nobody should listen to anything Iran has to say, they are a tyrannical state

But the thing is out of the big companies, basically none of them are in the business of selling the data they have. They are much better off if they don’t allow competitors to grow by keeping all the data to themselves.

Proton pass if general UX and speed are important to you. Bitwarden if amount of features is important to you

Time to crank up their openAI bill 😎😎

Looks like an issue with your windows install. I would check in the settings that you’re not in power saving mode or something like that, it could reduce the power allocation for the GPU and CPU, and it may also disable the dedicated GPU when enabled. It’s true there are some games that are faster in Linux, but it’s usually within 5-10% of Windows, not over double the performance

Yes but when you are logged in, you can add the passkey that belongs to the new device to your account

For 2 reasons:

• I want to sync my credentials that cannot be made unique and revocable (ie passwords). I can have a single passkey per device, I cannot have a password per device for a same account. I also have to memorize a password, and I have hundreds that I may need to access while I am away and only have my phone.
• I use one because currently I have not found a convenient way to save local passkeys on Android and my Linux PC.

There are already systems in place that allow temporary passkey sharing, for example with a QR code (CaBLE) https://www.corbado.com/blog/webauthn-passkey-qr-code

I agree and I still store my passkeys in proton pass, but that’s more because there’s no real option for storing them locally only. I really like passkeys and they make me optimistic about the future, it’s just that I think the way they should work is that each device should have a passkey registered to an account, so that the access can then be revoked if the device was compromised. And it’s even convenient in this way with the QR codes that you can use to temporarily share a passkey to then be able to add the new device.

I read the post more closely and saw that this isn’t about syncing the keys across password managers, it’s about transfering them to a different password manager/device. In that case I’m okay with the initiative. This is to prevent lock-in and I’m all for it.

I have one, but I use it as a second factor because it does not have a way of identifying me

I don’t like that passkeys are portable, this kind of defeats the entire purpose. The way they were sold to me is the following: it’s 2 factors in one. The first is the actual device where the key lives, and the second, the user verification, like a pin, face scan, fingerprint etc. If it’s synced across the cloud, there’s no longer the first factor being the unique key on the unique device.

Granted, passkeys even without the first factor are still magnitudes better in terms of convenience and security compared to passwords, but it just disappoints me a little that there are no good options to save passkeys on my local device only, with no cloud sync.

If anyone knows of a local-only passkey manager app for android, as well as the same as a firefox extension, I’d love to know about it!

This could be useful, but the thing is, your IP address is rarely what is used to identify you on the internet, even in private browsing mode. Your particular combination of hardware and your behavior (how you interact with it) speak much more than an IP that can be used by more than 1 person.

Yes there m illegal things on social media, but they are not public group chats with hundreds of people in them sharing info on how to do x crime better. What you will mostly see on Instagram etc when it’s about illegal stuff are links to those telegram channels. And yes meta/everyone else should definitely do better at moderatibg their platforms.

Telegram isn’t in trouble because they are a ““private”” messenger because 1) they aren’t and 2) they basically asked for it. They are hosting pirates, drug dealers and scammers and they refuse government requests for the data they have about the user. That is the issue: not complying with data requests. For example, signal, a truly secure messenger, will comply with data requests and will send the authorities everything they have about a user, which is really not that much to begin with. This whole Telegram story is absolutely unrelated to chat control

All of the illegal stuff like that that I’ve seen around on social media always linked to telegram channels. Most of the time what you see on regular social media are bots advertising the telegram channels, where the real people are at

I simply think that until now (maybe they will start tomorrow), the PR and lawsuit risk of listening to people is too high, for the benefit they would get out of it. Much simpler metrics are enough for them to get a very good profile of the user. Voice data isn’t like in the test scenarios where the person will repeat 45x the word cat food, people talk about the weather and about gas prices which is pretty useless for creating an ad profile if you ask me. But the scary part is now with AI models and on device AI everything, local processing of the mic data into topics that then get sent to their servers is more concerning is not much more feasible.

And for the lawsuits I am not sure they could write it off as a bug everywhere other than the us and Canada because there are actually normal laws in most other countries

They are certainly very creepy but I doubt companies like Google or Meta even need this kind of data from a third party. If they truly wanted to have mic access, they could for a long time, and it would have been known. The reality is it is too expensive and risky to run this kind of spying, and I don’t think the benefit is worth the risk to them. To me this screams “SCAMMERS”.

For a team of 20 people matrix is way overkill imo

Thx, edited

Proton Pass or Bitwarden are both very good options. Here is my breakdown of their pros and cons:

Pros of Proton Pass over bitwarden

• Much better UI/UX (in terms of looks and ease to navigate)
• The app is feels much faster than Bitwarden’s, maybe its not objectively, but it feels lightyears ahead in terms of speed
• Possibility for separate email and username fields
• more seamless integration with simplelogin aliases than what Bitwarden has
• TOTP is available in the free version

Cons of proton pass compared with bitwarden:

• No “Identity” item type (vault item where you can store info about yourself like your SSN etc.)
• No payment card autofill
• Can only register the “generic” 6-digit type of TOTP (Steam guard TOTP didn’t work when I tried it)
• No custom fields that auto-fill on the web page
• less settings in general, for example, you can’t decide of the hashing algorithm of your account’s password, and you can’t tweak the hashing parameters
• more expensive
• less “Foss”: the server code is not published and there are no 3rd party servers like vaultwarden

If you want to be extra safe I guess the best way would be to use the web version of Instagram with ublock origin installed. If you can find a way to use Firefox containers on Android as well it could really restrict what they can access.

Yeah I guess torrents would be the closest thing to federated video, but seeing the download speed of most torrents that I find even ones with many seeds, it is often balls slow

Very unlikely to happen, it’s way too expensive or demanding to run at a significant scale and it would probably end up with a single monolithic instance

JMP supports SIP, so that could be worth looking into, because I don’t think call forwarding services exist for xmpp to sim, but sip to sim probably exists. You might also want to cross post this to the sopranica community on lemmy

!sopranica@lemmy.ml

Maybe your flip phone has support for an XMPP client, I don’t think there’s a single os without an xmpp client, but you may need to jailbreak it

I think it’s fine because the recording is not saved unless you explicitly tell it to save. If it’s anything like Nvidia’s shadow play, you set an amount of time, say 5 minutes that it keeps in memory, and when you save the clip, it simply saves that file containing the last 5 minutes.

I have seen reports of Firefox crashing under Wayland and that the way to make it work was to disable Wayland in Firefox or iirc to add a kernel parameter. Maybe it was fixed in Firefox too, but I saw some people saying the flatpak was somehow now affected (?)

Oh, I hear there are some pretty major issues with Firefox and explicit sync on Wayland. Does anyone know if fedora will have patches to make sure everything works fine when it releases to rpmfusion? If not then I might wait a bit…

POG

You should not be using any kind of digital communication for criminal activities. OP, if your only goal is to prevent companies from scanning all of your personal life to show you tailored ads, then either is will be fine. I do prefer Proton though, as their products are more complete

Oh, interesting, thanks!

Finally an option that is not just a dumb keyboard, this one has some local llms and local speech to text, so that’s pretty cool. Currently there’s no multilingual mode and I can’t find a way to adjust the height, but once these features are there I’ll happily switch.

LPCAMM2 just got released into as a solution to fast and efficient RAM being soldered on, and now they just said soldered RAM is not sufficient anymore… I’m not happy about this, repairability is important and all those companies pretend to support it while pulling stuff like this at the same time.

It’s in Microsoft’s best interest right now to keep Linux slightly popular, because it helps them fight off antitrust cases

Y’all are crazy to think businesses won’t just switch it off and will instead completely switch operating systems. Linux is too much trouble for large fleets as the tools to manage them aren’t as powerful as they are for windows iirc. Linux is also not ready for full businesses use aside from IT people and some very simple tasks, still too many hiccups when using and lacking software

Great explanation, thanks !

I am not sure I understand everything about NVK, is it supposed to be a replacement to the Nvidia proprietary drivers? Is it supposed to complement nouveau?

I don’t think facebook shares much data to other companies, they have more to gain by keeping it to themselves and having all the data to serve their billions of users personnalized ads. Basically the same as Google, they don’t really sell your data. For these companies I never really liked the phrase that says you are the product, youre not really the product, you are what makes their product. If a company sold your data plainly, then yes in thsi case you are the product

They do value your privacy very expensively!

Idk for most people, but the reason I use proton mail is to avoid google parsing everything I receive to send me ads. I “have nothing to hide” on a legal pov, I’m not a criminal, the worst offence I do is like Jay walking or crossing at a red light on foot when there is no one at midnight. I don’t use proton services to protect myself from the law (or in other words to avoid the consequences of my acts), I just want to be a customer instead of a product.
