LWD , to Privacy in DuckDuckAssitant is back!

Important question: exactly what does it forward to them? After reviewing their privacy policy, it looks like they may be forwarding something in addition to the query itself.

When it comes to adding a layer of privacy between your queries and the OpenAI results, I believe them, but I really want to know exactly how much privacy there is and isn't.

LWD , to Privacy in I did not know the origin of the quote

You could erase the first two sentences of this comment and lose literally nothing. Which is pretty impressive, considering how important "dialectical materialism" sounds.

Maybe, but it feels really good when I look at my big number next to your little one

Just reported it to the Lemmy network administrators

LWD , to Privacy in e621, a furry image forum, will be forced to verify their users identities if this bill passes

If a 4 year old is exposed to furry porn, I don't think the culprit is the website.

Mostly the party of small government.

They just want to keep children safe... from the LGBTs.

LWD , to Privacy in browser for webapps?

Daniel Micay of Graphene has... A reputation.
At the end of his tenure at Graphene, Micay started increasingly accusing people in many other communities of conspiring against him and harassing him. It elevated to the point of accusing Louis Rossman of being part of the conspiracy. It got swept under the rug for years, but Rossman was the one person to get so pissed off that he eventually outed Micay... And his departure from the organization was swift.

I actually reached out to Micay (IIRC before Rossman outed him) looking for answers. After showing me some incredibly scant "evidence" that amounted to accusations he had written in the past, he started accusing me of being part of the conspiracy too.

I don't like to claim people have mental illness recklessly, but I can't think of many other reasons he behaved that way. The only other obvious one is that he was a massive asshole for no reason at all.

But he's also very technically competent (or at least, prior to stepping down, was very competent), and there's probably a reason Graphene finds so many Android bugs and gets their patches implemented so regularly. But the whole thing definitely taints the project and some of the pages he most likely wrote.

I too am curious about the real world implications of this lack of process isolation.

LWD , (edited ) to Privacy in Your VPN provider won't go to jail for you for 5 dollars

Considering this is straight from a VPN provider, take this with a boulder-sized grain of salt.

And I say that as someone who believes using a VPN is generally more beneficial than not. And espouses most of that advice regarding the VPN.

Even if a VPN were totally benevolent and gave daily tours of its office, there's still no 100% guarantee their claims can be verified at all times. So there's always an element of trust. (I trust most of the ones outside of the Eyes countries more than my home ISP, though. )

LWD , to Privacy in Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade

Telling Discord users to switch to Matrix because "it works like a charm" is incorrect, considering how Discord is used.

"It's tolerable if you can put up with the low bit rate and high latency" is more accurate.

LWD , to Privacy in Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade

There's a huge difference between streaming games and streaming PowerPoint slideshows

Right after you promise to convince all their moneyed interests to accept those changes into the repositories they manage

LWD , to Privacy Guides in Video chat options?

If you're looking for something professional, Jitsi is open-source and only requires one person to have an account to use it... You might have a better experience if you self-host or find someone who does.

LWD , to Privacy in What privacy friendly app/service/stuff makes your life simpler?

Personally, I'm okay with shouldering the security risk considering the internet-wide toxicity of Chrome and forks.

Lynx would be more secure than either.

LWD , to Privacy in Google agrees to destroy browsing data collected in Incognito mode

Let me get this straight, the data is worth $5 billion to Google, but they aren't even necessarily deleting any of it?
