back in my day we called this spyware

molly0xfff,

"have you ever wanted to install a keylogger to spy on your spouse or kid? well have we got news for you"

"it's all stored locally" is not a panacea for these alarming privacy-invading products!

what exactly is stored locally? what data is extracted from that local data and sent to the company's servers? is that local data being backed somewhere?

molly0xfff,

what additional risks are now being posed to people who share devices, whose devices might be accessed by others or compromised, or who might not realize these tools are running? what is the risk that the company might later change its decision on local storage?

molly0xfff,

@eob the problem is that the marketing claims of "we store the data locally" don't seem to mean "we ONLY store the data locally"

I had such a great chat with @mike on his Dot Social podcast, where we talked about the future of the web and why I'm a web optimist, why everyone should be a blogger, digital ownership, and decentralized social media.

The full episode is available here https://about.flipboard.com/inside-flipboard/molly-white/ and on PeerTube/YouTube/the usual podcast feeds!

I am a human and I am completely stumped by this captcha.
Does that prove that I'm human?
Maybe saying I'm human is exactly the thing a machine would state.
Maybe having that self-reflection proves I'm human.
Maybe AI has seen this kind of rambling enough to generate a post about being human and frustrated by a captcha.

molly0xfff,

@drovani this captcha service needs some work https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/112288150601790991
