sic_semper_tyrannis , to Privacy in Using Discord in a private way?

Did you sign up with a VPN turned on? Are you always using a VPN and private DNS? You could also use a voice changer.

sic_semper_tyrannis , to Privacy in Venmo/ Paypal Alternatives

BTC lightning.

Why are you annoyed by Paypal and Venmo? What do you want changed? KYC and these companies having control of your money is common on all these everyday platforms. If you want a real change you need to use self custodial non-KYC crypto currencies.

sic_semper_tyrannis , to Privacy in New ASUS router firmware now requires a user to be 16y or older and will restrict features and even security upgrades if you opt out

This is sickening.

People should use alternative routers and software such as OpenWRT, DDWRT, and Gl.iNet routers

sic_semper_tyrannis , to Privacy in Looking for some Android apps

For movie streaming if you have subscriptions to the big names you can use Kodi and still login to your streaming service.

It's also unethical that they steal your data and keep upping prices and injecting ads so it's equally ethical to stream pirated content via Kodi

We cannot let this become the new norm

sic_semper_tyrannis OP , to Privacy in Need Help Finding Article on Car Privacy

I didn't know about this opt out code. Pretty nifty. Thanks

sic_semper_tyrannis OP , to Privacy in Need Help Finding Article on Car Privacy

Good point. I would like to understand it better if the data/info is out there

sic_semper_tyrannis OP , to Privacy in Need Help Finding Article on Car Privacy

Nothing wrong with that. I'll give it a look, thanks

sic_semper_tyrannis OP , to Privacy in Need Help Finding Article on Car Privacy

I didn't realize they update their research. I just thought they produced the one a few months ago that swept the internet. I'll check it out again, thanks.

sic_semper_tyrannis , to Technology in Netflix Doc ‘What Jennifer Did’ Uses AI Images to Create False Historical Record

"A primary concern for Petrucelli, Jenkins, and Antell, longtime documentary filmmakers and co-founders of the Archival Producers Alliance (APA), is to avoid a situation in which AI-generated images make their way into documentaries without proper disclosure, creating a false historical record."

They shouldn't be in a documentary period. A documentary is meant to be factual and historical so nothing fake should be injected into it.

sic_semper_tyrannis , to Privacy in Where are places you see ads?

In the USA there is a culture to put stickers everywhere. These stickers tend to be for a company. Whether that be your car, benches, poles, etc.

To me I think, I paid for this product and am not sponsored by them so why would I put a giant sticker for them in my window? It's free advertising for that company

sic_semper_tyrannis , to Privacy in ELI5: GrapheneOS questions

Good job getting here.

  1. You won't have any accounts to sign in to anymore unless you install an app that requires an account. You are free from forced accounts that track you.
  2. Graphene is very barebones at start. You need to use the web browser (Vanadium) to install an app store to download apps or download apk's straight from the source/Github.
  3. You sync data by either manual backups or by using your chosen app for syncing. Syncthing, NextCloud, ProtonDrive, Ente, Immich, etc.
  4. I would say that the fdroid store is better than the PlayStore. Everything is open source, no ads, and a lot less/close to zero junk apps spamming my searches. You also have access to repositories to add even more apps.
  5. I would suggest looking at DivestOS instead of Lineage. It's more secure as you can re-lock the bootloader. I do suggest Graphene over all else for you specifically as it's incredibly simple to install and the Google Sandbox works very well.

I was just able to update an app with Aurora on latest GrapheneOS. I use a VPN too
