mamus, in DivestOS is fundraising, no longer sustainable ($12,000 goal)

@jonah this is important!

He develops fennec, mull and much more.

loki,

I wouldn’t say he develops fennec, he contributes to fennec. relan develops fennec. Mull depends on fennec to remove proprietary blobs and builds it along with user.js from arkenfox.

This was a big concern in the Kuketz review. The whole project is basically one guy. Now this guy needs 12k in the next 7 weeks to keep going.

Divest is an amazing project and dealing with these costs is a major issue for any small business. Hoping for the best!

Donated. If you don’t reach the goal, hopefully it helps out in someway.

This dev is very important to the FOSS android ecosystem. I’ve divested an old phone and I love how opinionated the project is in regards to security. They are very active and take the project very seriously - when I submitted a bug report on github I got a response within three minutes!

Please donate!

Omg, this is a one man’s effort ?!!!

I thought they were a group of devs ( hence Divested Computing group ) !!

Anyways I’ll see what I can do

We are supporting on site/translating or trying to build DivestOS on new devices but most of its projects, the base is being maintained by Tad

Well I hope this goal is met before the end of the month, for a project this big not just in size but also in it’s impact on the privacy community it’s really not that much, I don’t use the OS but I use apps such as Mull and Hypatia and I would hate to see them die 😿

Gooey0210, in DivestOS is fundraising, no longer sustainable ($12,000 goal)

I don’t use any of their roms or apps but will donate $1-5

Have heard good things about the project, and there’s actually not that many similar projects out there

Long live foss, we are a legion

RedNight, in DivestOS is fundraising, no longer sustainable ($12,000 goal)

I’m not a heavy user of the Divested ecosystem or use the ROMs, but I’ll donate to keep the options healthy and encourage good work! I wish there were a couple more cryptocurrency options like ethereum and bitcoin cash.

joyful_hyaena, in Does the "Redirector" add-on affect your browser fingerprint in any way?

I would also like to know. I’ve been using Mullvad browser pretty much since it came out and I’ve always wanted to add the Libreddirect extension but never dared because of fingerprinting. I remember reading a while ago that on chromium browsers, some scripts can detect the mere presence of extensions. I have no idea if that could happen in firefow-based browsers as well.

fadhl3y, in UK proposes selfie-based, AI age verification system for porn sites

Classic - clearly some British politicians have shares in a facial AI company.

hydroptic, in ‘Constantly monitored’: the pushback against AI surveillance at work

The biggest threat from AI isn’t it going all Skynet on us, but how rich people will use it to the detriment of the rest of us.

AlexWIWA,

I’d honestly prefer skynet. At least it’d be instant

hydroptic,

Oh don’t you worry, we’ll probably get a nuclear war within the next few decades, it just won’t be caused by an evil AI

Showroom7561,

I’d honestly prefer skynet. At least it’d be instant we’d be able to fight back

Against the rich, we have no chance.

Cyberjin, (edited ) in ‘Constantly monitored’: the pushback against AI surveillance at work

Could be worse, like in China some has surveillance in the bathrooms, so the workers won’t slack off

Showroom7561, in ‘Constantly monitored’: the pushback against AI surveillance at work

All this technology, and none of it is being used to help employees. It’s all being used as weapons to punish them.

taladar,

And the worst thing is, punishing them won’t even lead to increased productivity so it is entirely pointless.

Showroom7561,

Because it’s not about productivity, it’s about obsessive control.

If it really was about productivity, most places would consider 4-day workweeks, flexible time-off, bathroom breaks without punishment, additional training and support to those who need it, a focus on work/life balance, and just basically treating workers like human beings and not robots.

shortwavesurfer, in Solene'% : NovaCustom NV41 laptop review

Also, from what I understand, they accept Monero for their laptops.

throwawayish,

Also, from what I understand, they accept Monero for their laptops.

That’s very cool. I didn’t even know that. Thank you for mentioning that!

Midnight, in The Battle for Biometric Privacy

What’s far more likely than 3d printed prosthetics becoming fashonable is people just rolling over and accepting the distopian surveilance state.

I can’t even get most of my family to use Signal to prevent Facebook from reading their private messages, what could happen to convince them to go full cyberpunk?

I was going to write exactly this… Most of people even from GenZ they just don’t care… Cofee, traveling, stories of traveling to make jealous other people and that’s life for 21st century…

ISOmorph,

It’s an age thing I think. My parents and their generation don’t give a shit about that stuff because they’ll be dead in 10-20 years anyway (their words). My gen and the ones after seem to be have more sensibility to that topic because they’ll have to live in that dystopian hellscape.

Midnight,

If everyone you know uses secure messaging apps, youre in a bubble; their adoption rate is very small.

Of the people I know, even those who use Signal/Matrix still use Chrome and GMail/Docs/Drive. They have a long way to go before they don prosthetic noses.

dotslashme, in The Battle for Biometric Privacy

Okay it really is time to invent a scramble suit
