the funny thing is he himself makes clickbaity videos.... like all the time

Don't trust any content "creator" especially if they have a YT channel... YouTubers wants you to click and companies wants you to buy

why don't they just build their own indexer and AI crawler... Brave is newer yet surpassed both of them

For me if an app doesn't get updated within 13 months, I'll look for an alternative, why 13 ? It's my cursed unlucky number...

    we understand that any data collection may spark some questions

    Nah, not "any"... it's Ok to ask for telemetry, it depends on the time you do so... and it's the wrong time now

    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    tbh, you can't ask or expect that from users, people aren't wired to be careful all the time... they need something ( or someone ) to babysit them..

    the best solution is to build a system that defends itself, and it's really hard to break into by an attacker

    It gets worse when you watch his interview with Tucker Carlson .. guy said if a government forces us to censor a group it'll only censored from the app you get from big tech play stores... That's horseshit... If you censor a group from your platform, it'll be removed from all people's feeds regardless of their clients or from where they got the app...

    I've seen it firsthand how some channels are not available on telegram downloaded from app store vs direct apk download

    the right word is "visible".. discoverability on Telegram has always being broken, as in you search for a channel, good luck finding it!.. like you said it's because of your phone number region.. Etc... that has been fixed when they introduced similar channels feature, since then I never used that broken search functionality.. But once you find and join a channel, if Telegram mods decided to censor some posts or remove the entire channel, it'll be removed from all clients... unless there is some client out there who saves snapshots of all channels or posts ( somehow )

    So have been testing over the past few weeks and made accounts on: a) Hubzilla b) Friendica c) Mastodon d) Kbin e) Lemmy f) Iceshrimp g) Bonfire h) Peertube i) Funkwhale j) Pixelfed

    I'm only interested in moving my friends away from Facebook, and have the same fun we used to have as a group, for now nothing seem to match FB functionality unfortunately..

    1. Have your own profile
    2. Public and Private Groups
    3. 1 to 1 chats

    And of course no one would consider joining a platform without a ( feature complete ) mobile app, Firefish is amazing but it has no mobile clients that look as a good as the website, and people say Friendica is the ethical Facebook, but it's ugly..😅 i don't know what to recommend ?

    electro1 ,
    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    Sorry, should have expressed myself better, sometimes you're not exactly speaking what you thinking .. I was referring to the mobile apps, Friendica main app looks horrible last time I checked

    electro1 ,
    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    This one called Friendiqa, it's on top of other apps so I'm assuming it's their flagship app

    however, you want a dedicated mobile app, then check out Relatica.

    Oh this one looks way nicer, judging from the screenshots..

    Friendica also supports the Mastodon API, so you can also log in with pretty much any Mastodon app.

    Idk, on their website they list a few compatible clients, maybe other clients won't work well..

    Yeah, he needs to fix his broken secret chat feature first... I think it's broken on purpose..

    After seeing his interview with Tucker Carlson, I'm 100% the guy has some really dark agenda..

    It stops working after a while ( days or weeks ), your receipents will stop receiving your messages, and you'll not receive theirs, or you'll receive them with a big delay, it happens more frequently with iOS users

    most people have to go out of their way to start a secret chat, the user journey to activate it is too long, it's safe to consider it hidden...

    What makes you think it's dead?

    used to use Instander to browse Instagram privately

    That's far from true, if you installed it on your phone, it'll collect all the data that the official Instagram app collects... Does it give you the option to use an anonymous account ?

    there's another project called Honista, but I quited Instagram years ago... So idk about it's features..

    anyone here has a Rise.up invite?

    electro1 ,
    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    I'm kinda embrassed to say that I used to think "based" meant : "a person who's is a purist in terms of their tech tools choices.. Like they use Debian or Arch, and GNU/Linux Mobile.. Or ReplicantOS... like Only FSF approved software... A person who hates mass surveillance and wants to go off the grid.."

    when I understood what it meant, I was disappointed 🙄

    Just leave your phone at home, and bring a Digital camera, and few SD Cards ... Oh, wait.. < insert company name here > makes Cameras that spy on you... nevermind...

    The Best Secure Email Providers in 2024 (blog.thenewoil.org)

    Like it or not, email is a critical part of our digital lives. It’s how we sign up for accounts, get notifications, and communicate with a wide range of entities online. Critics of email rightfully point out that email suffers from a significant number of flaws that make it less than ideal, but that doesn’t change the...

    I'm probably going to downvoted to hell with this... But didn't people say Proton might be a government Op, even Tuta was mentioned as a honeypot in a recent Court case, so they released a blog post titled: Tuta is not a honeypot....

    Idk... my guts tell me, if something is too good to be true, then it's not true... Proton offerings are amazing for a free plan... And their clients looks good and they sponsor YT channels... I used to be happy to see an Open source project succeed as a business, but the concept of honeypots, made me rethink my view

    because they have the other half.

    could you please elaborate, or matter of fact, ELI5...

    Isn't the whole purpose of having power and control, is to have it all, or make it appear that you're not in control?

    What a ridiculous response.

    what's so ridiculous about it?

    electro1 ,
    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    first of it's a comment not a response.. secondly, you quoted everything in wrong order to make it appealing to further ridicule, which brings me to my last but not least point, is that what you do? you find something ridiculous and get your dopamine kick by saying how ridiculous it is!

    I quoted the bits that answer your question and which completely undermine the bits I didn't quote

    Not what I asked, I don't see ridiculousness in my comment, so if you care to reply with feedback, please do, otherwise stop bothering me

    electro1 ,
    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    You thinking it's a honeypot is a win for the government. All they need to do is spread some propaganda

    Good point, but I didn't think of it that way just because, I saw things and read stuff that made me suspect it...

    to run a service that is hard to keep alive. And if they were to run a honeypot

    But they did, and it worked for them before, and it'll always work unless no one start using that service, so there's no point in keeping servers operational.. time for a rebrand. plus they're getting paid.

    having it outside 14 eyes countries would be the most stupid decision the government could make.

    having it outside the US ( if we're talking about the US ) maybe, but the 14 eyes... It's just s story at this point, even countries outside the 14 eyes spy on their citizens and make secret deals.. So..

    Also ClearClock is broken because it doesn't work on KDE 6

    knowing a phone model is not the same as seeing and ID card with all the Details, that makes a huge difference for the individual's privacy..

    most ISP operators I have seen don't give a damn about your privacy, if you're their friend, just ask.. give them a phone number and they'll give you all the details ( Face, Home Address... Etc ).. In other countries like Iraq, you can buy that information for a very very low price..

    removing the ID card from the equation provides huge privacy benefits for people from these sick fucks.. If you're worried about being found by the authorities.. Avoid SIM cards alltogether

    or what card you paid with etc.

    Use cash..

    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    Yeah, that's what I i did, first tried Nobara, I liked it but encountered some issues, tried to fix them but I realized I spent too much time and there's no clear fix, so I hoped on Fedora and everything works nicely, exept for the Multimedia drivers which I'm still trying to fix...

    electro1 ,
    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    It's the stupid US patent law, and they don't wanna deal with any "legal" issues,, showing you how to install those drivers is how far they can go.. But this is Exactly why these drivers are broken, they're not well integrated and not tested by Fedora devs..

    That's why Distros like Ultramarine promise you a working Fedora experience OOTB, because they're not US based and such laws don't apply to their software..

    X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs (mashable.com)

    On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of "Twitter.com" to "X.com" automatically....

    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    In my opinion, one of the main benefits of selfhosting ( aside from controlling your data,) is that you don't have to pay for the VPS/CMS service, of course you pay for the infrastructure.. As someone who HATES monthly subscriptions it's one of the main reasons I don't have an online presence yet

    I tried to run Ubuntu server and slapped something on top of it ( CasaOS ), which i didn't like, then I tried Ghost ( and failed miserably )..

    It's not easy and YouTubers are full of shit ( they skip so many details )

    electro1 ,
    @electro1@infosec.pub avatar

    That monthly sub is worth it for reclaiming my time

    Yeah definitely, it's a small price for the benefit, but also to add to how I feel about subscriptions, I think their major flaw is they don't consider poor parts of the world like Africa were I live, while 6 $ is reasonable or even cheap for some people, here it's a lot of money ( x200 which means 1$ = 200 ), so it's not accessible..

    Only few, very few websites change their pricing based on my IP address, or send me to a different domain, but for the most part it's not affordable

    You might ask, does you ISPs have VPS plans ? Yes they do,

    Tap for spoiler

    waaaay more expensive than European VPSs combined ... LoL...

    There's also politics and agenda involved but won't get into it, it's just bad news, and we have enough of that already

    The number one unprofessional business move, in my opinion, is to have your business website on Facebook/Meta, Twitter or any other enshitified corporate social media site.

    Makes sense, but what if I had my website linked to Mastodon, and I had an Onion version as well, and ... you can pay me in crypto if you want.. 🙂..

    How professional do you think that would be ? If at all ?
