Especial agradecimiento a estos proveedores de correo electrónico al permitirme ser menos dependiente de GMail, al que reduci su uso a la mínima expresión
After a long work, the new version of Midori using GeckoView will be ready before the end of the year before the holidays, arriving just in time to protect thousands of users.
I've long believed that all apps (at least on Android) should start supporting UnifiedPush[1]. Tools like ntfy could serve as a central hub for notification distribution, allowing anyone to have their own notification server to connect apps and mobile devices. This would ensure greater privacy.
This is also why I developed NotiMail: we shouldn't have to rely on the 'big players' for our notifications and data.
Meta’s new #AI image generator was trained on 1.1 billion #Instagram and #Facebook photos
Just remember, even if you don’t have or don’t actively use either, friends or family members could have posted photos including you… which may have been included in this training data.
Then again, it’s not like they ask consent or notify you if your image/likeness is used. :acongablob:
According to #meta, if your instagram or Facebook photos are set to private then they weren’t included in training. No way to really verify (that I am aware of) and this policy could change at any time.
This is one of the reasons I never use Google search engine… it’s a surveillance platform that collects all your information, data and searches. They even Manipulate the truth.
The Weekend Pulse: Cruciality of Privacy and Push for Open Source Software
1/9: 🎬Welcome to our weekend thread! Today, let's discuss a topic of vital importance - Privacy. Through this thread, we'll understand why privacy is crucial and the need to transition from big corporations to open source software. #privacy#opensource
7/9: 🎯Open source tools like signal, matrix, Threema, jabber for messaging and Mastodon, Lemmy etc as a social platform are privacy-focused and do not exploit personal data for monetary benefits. Shifting towards such tools can improve the state of online privacy. #privacymatters
1/ Today, I'd like to talk about two (plus one haha) services that can help you keep your telephone number #private while also enhancing the privacy of your #Signal, #WhatsApp, or other messaging / accounts.
2/ The first service is JMP.chat, a Canadian or USA number that allows you to receive SMS and calls through Matrix and Jabber. It can be used on multiple devices, and multiple people can utilize it simultaneously. Payments can be made via Bitcoin. #Privacymatters
Vorschlag für den anhaltenden #BlackFriday Shopping-Rausch: Zum Beispiel zu Proton wechseln oder mal der Signal Foundation was spenden🤑 #PrivacyMatters#Konsum
In Feb 2023, @themarkup published how Kroger collects its data... and it collects and shares a lot. Reasons for sharing include selling shopper insights and - you guessed it - targeted advertising.
This lawsuit is on grounds that the Meta tracking pixel embedded on Kroger's websites violated the Electronic Communications #Privacy Act, HIPAA, and Ohio state privacy/health information disclosure laws.
🐘 Have you ever stopped to think about the extent of surveillance and data collection that happens every day? It's certainly a concerning issue. Imagine being constantly monitored by cameras, followed by employees, and having every action recorded.

Das Coole an der #Proton Suite (Mail, Calendar und co.)? Sie setzen Schritt für Schritt Features um, die ich vermisse😍Sie reagieren auf #Uservoice, Rückmeldungen in #GooglePlay etc. I like #PrivacyMatters
I think the term "Privacy Policy” is quite misleading for a document that basically lists all the ways you no longer HAVE any privacy if you choose to use the service or software you just paid for.
