Rearsays, in Meta payment message

It seems like a nice idea that they offer a paid option for an ad free internet

glasgitarrewelt,

Still a privacy nightmare, with and without ads.

Seems like a very interesting app. Is it open source by any chance?

The EU is also run by legacy plutocratic elites desperate to retain their power.

The rich over there is just as tasty.

ReversalHatchery,

Forget the guillotine, we need to roast them live and eat the rich

/s but is it?

alt, in What can we do about major sites blocking VPN providers?

I don’t know if it even works, but have you considered relying on their Stealth protocol? While its absence on Linux (and Windows) means that you might not even be able to make use of it in the first place, I’m still interested to know if it makes any difference.

Lemmchen,

Is there an open source alternative?

QuazarOmega,

There’s proxygram which is still work in progress, but it’s already looking pretty good for now imo

OsrsNeedsF2P, in windows and privacy

I’m a big fan of Ameliorated, it lets you turn any existing Windows install to a custom one with this thing called “Playbooks”. Their “Revi OS Playbook” has privacy as a rated feature, and although I haven’t used it, Ameliorated has always worked great for me in the past

Anamana, in Shoshana Zuboff on surveillance capitalism | VPRO Documentary

Everyone should read it, or at least understand the main points of the book if they are invested in privacy related topics.

online,

Are there any good reading guides online to accompany it? I remember reading books like this in university and the professor would help us with critical reading. I bet there’s something out there like that. 🤔

    There’s proof they allowed Microsoft to use trackers though…I dig DDG as they were one of the first functional alternative search engines to Google with an emphasis on privacy, yet there are much better options today. I’m going to have to peep kagi based on this thread, but I’ll need to be strongly convinced to switch from SearXNG.

    Vexz, in I learned about startpage recently.

    Startpage was bought by an advertising company. I suggest to not bother with that search engine anymore.

    Nothing new, but it’s still a privacy centred search engine, but, same as Google search, whose engine does it use, puts advertisings, related to the search at the beginning of the results. It’s annoying but not put in risk your privacy. You can check it by yourself, with Webkoll, UrlVoid, Blacklight, etc. There are no cookies, trackers, logs or other profiling crap in Startpage. Anyway there are a lot of other search engines out there which you can use, Whoogle, Andisearch, AstianGo (default search engine from the Midori browser, a FF fork, but better, FOSS), Mojeek, Qwant, MetaGer, DDG, if you have little children, the 100% family save Swisscows, if you want planting trees or support social projects, use Ecosia or Good search. All of these protect your privacy and don’t log your searches, nor track you. Sponsor ads, or context based, like Startpage has, instead on surveilling or profiling, to create incommings, are not a privacy or security issue, server costs money. If you want to avoid it, you must use a selfhosted solucion or trust a public instance (Whoogle, SearX) or use a search engine which recieve a commision when you buy something online (Andisearch) or similar methodes that do not compromise your data.

    To avoid are Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc, which make money with surveillance advertising, logging your search and profiling you to sell your data to advertising companies, this is a risk and lack of privacy, not the other

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

    This is cool but it would have to be like a third that price before anyone could take the leap. If anything someone should find some way to hack and replace the spyware in a Roomba or something

    LiveLM,

    Well aren’t you in luck, people are doing exactly that over valetudo.cloud
    Not for Roombas but on a couple Xiaomi/Dreame/Roborock models.

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

    Oh my God you have to pay for a service you use?

    The scandal! The outrage! The horror!

    NENathaniel,
    @NENathaniel@lemmy.ca avatar

    That pricing is clearly insane and unreasonably high

    bioemerl,

    Then don't use it. I don't use Facebook every day.

    NENathaniel,
    @NENathaniel@lemmy.ca avatar

    People who want to use FB every day (that doesn’t include me) shouldn’t have to choose between targeted ads, and excessively high pricing.

    They could have continued non-targeted ads or made the pricing reasonable

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

    ooooor use whatever brand and model is compatible with Home Assistant

    otter, in How Google, Facebook and others use our most personal secrets against us

    Video is set to private. Do you have another link?

    mindbleach, in AI Generated CSAM Is Out of Control

    There is no such thing.

    God dammit, the entire point of calling it CSAM is to distinguish photographic evidence of child rape from made-up images that make people feel icky.

    If you want them treated the same, legally - go nuts. Have that argument. But stop treating the two as the same thing, and fucking up clear discussion of the worst thing on the internet.

    You can’t generate assault. It is impossible to abuse children who do not exist.

    m0darn,

    Did nobody in this comment section read the video at all?

    The only case mentioned by this video is a case where highschool students distributed (counterfeit) sexually explicit images of their classmates which had been generated by an AI model.

    I don’t know if it meets the definition of CSAM because the events depicted in the images are fictional, but the subjects are real.

    These children do exist, some have doubtlessly been traumatized by this. This crime has victims.
