So I finally did the math on data brokerage and worked out how much we're all being robbed

I know this isn’t strictly piracy related, I apologise, but I think it is tangentally related in that piracy protects you from data theft by avoiding the services the biggest thieves operate. Also, I feel like people here might be very interested in this take....

wowwoweowza,

Perfectly relevant. Thank you.

I enjoyed reaching the gist of your meaning: Legislation needs to be written.

So let’s hope that can happen.

And on a personal level, what have you heard about people who intentionally make their data useless?

This has been my strategy.

I never buy what’s recommended.

I purchase items with cash when I can so they are not added to my “profile”.

Have you heard much about this strategy? How might it work if everyone used it? Generally thoughts for how we can defy their machine and protect ourselves?

wowwoweowza,

You need to hand a twenty to a dude on the corner. That’s privacy. We used to have it.

wowwoweowza,

uBlock Origin and Matrix are entirely new to me — of course I can’t have missed references to them in discussions but I just don’t have the time to chase down every good idea.

Simply getting engaged with the Fediverse has been adventure enough.

Here’s hoping more and more people start valuing their privacy more and more.

wowwoweowza,

Hhhmmm… yeah, I might be out of the loop on this one. I only saw that video today for the first time.

And I’m sorry but I do find this meme hilarious.

While I was watching crying lady, I kept wondering: what has changed soooo much that she wants to believe trump is god.

wowwoweowza,

Is it possible a film studio, or legal agency, could set up a Lemmy Instance and then capture all our IPs?

wowwoweowza,

So basically the only thing protecting our anonymity is the relative unpopularity of Lemmy?

wowwoweowza,

Hope I didn’t fall for Any honeypots. I sometimes wonder about posts in Piracy communities.

wowwoweowza,

One would hope…

wowwoweowza,

Well, that’s good news. Not sure why it was easy for me in Firefox but impossible in Safari.

Thanks for taking a peek.

wowwoweowza,

Wow! That’s awesome. Thank you!

Still, I can’t believe we’ve allowed the corporations to dictate the whole select all option — glad there’s a work around, but seriously, we used to have the select all feature everywhere.

wowwoweowza,

Listen — I’m just trying to get things straight. Isn’t this the very definition of a Shitpost?

wowwoweowza,

Thought so. There’s a good Shitpost community here in Lemmy.

wowwoweowza,

You’re the only one who gets it.

wowwoweowza,

Magaheads are praying for this. Reasonable people know it’s baloney.

Notice skeletor running away — even he knows.

wowwoweowza,

I guess we were all there.

Does anyone know what happened?

wowwoweowza,

Link to some posts or comments? I haven’t seen this.

I believe reading books in public is healthy for communities and I’m no troll.

wowwoweowza,

I only saw the video and got triggered by all the corporate logos.

I’m not certain how people use those corporate videos through some library app but at the end of the day, any use of those apps benefits the corporation behind them.

wowwoweowza,

Came to Lemmy so I don’t get advertising. Pretty sure infantile cartoon can be made without obvious product placement?

wowwoweowza,

Joke employed to feature product. Tomato, tomahto.

wowwoweowza,

It’s not a mistake. Creators need to be reminded product placement has zero role at Lemmy.

wowwoweowza,

Feel basically the same way you feel except that curiosity has gotten the better of me more than once.

Feels like Lemmy should be seeing more growth?

wowwoweowza,

There was a glitch with my instance this morning — Lemmy.ml. Haven’t used what happened but these enterprises are not a piece of cake to keep going.
