where the poor don’t have to rely on donations from the rich?
They will begin so, but the regulation means the authorities can backdoor your device way easier than they can today. It doesn’t mean your custom ROM device will be free of the scanning software forever.
It also means that you need to know that the receiving device you’re communicating with is clean custom ROM device, otherwise your messages will be scanned on the receiving side.
The regulation is a complete shitshow privacy nightmare hiding under CSAM trenchcoat. We’d do well to organize and fight against it, instead of trying to back down to the perceived safety of esoteric custom ROMs.
Why would I want to get rich?
Just a matter of time as soon as it gets passed. https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/29/europol-sought-unlimited-data-access-in-online-child-sexual-abuse-regulation/
assuming the baddies don’t already have full access to your phone data
That’s the whole point of Chat Control 2.0
It’s great as long as you can guarantee that the person you’re communicating on the receiving side does the same. Otherwise it’s useless as your messages will be read on the receiving device. In practice it will make private communication extremely cumbersome and niche.
Also, the authorities can backdoor your custom ROM device at will, when seized.
ChatControl 2.0, if passed means your entire device is backdoored so it doesn’t matter what apps you installl, they can get your info pre-encryption
Yeah bud, very topical
Getting really positive reviews from techbro YouTubers though
Tell me, what data does Beehaw sell to the brokers?
Yeah, the poster above said “no wireless capability” though. NFC is wireless.
Or maybe we shouldn’t be allowing data collection and surveillance in the first place.
Hard to use when having to ID you on websites
To answer to your question, no, most people don’t. And at any case, showing a screen like that is far too late in the process. If the user has decided to install Instagram, then showing them a screen like this won’t do a thing. Their mind is already made. If we want online privacy to really matter, then the question of online privacy needs to be solved higher up in political policy level in form of regulations as well as lower level in form of awareness and education. It can’t be left to be done in app installation screen by individual end-users.
Good on you for being privacy conscious though.
Their clients feed them with data. Given that Peter Thiel is behind Palantir, you can pretty much count on all the big social media companies cooperating with them.
Yes, I think you’re correct. The noise/signal ratio tends to be bad in online communities and especially in social media (as with any other topic). I’ve met some lovely (and attractive!) trans people in work life. Never dated one though, as I’ve been “off the market” for years now, but I don’t find the idea any stranger than dating anyone else. If there’s a mutual connection, then that’s all I need. The rest will sort itself out and this, as you rightfully point out, has become stronger and clearer the older I’ve become.
Evolution of Homo Sapiens was inevitable which means destruction of the entire habitat and all species in it is also unavoidable.
