dan1101, in How to get a private car

The average salesman will act like they know but they don’t. About the only choice for a private vehicle is going to be an older vehicle. New ones are getting less private and larger and more expensive. Go with an older but we’ll cared for Honda or Toyota.

ExLisper, (edited ) in How to get a private car

Privacy and cars are mutually exclusive. If you want privacy use public transport and pay in cash. With cars you have licence plate scanner, cameras and tollbooths everywhere (no to mention that most people drive with their phones on them). “They” will know where were you driving no matter what car you use. The question really is what data are you trying to hide and from who? The obvious thing to do is not to give your data to advertisers. Selling you shit is the whole point of most of the data collection. Just get extra phone and use some fake google account for android auto and you should be fine here. As for car companies all they will gather is some generic data about your driving habits but guess what? Everyone knows this already because driving is not private (again, if you want to hide this use public transport). So yeah, it would be nice for car companies to be more transparent about the data they gather and how they use it but it’s really not a big issue. If you’re paranoid about it then don’t drive. If you’re driving the data your car is leaking though analytics is not your biggest problem.

lud,

Maybe they really want or need a car? They asked for the best car not for the most privacy friendly option in the world.

You don’t have to go out and live on a farm in the mountains just because you care about privacy. There are degrees of privacy.

ExLisper,

There are degrees of privacy.

And what did I say? “Just get extra phone and use some fake google account for android auto and you should be fine”. Kind of like I’m saying that while total privacy is not possible you can find a good compromise, wouldn’t you say?

No need for AI for this, Google already do it since years tech.eu/…/no-one-is-coming-to-save-us-from-big-te…

ModsAreCopsACAB, in Do you use Mull browser? If so you may want to donate to keep Divested computing alive so they can continue to maintain Divest os and Mull among other things.

Begging for donations smh. If something deserved donations it wouldn’t need beg campaigns.

BearOfaTime,

What a juvenile, idiotic take.

Ah,your name says it all.

ModsAreCopsACAB,

Repeating yourself there buddy? Should probably get your head checked. Maybe if you stopped licking cop boot that would give you time to take some meds.

@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

No catch, iFastNet is a good choice with a very good price. www.infinityfree.com/premium/

liliumstar,

That looks like a web hosting provider, not a VPS.

ArtemisArrow3579,

makes sense lol

LWD, (edited ) in VPS suggestions?

For those posting suggestions, do the providers also require KYC at some point?

I know for a fact that Vultr, Digitalocean, and Namecheap (and a few others people have mentioned to me before) will need your identity at time of purchase.

I can understand why verifying a customer’s identity is important to these providers, but at the same time, I’m mostly worried that they will be the victims of some data breach in the future.

I can’t understand why KYC is needed.

LWD,

I’m guessing they want to cover their butt in case their server is used for something illicit. But even in searching for something as locked down as, say, a Minecraft server, I ran into the same issue.

It’s strange, because generally you can use a fake identity and a masked card to purchase… just about anything, really.

liliumstar,

I know that DO does require KYC, not sure about Vultr.

Namecheap does not. I have a VPS with them, paid via crypto, and they don’t have any real details about me.

T0RB1T, in How do I prevent others random device suggestions in Public Areas?
@T0RB1T@lemmy.ca avatar

I’m sorry for being this way, really, but why couldn’t you just crop the picture?!

drwho, in Ghostery Private Search

Hmm.

We’ll see.

BurningRiver, in What site can scan sites for trackers?

DuckDuckGo browser will block and list trackers and third party requests. I use it on iOS and there’s a desktop app as well. Not sure about android though.

FriendBesto, in Riot Games Now Requires Kernel-Level Anti-Cheat Software for League of Legends, Following Valorant's Implementation

Kernel level? Hahaha. No thanks.

Gooey0210, in the encryption keys, why can't the government just sneak on them?

the government

The secret world government ☝️

ArcaneSlime, in PSA: Anyone can tell if you are using WhatsApp on your computer

This is a security feature to let you know that the sender may be an imposter, right? Like matrix’s verified sessions, if my friend gets a new phone or pc it’s unverified and I have to verify the new session through another means, like in person or phone.

hexagonwin, in Not even Notepad is safe from Microsoft’s big AI push in Windows

Users can just use W10 LTSC IOT until 2032 and switch to Linux or ReactOS by then lol… This thing just isn’t worth using

jacktherippah, in What is your tracker stats?

Just as a heads up, Exodus is highly misleading

xilliah, in The Irish government wants to pass a law that could see you or your loved ones jailed for possession of memes, cartoons or any content that could be deemed "hateful".

Also I’ve always felt that distribution is the problem, if you can call it that.
