I’m incredibly discouraged at the privacy community’s inability to come together for a losing fight. […] The sheer lack of empathy in the privacy community is astounding, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Developers attacking other projects to protect their fragile ego, people new to privacy being shamed for not knowing everything out the gate, users pushed to feel regret because of their conscious (and commonly educated) decision to stay within the Apple ecosystem and work within its limitations. The list goes on.

This is something that I’ve been echoing for quite a while now. Lots of people completely divided. We need marginal increases in privacy for the masses as opposed to extreme life changes for the few.

you can’t verify android software with a hash. so infected versions can be selectively pushed to particular people.

This would be NSO group’s dream I reckon.

Most larger universities I’ve been to do this as well. You don’t really need to worry.

Lmao, not gonna lie, this one got me.

Readium-css has an iOS testing app that you can download (link to it on their webpage). That’s really about all I could find to be honest.

Will there be a big announcement? I don’t want to miss it.

Ayo another Lisa Simpson avatar lmao.

Your contradiction was in fact, not a contradiction, but a thinly veiled attempt to feel correct. I think myself and many others agree that this was you overstepping. I reported the post once for violating three rules, and you call that report abuse? You could have just said that it didn’t break rules and atop there but I didn’t “abuse” anything. Its also not against the rules to downvote something I deem to be poor quality content.

Edit: blocked, given your history and other user experiences with you.

@CHEFKOCH@lemmy.ml super bad look dude

I’m glad to hear that its being discussed, but I’m not sure what the best course of action would be in this scenario. It seems that each has their drawbacks, including doing nothing.

Yeah I agree that it’s starting to get a little pitchforky, but mostly, people are just sharing similar experiences with the mod - which is good, because a shared dialogue about a series of bad behavior helps to inform the community. As for using the voting buttons, that’s all well and good, yeah. Always vote.

Yeah, seem to have learned that the hard way. I just wanted to make a post to bring awareness.

That’s why you should read the post and comments and not base your opinions on a simplified screenshot. No need to be toxic. I also don’t really care about what you think of me.

Unreal.

I’m definitely surprised. I’ve received messages now about how they hand out bans like candy to anyone who disagrees with them.

Did you read the article?

Capitalism would never…

Nope, but it’s nice that they’re at least thinking about it.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to be as anonymous in your online traffic as you can. Block ads and trackers whenever you can. Refuse to contribute.

All of these communities have mods that can do the exact same thing. I’m not sure why you think it’s any different here. Kinda hypocritical since you literally just called for people to use the report button, which is * taps sign * constant moderation.

Imagine being mad at people for talking about an issue lmao.

Why does this upset you? Use your words, change my mind.

Another common tactic subreddits use is to shadow ban users with negative karma. That could be an option as well.

Its kinda funny that 4chan is still a thing. Its probably just the same 5 people commenting and posting at this point.

I’m not saying you’re wrong because I’m not a security professional, but a nation state actor or other adversary is likely to watch an entry node, in which case, there is little you can do because they can (and historically have) attach payloads to your traffic. Here is a really good article on the matter, but it’s over 5-years old at this point: https://www.vice.com/en/article/4x3qnj/how-the-nsa-or-anyone-else-can-crack-tors-anonymity

…and blindfully trust that they’re not logging anything about you.

Isn’t that exactly what you are doing when using TOR? Those nodes can be compromised just as anything else can.

Found this gem on the site

Super cool. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah there are so many of these they are starting to get a little redundant. I understand why privacyguides was created over privacytools. Let the best website win!

Awesome! Thanks for this.

I could be wrong, but on the main page, there’s an RSS button to the right of where you sort by active/new/etc. Try that out.

…but at least compared to Europe even more privatized…

Chile underwent a neoliberal transition that wrecked the economy for a while. There is a really good documentary on the whole thing called the Chicago Boys (didn’t mean to bury the lead lol, chicago boys references the economists from the University of Chicago that basically showed Chile the neoliberal way).

• Here is a primer on it: https://youtu.be/y_ecE5SAoK4
• Here is the trailer for a full film which I can’t seem to find: https://youtu.be/oS9lZB6HArk
• Edit: Another really good mini doc by al jazeera’s start here on the matter: https://youtu.be/Y-JKy_9PfBg

I just love it when the US government hires out private companies with proprietary software to perform sensitive public services like these! /s

Don’t even get me started. The US Gov’t contracts out everything. I work a lot with public electricity data for my job, and every time I find an error in their data, I send them an email. It always gets routed to some weird data management company that handles all the data, and the gov’t isn’t involved at any step.

Holy shit I have not tried the --monitor flag! I think you just solved my problem.

Thanks for sharing your story! A bit of an update, I’ve actually sold my macbook on ebay last night, and purchased an older Gen 1 thinkpad extreme. I’m gonna slap an ubuntu lts or kde neon (not sure yet, I really like both equally and kde neon is just ubuntu with a kde). I have also switched all of my work tasks to foss this week. I’ve been doing all my writing in libreoffice writer, etc. My plan to to make my windows desktop and my linux laptop interchangeable. My only hurdle is that I do most of my work straight off of OneDrive. Need something similar for linux, and I used to use a open source written cli for onedrive that worked really well - as long as you didn’t forget to sync through the cli before you left your house haha. Any tips? It’s a minor inconvenience really. Alternative would honestly just be to use a portable ssd. That way I actually own my data.

Exactly, luckily, all the communities that tend to be about low-effort content don’t really take off here. I’ve noticed Lemmy is much more about discussion than little dopamine hits

That last bit about the android is exactly what I’ve done. I’ve followed @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml’s guide on hardening an Android and I found it super useful. As for a YouTube alternative, I also agree. The content is just too good on YouTube, but luckily more of the niche creators I follow are on Peertube.

I got a lot of good interaction over on c/privatelife, and felt that this conversation could benefit from being expanded on here in c/privacy.

Yeah that would have been a more appropriate title to this post. Luckily we can edit titles on Lemmy @CheckoutmySetup@lemmy.ml
