sculd, in Looks like Facebook is following youtube with anti-adblock measures.

This will not end well. YouTube is very difficult to replace while Facebook has plenty of competitors.

varsock, in Data broker’s “staggering” sale of sensitive info exposed in unsealed FTC filing

I feel so powerless, so hopeless.

Bills aren’t being passed by lawmakers because like many of us who care about privacy, they have not heard about the abilities of data brokers and have no visibility into how rampant and disgusting and invasive their behavior is.

Friends and family I talk to don’t care. “Oh well, what are they going to do, find me personally?”

I feel if people were able to look themselves up in these databases, they would fear it as well

Personally, I’m just waiting for a massive data broker leak to happen that involves politicians and other useless wanks like that. That’ll really jump their bones.

Nyfure, in Matic is a $1,795 robot vacuum for people concerned about privacy

Some/Many robot vacuums can be flashed with custom firmware and then only communicate locally.
Unfortunately it seems the software isnt as polished or well as cleaning, but i guess some less efficient cleaning vs phone-home crap is a good counter.

Kir, in Meta offering two options. Either buy addfree experience or accept targeted ads

I would happily pay (not for Facebook, but as a general consideration) if you would give me an ads free eperience AND stop gathering data from me.

At this point what about donate to fediverse like Lemmy to get an ads free experence anyway but without beign forced by corps?

Kir,

That’s what I am doing, actually

I wonder how the EU is gonna like those two options

glasgitarrewelt, in How are personal websites actually helpful for private expression?

Firstly, (assuming self-hosting isnt an option) won’t you have to use google or AWS to host your website?

It makes me very sad, that there are many people who believe that the internet comes down to Google, Amazon and Facebook.

possiblylinux127, in Some questions about switching to more privacy friendly options

Lemming and lemmons made me laugh so hard

FarraigePlaisteach, in Firefox needs a 180° turn to full privacy out of the box.

The problem I see is that if they get too idealistic/absolutist, they will end up just like those examples you mentioned (Brave, TorBrowser, Librewolf); less successful.

360° turn?

Klooney16Klan, in Chromite - Any sensible reviews?

Just use Iceraven, most underrated!

N4CHEM, in Chromite - Any sensible reviews?

As @netchami said, Bromite hasn’t been updated in months, it shouldn’t be used. Cromite is a proper successor forked by one of the contributors of Bromite.

netchami, in Chromite - Any sensible reviews?

Don’t use Bromite, it’s unmaintained and insecure. If you like Bromite, use Cromite instead. IMO the best browser on Android is Mull. Also, Cromite is spelled without an ‘h’.

shortwavesurfer, in How are personal websites actually helpful for private expression?

If you want to be sure, what I would do is host it on my local machine and not use a typical domain, but set up and run it as an onion over tor.

KarnaSubarna, in Cover Your Tracks: Test how well your browser protect you from tracking:
@KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml avatar

I personally consider this[1] to be the ultimate test of Browser fingerprint protection coverage. Let me know if you manage to find a way to defeat this test.

Why is the UK turning into a fucking dictatorship
