And even if you ‘exit’ to the woods, you’ll be easy to note, just by your absence (When the majority of the population are present, it is easier to note who is absent).
But we have to keep pushing back about these absurdities.
Does it though when they control both ends. It is encrypted between each end which I guess secures against things like a man in the middle attack from outside parties but their app encrypts it on one end and decrypts it on the other. I have a very hard time believing that they don’t “read” your messages at some point in that process.
i’ve seen the bullet points from that article riffed in different ways, but i think that’s the most important part:
They know you rang a phone sex line at 2:24 am and spoke for 18 minutes. But they don't know what you talked about.
They know you called the suicide prevention hotline from the Golden Gate Bridge. But the topic of the call remains a secret.
They know you got an email from an HIV testing service, then called your doctor, then visited an HIV support group website in the same hour. But they don't know what was in the email or what you talked about on the phone.
They know you received an email from a digital rights activist group with the subject line “Let’s Tell Congress: Stop SESTA/FOSTA” and then called your elected representative immediately after. But the content of those communications remains safe from government intrusion.
They know you called a gynecologist, spoke for a half hour, and then called the local abortion clinic’s number later that day.
I’ve wondered if they don’t know the data. They can perfectly read the convo on your device, assign a category what you’re talking about and keeping that category. They don’t store, read, know the conversation, they only ‘analyze’ it. F.e. if you talk about planes they may assign a category travel and sell your profile to holiday companies?
I don’t know about this, I’m just thinking that’s how I’d do it if I ran an evil corp.
This is basically like Domain Keys-Identified Mail (DKIM) but for a specific email address, without needing to own a domain to set it up. I’m gonna call it “P(ersonal)KIM” for short.
If this is implemented correctly it’ll be a few clicks to set up and then just work in the background to make it harder to impersonate you via email, even if you have a free email address.
Yea I didn’t know internet dashcams like the above existed, sounds like it would be expensive to get the same benefits out of it. A dashcam should work like a blackbox, it can’t lose data during a collision. The data should be easily accessible and not locked behind some proprietary format.
I’ve heard Garmin recommended for watches, maybe similar for dashcams? But again, like others are saying, most brands should probably be ok
Better to look for other factors like tolerance to shake/temperature or video quality in poor conditions (darkness, fog, glare)
An extreme (and hilarious) example of the power of hypertargeting was featured in AdWeek last year, when a marketing pro targeted his roommate with ads so specific the poor guy thought he was being cyberstalked.
Yeah, it’s hilarious, not at all depressing. I’m laughing all the way to a fascist dictatorship.
If they won’t change to something better like SimpleX then you could use github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-SMS . It is a fork of qksms that adds privacy, it will do nothing for video quality or anything else though.
Lemmy is, like a lot of Fediverse platforms, about as private as it can be. There’s no trackers, you’re not forced to use real names or any other identifying information, no adverts follow you from site to site, no browser fingerprinting and no instance owners are trying to sell your data.
Beyond that, what you choose to say on Lemmy is your responsibility and yours alone.
My thoughts exactly. I still remember when the reversed engineered codes for the classic GTAs were out (RE3), all GitHub forks were quickly taken down.
In communism there’s no space for the concept of family / family unit as there’s with the center-right and right-wing ideologies. To communists, or any other extremist regime, children are mostly state property that must be indoctrinated as soon as possible to follow the leadership’s mindset otherwise the system wouldn’t work.
Communism is all about state property in all aspects of life. You simply selling people the ideia that everything belongs to everyone (there’s no private property) and that everything should be shared when in fact what you’re trying to do is to instate an extremist government, very similar to a fascist one, that will take control over everything.
It’s good to be communist when you’re on top and I’m sure Hitler felt the same. Not so good when you’re the working class.
Wait, how come you don’t know who Alexandra Kollontai is? I’m not even anything left leaning and I know about her and her works. And yes she does have very good point, as do a lot of communist but still paints an image of communist and family. Here’s a good example:
Working mothers have no need to be alarmed; communist not intending to take children away from their parents or to tear the baby from the breast of its mother
That’s fair, yet a few lines bellow:
Society will feed, bring up and educate the child (…) Communist society will take upon itself all the duties involved in the education of the child
So you start by saying that the communists don’t want to take children away but then proceed to bring up and educate. That’s kind of suspicious.
To be fair, that could’ve even been true at some point. I see that a lot of the communist ideologies only work if seen from the right angle (ironic) and with good intentions, however what are really communist groups and parties nowadays?
Half of those groups got mixed up with the gender/identity bullshit people - those who end up yelling to politicians about children not getting free gender conversion therapy and whatnot. Those communist groups/parties groups/parties that don’t particularly share their views but agree to “bite the bullet” just for the numbers. Numbers are all fun but this will eventually backfire once those same groups lose their true ideology / identity and become associated with those people and lose all their credibility.
Idk for most people, but the reason I use proton mail is to avoid google parsing everything I receive to send me ads. I “have nothing to hide” on a legal pov, I’m not a criminal, the worst offence I do is like Jay walking or crossing at a red light on foot when there is no one at midnight. I don’t use proton services to protect myself from the law (or in other words to avoid the consequences of my acts), I just want to be a customer instead of a product.
You are a disgrace!!! How do you sleep with yourself?
DISGUSTING!

But that’s a really great point. It’s easy to thinking of your threat model as all or nothing. And you are right. I’m not hiding from the law. I’m hiding from advertisers. If the government acquires my information then it was a mistake on their part as there is nothing there to find other than emails from my bank.
Usually when one of Apple’s security measures is breached, the company would issue an update to patch it. We’d hope this will happen here, but the Chinese government is likely to apply pressure on the iPhone maker to leave the exploit unpatched – at least, on Chinese devices.
