Ooh, how long till some manufacturer makes the old blackberry mistake? You used to be able to call 911 and hang up to unlock the phone


Cuz I can Also I sort by new comments, I dunno who put it back to the top


Yep, and not just that. The rejection has to be just as easy as accepting it



Ooh! Organic maps! Don’t pre download too much map area tho, cuz it gets slooooowww… if you do


  • A family member might have searched it
  • An ad network might have reported on your piracy (especially now with privacy sandbox)
  • Your media player might just be doing some tracking and/or insecure searching for metadata
  • Siri or something might have popped open
  • You googled to get to the piracy website
  • You may have just looked up the movie, and the movie was popular with pirates

Don’t get too paranoid


They’re probably getting this part of the project started, and might go for more once this works



And grammar nazis
you’re right tho



Well, yes, technically. But then again, if google decides to stop doing that firefox can’t pay for it’s staff or infrastructure. Really, they have an incentive to listen


Chrome came up with that feature a while back. Now firefox is adding the same. And then later I learned it was a cooperative effort, just not under the same name


They developed the “privacy sandbox” together. And in terms of cashflow, they depend on that google money. They’re in trouble without it




Europe has decent privacy laws, that’s how I avoid it


Welp, more people who shouldn’t have had kids




Well, it’s not here yet. And I do use windows 11, as does my mom, my grandparents and other pc’s I’m the one helping with. I don’t recall any recalls :p

And if they do push it here, it’s probably followed by a news headline “eu fined Microsoft 10 billion for gdpr violation” or something like that


Personally, I say F smart tv’s. The smart bit is going to be old and useless in three years. The panel will last me over a decade.

Yes, you can ignore all the nagging and smart stuff and just set it to an hdmi input or something.

Then hooking up a 3rd party smart box is what I recommend.



Stupidly enough, that’s illegal in the places this ruling is from. What’s going on there?



a post of a post of a post of a post of a photo of a slide of a presentation I can’t seem to find the source tho




From what I’ve seen there’s a lot of very bad security advice out there with even tech journalists and such just straight up repeating stuff they don’t understand


A customized copy of ungoogled chromium



Shows them with the “you’re not going to have a calculator everywhere” talk




I’ve had YouTube load in a new incognito tab where I left off, then revert back to the start half a second later. Google just being google


Yes, porn and not giving away all of their data to keep them safe



Ahh, that is indeed a critical detail on the implementation not quite clear right away. To be honest I don’t trust the end-to-end encryption most of these services offer. If I want perfect privacy, I’m sticking to self hosting stuff


ey there you go, you bothered to actually read. Your chats remain with your provider!

It’s not like you were expecting privacy while sending your content through other people’s platform, were you?


No, I actually read the current proposal. Maybe try that before regurgitating random stuff that matches your opinion


The proposal only does so under specific circumstances, which makes sense. Try to read more than three words before your respond


Reading it, it looks like it doesn’t require invasive oversight as long as the chat apps and app stores have sufficient detection and such.

really, that’s what such places already should have, considering how much profit they make off of our data
