  1. Create an IG account with a burner email and join the chat
  2. Sell all other member’s data to advertisement, scam telephone services, mailing lists, etc… subscribe all of them to newsletters from amazon and pornsites (or just wait for all of that to happen naturally)
  3. Wait for someone to bring this up
  4. "I told you, we should move to Signal"
  5. Bring everyone over
  6. Win

I hate Gen Z

Dude. I have a group that only talks on Facebook Messenger. It’s 100% Gen X and Millennials. Don’t blame the generation, it just makes you sound like an old man yelling “get off my lawn”.

Who the fuck uses instagram for group chats?

MagneticFusion,

fushuan, in Not that you guys need the reminder, but your work sees all your browser history and you may not even be able to delete it if you wanted to

if you don’t have your personal browsing using a private profile of a secondary browser which you know you can delete, you are doing it wrong.

Syo, in Starting today Facebook must pay $100.000 to Norway each day for violating our right to privacy.
@Syo@kbin.social avatar

LOL. To put that in perspective, let imagine it's some $100,000 annual pay worker. This means Facebook just added 365 employees to their ranks, if they ignored this order completely.

They fire and hire people in the thousands, the penalty is a joke of scale.

moody,

Except this is for a single country. Is it worth that kind of expense for 5 million people? Does Facebook make $36.5 million in profit just in Norway? If not, then this is a net loss for them.

For those who are dumb like I am, the fine is one hundred thousand per day and not one hundred per day (the decimal threw me off)

themoonisacheese, in Google seems to be blocking API access for Piped video servers
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

They are definitely in a crackdown phase. Some revanced versions stopped working just yesterday, the yt-dlp stuff, the ad block block…

The best hope would be to get off of YouTube but that’s not happening any time soon given how expensive bandwidth is.

GreenMario,

I updated mine last week cuz it was stopping videos a minute in. Seems to work for now.

pazzeda,

Had the same issue, updating the patches via the manager worked.

Nawor3565, in Google seems to be blocking API access for Piped video servers

Not to be a downer but… how did people not anticipate this happening? Google is likely going to do everything they can to shut down non-official clients like Piped, since they’re sidestepping all of YouTube’s revenue streams. Hopefully they don’t take the nuclear option and somehow lock down the API and make it much harder to download videos via tools like yt-dlp.

Devjavu, in Google seems to be blocking API access for Piped video servers

If you are using LibreTube this is fixable by disabling piped proxies in the setting. HOWEVER do be warned that Youtube will know your IP, so you should only really do this while using a VPN service.

xuxebiko,

Real heroes don't wear capes, they give solid advice.

ps: thanks

Supercharger, in A entry-based password manager?

The recently released Proton Pass is also open-source and audited, keeps all the entries (including metadata) encrypted, and has a nice UI on mobile.

Xelnoc, in What do you think about Skiff? Is it worth checking out?
@Xelnoc@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

If you really care about privacy, self-hosting is the only way to go. Gives you maximum control over your data and is not too difficult to set up.

Eris, in What do you think about Skiff? Is it worth checking out?

Obvious ad???

CrypticCoffee, in What do you think about Skiff? Is it worth checking out?

Is it just me that keeps seeing questions about Skiff that look more like adverts?

It… doesn’t feel… organic.

Anyone that promises encrypted mail is a liar. Until the email consortium or whatever they’re called offer encryption as standard, all email is sent as plain text.

AphoticDev, in This is the last stand.
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

This isn’t the last stand. This is the latest stand. While this fight might seem the biggest, never forget it’s not the last we’ll have to take part in. If this fails, they’ll keep coming with some new idea later on down the road in order to deny us our right to privacy. Don’t give up. Keep giving them hell every step of the way.
