privacy

So I have a rather simple question, where do you all backup your music, movies and photos to that’s stored on your NAS?

Privacy is not just an illusion; it’s a delusion. Things like privacy statements and permission to use cookies are little more than sophisticated propaganda. If you think for a moment the Overlords cannot prepare a dossier on you within minutes that would make your mother faint and your father die of shame, you’re living in...

Hi lemmy,...

Are there any custom roms/setup to make a fire tv faster and safer?...

I use Canva a fair bit for work, is there anything similar that’s more privacy friendly? I don’t always want to open up Gimp, ideally it’ll be available online as well.

Hello everyone!...

Yeah, I’m sure this is a pretty newbie question, but here I go:...

I have a feeling I know the answer, but thought it worth an ask, so here goes - I’ve not used FB in years, and generally try to keep fairly private online (Mullvad, librefox, etc) but I’ve found I’m missing out by not being able to use FB marketplace. If I set up a fresh account, and don’t use the social side of it at...

Hey just wondering if its a problem on my end but a self update notification indicating a newer version of signal keeps popping up. I already have the latest version of the apk, 6.40.4, installed from their website, but the notification does not go away. I click it and then it states the application has been updated but after a...

Are there any privacy friendly dash cams on the market? Something that doesn’t phone home, require shady brand apps, force me into cloud storage, etc.

PSA: It seems the latest version of the Reolink Android app (v4.43.0.5.20240111) is capturing the phone’s clipboard when first opened, and again whenever the clipboard contents change and the app is brought into the foreground....

It is my hope that Privacy is the community for this. I think freedom to use browsers the way we intend is a privacy issue....

Typically, my ISP provides ~500mbps down, but Mullvad seems to struggle to get above 220mbps. Is this typical?...

I use newpipe, freetube instead of youtube....

you can see this is a throwaway account, you likely won’t get replies. btw i recently switched from edge to arc browser since i got an invite somehow (am using startpage as my search engine)

You cannot change it, you must setup ScreenTime and disable Siri WebSearch...

I have never used Google Messages but I will most likely have to start using it once RCS support is added on iOS....

Without naming names, there’s a well advertised grammar editing tool that’s available either as an app download or browser extension. This is something I’d value for a number of reasons (good grammar is important!) but I’m super cautious about anything I’m giving permission to watch what I’m typing....

I found out about Clarity, it’s a Microsoft free product. It seems to be source available on Github...

If it were possible to run LLMs without a significant investment to GPU prowess, this problem wouldn’t be very relevant. However, the bigger FOSS LLMs require a lot of power to run....

I’ve never owned a TV before but recently purchased a Samsung TV....

Is there a site like ‘cover your tracks’ for showing that websites can see what extensions I have (as opposed to other fingerprinting)? Thank you 🙃

This year we made good progress. You know, Linux gaming becoming better, Reddit fucking up, Metaverse failing etc. But on the other hand Big Tech has or are planning to make some moves. Such as, Google’s Web Enviroment Integrity API (EDIT: they backed off), UK’s encryption bill, etc....
