the AI thing must be something relatively new. shows they are all for using buzz tech

businesses are truly developing malware

because they don’t yet circumvent it. but also, are you completely sure everything is blocked? DoT, DoH traffic and such?

as an additional measure, sure. but these blocks are not hard to circumvent, so it’s not enough in itself

That’s undoubtedly useful, but won’t help with the google part, even if it uninstalls some google apps

GrapheneOS for google pixel phones, otherwise CalyxOS, DivestOS, maybe even IodéOS. All of these are Android but with better defaults, without irremovable spying garbage, and with some features nowhere else available.

if your phone is not supported by these, check LineageOS. or plan your next phone purchase according to the compatibility list of the above. if you’re going for longevity but you don’t need a flagship, Fairphone is agood choice, if you can look away from the lack of a JACK.

google through only the web, what a fucking joke. if you have a google account check your activity history. it will list the times you have opened an app.

if you don’t have a google account but your phone has google services, don’t be afraid that you can’t check it, they’re still harvesting it.

want to avoid it?
Step 0: don’t by samsung. xiaomi neither, they plan to make you unable to execute the next step.
Step 1: unlock your phone. take ownership into your hands. but back up your photos, the 2FA Authenticator app’s data and whatever else is important, because it will get deleted.
Step 2: install a privacy oriented custom ROM.
Step 3: profit

keep bank services contained in the firefox browser. if they don’t allow access there, switch banks, you’ll be better off with a smaller one anyways.

that sounds interesting, but in this idea would those people have to pay for the expenses of the eldely? in my understanding the problem is not that the elderly wouldn’t be able to take care for themselves generally, but that they wouldn’t be able to pay for things they need or want.

as I see both fewer and more is bad. more is bad because of overpopulation, but fewer is also bad because of how the pension system works at most places

oh, they have forked the linux kernel, so cute!
I mean, this is an individual forking it, not a group of people, right?

but reading the first 2 paragraphs, they are so full of shit that I wouldn’t trust them with a butter knife.

and then what’s the benefit of having veracrypt as a flatpak package? that it can be used with older dependencies? if so, is that a good thing to have for things that modify system startup?

It’s clear that it’s not free software, because as the name suggests, that’s about freedoms.

What is not really clear is that it’s not open source. To me at least it means that the source is public, you can change it, use it, send in patches, etc, but possibly with some limitations.

I really don’t understand the difference between free software and open source at tis point. It would make sense to me if this would make it nonfree, but I don’t understand why is it not open source anymore. Isn’t the open source definition a broader one than that of free software?

they’re pretty basic compared to it, both in regards to triggers and actions

FIFA only cares about maximum profits, when was accountability important to them on any level?

I figured that every node would need to scrap the site, in order to validate the content. If there are thousands of nodes, that would ddos the site.

with cryptocurrencies the blockchain is distributed, its not stored centrally. your idea could work similarly

have a look at the community sidebar

I fear just the same will happen to all the other encrypted messengers too, to discourage everyone from using it. it’s a bit like if this was connected to the same gang that so much wants to outlaw secure encryption

that too, but not just that. how does access control work, how is memory safety around the receiving and authenticating code, is the traffic encrypted and how…because keystrokes, and I think mouse actions are also sensitive

the only remaining question is, how is security?
