Een week geleden heb ik een bericht gestuurd aan de ASN Bank dat ik er ontzettend van baal dat ze om te kunnen betalen met een Android telefoon alleen nog Google Pay aanbieden en niet meer hun eigen app. Geen antwoord gekregen. Telefonisch zijn ze volkomen onbereikbaar, twee keer geprobeerd. Hele slechte zaak.
De Consumentenbond spreekt hier nu ook zijn zorg over uit.
@Hardlopertje@Ronald Als er een betere zou zijn... Ook de andere "duurzame" bank Triodos is actief contant geld aan het bestrijden, wat de enige breed geaccepteerde #privacy vriendelijke betaalmethode is. Ook is steeds meer funtionaliteit alleen in de app vol met #trackers beschikbaar en zijn geroote telefoons verboden. #DuurzameBank#WarOnCash
A few days ago we found out about Amigo. A sampler made by PotenzaDSP and Stekker that emulates the #Amiga samplers from the 80s. It is
cheap and very good. You can pick it up here: https://potenzadsp.com/amigo/
FYI: We started with these kind of tools in the 80s! #trackers#scene
I believe this is a pretty new feature within Kagi Search. You can click on the yellow/orange shield with the exclamation mark in it and you get the popup that you see here.
This popup tells you just how many ads and trackers that specific site uses as well as what category of ads and trackers it uses.
This is one of the neatest things I've seen Kagi Search add so far.
Android’s Find My Device network settings FINALLY start going live for some users
Nearly a year ago at Google I/O, the new “Find My Device” network for trackers was announced for Android, but then delayed indefinitely for the benefit of iPhone users. Now, finally, the network is starting to roll out – sort of.
I’ve been warming up to switching to GrapheneOS for months. Last month I bought a Pixel 8 (which is the buggiest effing phone I’ve ever owned, good job Google). I’ve just been waiting to have the bandwidth....
I don't use an #AdBlocker. I haven't used an ad blocker in a decade or more. I see plenty of ads on the web. What I do is block third-party #cookies and known cross-site #trackers. The number of sites (even apparently legitimate sites) that implore me to disable my ad blocker is disappointing.
@Tutanota I believe every website that uses #trackers to provide #pii to feed the #adtech beast should provide its visitors with such simple tutorial videos. An important first step in getting people to start understanding the 'cost' they pay for that wonderful, free to use online #software
L'app #3Cat depèn dels serveis de Google. No es pot utilitzar sense ells en un telèfon amb LineageOS o GrapheneOS per exemple.
Correcció: el problema no són tant els serveis de Google (que també), però la quantitat de rastrejadors que conté l'app i si es bloqueja el domini "sdk.privacy-center.org" que gestiona el consentiment a les galetes, l'app no s'obre.
Les apps pel públic fetes amb diners públics haurien de ser públiques: de codi obert.
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 Review: Why You Should Wait Before Buying!
The Galaxy SmartTag 2 is the second generation of Samsung’s line of smart trackers. It features some advantages when compared to rivals such as Tile, Chipolo, and even the Apple AirTag. Not even those, however, are enough to warrant a recommendation on the ne ...continues
EFF’s Privacy Badger Now Blocks Ever More Trackers With Their New Badger Swarm
In 2020, the EFF updated Privacy Badger to no longer learn from your browsing by default, as local learning may make you more identifiable to websites. In order to make this change, they expanded the scope of Badger Sett-powered remote learning. They then upd ...continues
So, I've noticed that the Dark Reader #extension on #Firefox mobile (android) allows me to bypass #paywalls on many news sites. It appears to work on #NYT, #WaPo, and others. I don't understand why it happens, but it was a pleasant discovery!
imo, as a non-tech person, I think it has to do with #trackers in article #images? There are no images if you use Dark Reader, and in my #browser, when I use a #Javascript blocker, it blurs images and bypasses most paywalls 🤷🏻♀️

Proton Pass app just landed in F-Droid (lemmy.ml)
Refreshing the main F-Droid repository shows it as new. Can’t find it on the website yet. Nice for Proton users to have it on F-Droid.
I'm deGoogling. What's my new Podcast app?
