Is it to much be asked not to have my face analyzed when I knock on your door? I just want to talk to a person, not be photographed like an animal in a zoo


It pisses me off that so many people put cameras on there door bells

It kind of makes me want to go bonkers and have 12-14 visible CTV cameras pointing at the person to dares to come to my door (joking)


It wouldn’t be that bad if it played muted. Then again I haven’t watched ads in a long time





The money makers for large clouds are companies. They won’t care about this legislation


You are saying that they don’t set a defense. No matter the crime, you deserve defense. No one, not even sexual predictors, deserve to be stripped of constitutional rights. Such things also are related to prejudice.


If the person is innocent until they are proven guilty. Also it is entirely possible they were innocent



While it is true that web browsers do have security issues sometimes, they do sandboxing quite well. They isolate each tab in its own memory space and process so that an exploit would be limited in scope


Don’t do banking on your phone. The reason the bank signs you out is because of security



I mean depending on the context it might be a decent defense




If you are in China you also have to be very worried about the Chinese government. This is just one out of hundreds of other tools they have to detect disloyalty



Of course they will why else would you break unjust laws.

We aren’t talking about something that directly harms another. We care talking about sending a private message and if that is against the law the laws should be openly broken.


It is just to break unjust laws. In the case of encryption you are protecting your self from an increasingly authoritarian government






What needs happen is that they make encryption popular by banning it







Magic Earth isn’t private as it sends back data. Even if it was, there is no way of doing they won’t change something in the future.

I used to use it before Organic maps matured. Now organic maps seems to be the best option. I also use OsmAnd for a while but it is far to unstable and slow plus it takes up a lot of disk space.


That would be a good idea. Maybe the dutch should also adopt vowels


Or even worse, feeds them modern clickbait news.



I doubt it as that would break all of the embedded videos on the internet



It has stability problems for me



Summary: Simplex Chat uses a bit of battery and doesn't have a way to visibly see a contact has changed.

TL;DR there was a backdoor found in the XZ program. All major distros have been updated but it is recommended that you do a fresh install on systems that are exposed to the internet and that had the bad version of the program. Only upstream distros were affected.

Posteo email considered unprofessional?
Have any of you heard up Posteo being flagged unprofessional? I recently heard someone say that I am curious if there is truth to it.

dahliaOS – A flutter desktop that feels a bit like Foss chrome os
I personally see this as a simple version of desktop Linux. If you like what you see donate.

Be mindful of fake websites hosting android apps
I've noticed that there are a few fake websites hosting modified versions of libretube. These modifications are likely malware and are dangerous. Please make sure that you only get your apps from trusted sources. I would recommended a F-droid but I'm sure there are other options.

Jitsi: Is the lack of e2ee encryption a big deal?
When I use a public jitsi instance am I really putting my privacy at risk?

Vern.cc is a group that hosts a bunch of services such as jitsi and piped. I use there stuff a lot because they are a close to me. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Its not just you

I know some people here distrust F-droid for some reason. Here is a blog post explaining how they are working on improving security

Can we have SCAM scanners in Foss apps without opening up legal and ethical sinkholes?
I know that scanning images for Scam is kind if a dystopian and scary. However, that doesn't mean that we need to open ourselves for abusive materials to be sent to us. What I think we need is some publicly available ML models that can be run on each device voluntary to block SCAM from being shown or stored. Publicly available models would help but implementing them could be a slippery sloap. If popular encrypted messaging apps start having this feature built in its possible it will become illegal to turn it off or use versions of the app with scanner removed. This would mean that we would effectively stuck with a bad egg in our code. Maybe the best answer is to not give individuals with questionable history the ability to message you. Does anyone else have a thought?

What’s the best way to access discord
So I have some people who want to get me into a discord chat. Is there a simple way to bridge it to matrix? I have my own matrix server but I don't have a discord account. Is it possible to create a bridge without violating privacy? I don't want to create an account if I don't have to
