I assume they just initialised their graph folder as a git repo and just commit each time they're done working.

Is it impossible to be private online? (yewtu.be)

In sharing this video here I'm preaching to the choir, but I do think it indirectly raised a valuable point which probably doesn't get spoken about enough in privacy communities. That is, in choosing to use even a single product or service that is more privacy-respecting than the equivalent big tech alternative, you are showing...

Tangent5280 ,

Also remember there are many many people like you poking out eyes by themselves, day in and day out.

You're not alone, and you only need to hold the line till we can bring in legislative measures to hold it for you.

Tangent5280 ,

shill harder somewhere else

Tangent5280 ,

correct, but brave is not only shittier, but it is also an active saboteur to the cause.

Are there any tools out there to compare Privacy Policies against each other?

Hiya, just quickly wondering if anyone know about a good tool for comparing Privacy policies against each other? Im currently downloading each PP, then using self-hosted StirlingPDF to compare 1 on 1. However, I am looking for a more efficient tool, to compare multiple at the time, if there are any. Any tool that can handle...

Tangent5280 ,

I feel like that's better, as long as it is a human doing the processing, rather than a program algorithmically output a closest case answer.

Tangent5280 ,

I like how the clone fucks my wife BEFORE replacing me.

Tangent5280 ,

Is lemmy really where you want discussions of such nature to be held, considering the entirely irreversably public nature of the protocol its built on?

Tangent5280 ,

It's like a twisted mustache twirling disney villanesque version of data leak conspiracies. Only way I can think of for this to be funnier is if it turns out the dude also had a prominent position in some secret police state agency.

Tangent5280 ,

Maybe they're so good at erasing online data that when they got to choosing a CEO, they couldn't find any info on this dude being shady online.

Tangent5280 ,

anonaddy, firefox relay, or something similar might be your solution. Many email providers provide temporary mails and permanent aliases as part of their subscription.

Tangent5280 ,

The big sad

Tangent5280 ,

They're also fighting off other legislators who are already in the pockets of these tech giants.

Tangent5280 ,

Is threcord.media down? Showing host issues on cloud fare for me.

Tangent5280 ,

Nice. Would this work for any website? Can I just archive any webpage I can't see on my end?

Tangent5280 ,

Yes, I think that's how it works. The company who hired the ad space pays google, google pays the site that had the ad banner.

Tangent5280 ,

This sets a precedent that other countries might follow. Bad.

Tangent5280 ,

There are a hundred little things that grind my gears with eternity though. Trying to work through them without switching for now.

Tangent5280 ,

Cryptomator is free and about as easy as encryption comes.

Tangent5280 ,

I hear good things about them. The core team seems solid as far as engineering experience goes, and as long as they don't sell out or get acquired they're a pretty viable replacement.

Tangent5280 ,

Cloud storage is something I'm okay paying for. In general, if I want near 100 percent uptime, I'm ok paying for it, because the alternative is making sure it works by myself, and I have much more important shit to do.

Tangent5280 ,

Makes sense. Are there any alternatives which lets you pick and choose which objects to sync on the file level? I didn't really know that was an option except for finangling rsync with cron jobs or something.

Tangent5280 ,

Since this did turn out to be debunked FUD, might be a good idea to edit it in to this comment.

Tangent5280 ,

Here's a link to mental outlaws video talking about this -

Tangent5280 ,

I do not want my data to train AIs regardless of whether that data leaves my device or not.

Tangent5280 ,

The underlying sentiment is that I don't want someone to profit from my data without fair recompense and far more importantly, WITHOUT MY CONSENT. Everything else is fluff.

How to sign up services without phone number?

Hello all, recently wanted to signup for temporary permanent legit emailmid in gmail. It was asking me Phone number in process, i tried to use multiple numbers from regular online resources ( more than 30) but nothing worked. I don't want to give my personal phone number in real life to someone's unless Its I want to....

Tangent5280 ,

Any idea on android version restrictions?

Tangent5280 ,

Fuck this guy and fuck Notion too.

Tangent5280 ,

Lmao no. At best, Notion bought them out to make their own email hosting solution. Worst case, notion bought them out to run the company into the ground to fuck their competition.

Tangent5280 ,

Hey, I don't want to discourage your language learning, but duolingo really sucks as a language learning platform. It honestly doesn't teach you anything about actually using a language.

You might be much better served by using something like babbel, memrise or even better, Rosetta Stone. They are paid options, but well worth the price I think.

Tangent5280 ,

Nah, not this rhetoric. Masks were mandatory because of COVID, and that was the right move. Get out of here with your bad-by-association argument. Making masks mandatory then was the right move. Banning masks during protests is not the right move. Both these facts are not mutually exclusive.

When you make such weak, bad faith arguments, you only give fuel for the other side to break down even your valid arguments.

There are plenty of reasons to call UK clowns, but masks during this centuries worst version of the black death (so far) isn't one of them.

Zuckerberg Brags About How Your Facebook, Instagram Posts Will Power His AI (gizmodo.com)

Instagram and Facebook have addicted users for the last 20 years, making sure to monetize us through advertisers every step of the way. Now, they’re revisiting your old posts, your special moments, and your big life updates, and using it to create billion-dollar AI tools. Zuckerberg’s braggadocious claim about Meta’s very...

Tangent5280 ,

I am sorry to ask this, and I hope you'll see it as the curiosity it is.

Is instagram that necessary? I mean, not in the "Dont you have alternatives?" way, but rather in the "Do you need something LIKE instagram?"/"Do you really need to know so much about your friends?" sort of way. I don't have instagram, and when friends want to hang out or do something or talk, they just call me on my phone. That's pretty much the only way I know about the stuff thats happening.

Anything else I just don't really have the interest to know or find out. I can't see the utility in keeping in such enmeshed, deep contact with people via Instagram. The people I really talk to everyday are on whatsapp and that's usually where we talk.

For some time now I've been wondering if something was wrong with me socially, and your comment put that thought back in my head.

Tangent5280 ,

Sure wish they mentioned it BEFORE signup.

Tangent5280 ,

Smart man

Tangent5280 ,

Yep

Tangent5280 ,

Why do you think so?

Tangent5280 ,

Is not getting updates such a big deal for MacOS?

Tangent5280 ,

128 GB RAM? How much did the whole thing cost?

Tangent5280 ,

Yep. It's been getting slightly more unstable recently too.

Tangent5280 ,

Holy shit. The more I read the less I like that woman. Biologically coded slavery? Sounds like some debunked phrenology bullshit.

Tangent5280 ,

What the fuck, you're right. Owning slaves is detrimental to how even the owners see the world. If we tolerate slavery even if we're on the benefitting side, it alters our worldview to include better and lesser peoples.

Have you noticed a difference in camera quality between the pixel running the OS it ships out in and when running Graphene OS?

Tangent5280 ,

Can you use google camera when you're running graphene? How? I love the image quality on the pixel but dislike google way too much to use a google phone.

Tangent5280 ,

Thanks for the detailed reply. I am planning to test drive GrapheneOS. The things making me doubt the switch is basically my payment applications (I do nearly all my payments via Gpay or similar apps), my camera, and compatibility with my fitness app (Garmin Connect). Other than that I don't really have any worries. I suck at changing my routines so the change-over period might be painful but I'm thinking of carrying around two phones during it to reduce the effects, though I don't know if that is good or bad for quicker transitioning.

Tangent5280 ,

I appreciate the effort you took to type the reply out. Thank you, this will help me a ton.

I have more questions but I don't want to waste your time by sending you questions that came out stream of consciousness style.

If you would be willing to share, I'd like to know what kind of disability you have. DMs are fine, and even more it's 100% alright if you don't want to share at all.

Tangent5280 ,

Remember the old days, when your aunt would send you an invite to a facebook game that would predict which celebrity you're most like based on unrelated and harmless pieces of data, like:
(1) Your favorite color,
(2) Your first pet's name,
(3) The school you went to,
(4) Your mother's maiden name
(5) Last four digits of your social security number
(6) Birthdate

This sounds similarly comical if it was intended for data collection.

EDIT: I've reconsidered. Knowing color preferences is very useful for an advertisement company.
