TheSun, in Privacy First: A Better Way to Address Online Harms

Another good piece by the EFF. Its an important message to write about to your gov’t representatives if it resonates with what you feel is the way forward with regards to the misguided “internet safety” laws so many countries are trying to pass right now

The f-droid version should be ok for now, but if you installed this from the malware distribution channel aka the Playstore I would recommend to deinstall them before the next update hits.

Thy for the heads up.

Sad to see it go

random65837, in Help me choose my mobile browser

Don’t ask, test and answer for yourself. Do fingerprint and security checks and see what comes out best.

I use Brave and uBlock. It does better when tested than all the others, including Vanadium, which SHOULD be besting them all. Firefox has come in second but still can’t stop it from bring fingerprinted regardless of what I do to it, that includes its spinoffs. Brave passes them all with its default config.

There’s more in depth checks, but that easily covers the bases. If you’re being positively fingerprinted, the rest is a moot point.

random65837, in Kroger (grocery and pharmacy) Sued for Sharing Sensitive Health Data With Meta

What’s funny about that, is although I try to never shop at crap Kroger, sometimes its just easier, I noticed once when I wanted to check something for being in stock, I couldn’t view their website with my VPN up, didn’t matter the server. I said, they’re dataming something! Why would a read only website like that even care… I now know why.

random65837, in Plex starts narcing on its own users' anime and X-rated habits with an opt-out service, and it's going terribly

Anybody that still runs Plex deserves that shit. Its been a piece of shit for years and only gets worse.

I’ve been trying to warn folks to store your precious* family photos locally. A ton of people are gonna be bummed when they realize their photos are being held hostage behind API or data transfer payment plans. Sure they will let you view a 50x50 thumbnail to prove the photos are still alive. All cloud photo storage will essentially turn into ransomware.

____, in Why you should never use Facebook or Google to log in to third party websites - what to do instead

How about a headline that’s not pure clickbait.

Synthead,

NEVER CLICK THESE ↪️

GeneralEmergency,

How else would you attract the paranoid weirdos.

The cloud is NOT your computer, it is someone else’s hard disk. Your only legitimate storage is local storage.

This is what prompted me to switch to drive+ on proton, had been using google drive with cryptomator.

As others have said, using the cloud should never be your only backup solution.

XTL,

Let alone your only archive solution.
