#ASNBank stopt feitelijk met aanbieden contactloos betalen. Als je dat wilt, doe je dat maar via Google Pay. "Jij maakt zelf afspraken met Google, ASN is niet verantwoordelijk".
Hebben ze een DPIA uitgevoerd? Want zo krijgt niet alleen ASN inzicht in je betalingsverkeer, maar Google ook. Wat is de toegevoegde waarde nog van die bank dan trouwens?
Gebruik je ASN en Google Pay? Had je de voorwaarden gelezen? #Privacy#Soevereiniteit#GooglePay https://www.asnbank.nl/downloads/voorwaarden-google-pay.html
Very important for Swedes to vote in the EU Election. Privacy is a fundamental human right, even when there are bad people doing bad things. Mass surveillance by the government does more harm than good.
Noted anti-capitalist agitator Adam Smith had it right: "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices."

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
One of these companies is Plexure, partly owned by McDonald's, which provides the surveillance-pricing back-ends for McD's, Ikea, 7-Eleven, White Castle and others - basically, any time a company gives you a hard-sell to order via its apps rather than its storefronts or its website, you should assume you're getting twiddled, hard.
For example, Plexure boasts that it can predict what day a given customer is getting paid on and use that information to raise prices on all the goods the customer shops for on that day, on the assumption that you're willing to pay more when you've got a healthy bank balance.
Je suis à DevFest Lille ou j’assiste à une conf’ de Benoit Masson sur les téléphones /e/OS/ . Il faut une démo sur un Samsung Galaxy S4 (10 ans tout de même) avec une version récente d’Android mais degooglisée, connecté à un NextCloud. #murena#eOS . Merci à Gaël Duval (ex-Mandrake/Mandriva !) pour ça ! #privacy
Tomorrow I'll be participating in a webinar on #privacy and the #fediverse organized by Privacy Laws and Business. I think it's an important issue -- I hope we spend more time talking about this topic.
Since Microsoft seems to not care about the #Privacy impact that the #Copilot+ #Recall feature has, I am going back to #Linux as my daily driver. All my #Homelab servers run on Debian or its derivatives, work servers run RedHat or Windows, but I have not used a Desktop Linux for quite a while as a daily driver. I've been playing with Debian 12 with Gnome for the past few days, and next I'll be playing with Fedora, which I have not used since the early 2000's. We'll see how fast I can catch up.
BTW, since I work mostly in #VR using #Immersed, that is one of the first things I tested, and I got to say, their work to support multiple virtual monitors with #Wayland+#Gnome has really paid off, it works flawlessly in Debian! I need to test it in Fedora in the next few days. Can't wait for my #Visor to arrive. #WorkInVR#Immersenary
I'm still switching to #Debian as my primary OS and keep #Windows as a VM for some work applications, but it's good to see that MS is trying to make this controversial feature a bit more secure.
Autonomi have launched their beta network and rewards program.
Anyone can run nodes and if you want to join the fun, sign up for the second wave of noderunner rewards. Even non-technical folks can do this with any old computer.
A few words about the new Microsoft Recall #privacy busting feature. People on Mastodon probably know about it already, but still — WTF? Just store everything in a local database that seems to be insecure even before release? #windows#microsoft#ai
L’innovazione tecnologica richiede sempre più dati. Un’esigenza che va contemperata con quella della tutela dei diritti personali, in un’opera di bilanciamento che chiama in causa tutti: autorità di regolazione, grandi società e cittadini comuni
@informapirata
Che l'innovazione richieda sempre più dati è indimostrato; la fame di dati ottenuti senza pagare è invece il modello di business di big tech. Una vera innovazione sarebbe invece avere molti più dati sul modello di business e sulle pratiche poco etiche di big tech per poterle controllare. @Vitalba@privacypride
Non solo: l'innovazione tecnologica deve restare un mezzo, non diventare un fine.
La composizione fra innovazione tecnologica e diritti umani (come è il diritto alla protezione dei dati personali) è dunque banale: l'innovazione si può espandere liberamente fino a quando non lede tali diritti.
Se poi, come pare fare @Vitalba in questo pezzo, si chiama "innovazione tecnologica" il profitto privato di alcune imprese, è utile ricordare che tale profitto non è un diritto sancito dalla nostra Costituzione che anzi è chiarissima in proposito:
L'iniziativa economica privata è libera.
Non può svolgersi in contrasto con l'utilità sociale o in modo da recare danno alla salute, all’ambiente, alla sicurezza, alla libertà, alla dignità umana.
Dunque, in Italia, la questione è semplice e cristallina.
La questione piuttosto è se questa penisola sia ancora Italia¹ o sia divenuta una colonia statunitense.
Vor einer Weile hab ich im Rahmen des EU-Projekts #DigitaleVorbilder ein Webinar zum Thema "Smarte Spielezeuge: Datendiebe im Kinderzimmer?" gemacht. Inzwischen ist das Graphic Recording dazu veröffentlicht - und ich liebs 🥰
Autonomi are launching their beta rewards program tonight (8am GMT) and have opened signups for the second wave of noderunners. Anyone will be able to run nodes, even non-technical folks.
The thing that upsets me about #Recall is that my data will be exposed by someone else, some business, using Windows. I'm not going to be using it, that's not my concern. It's that places that will use it will also have information about me that could potentially destroy my finances and identity. And is the gov't going to use it? It f'ing well better not. #privacy
Wir werden Themen vom letzten Mal konkretisieren und mal ein #Datenschutzcafe / #Cryptoparty planen und natürlich alles, was ihr noch einbringen möchtet!
I'm now paying 99 cents/month for iCloud+ so I can use Private Relay which (among other things) hides my IP address and only shares my country and timezone with websites I visit.
That seems to be the only way to stop The Guardian from sniffing my IP address; with Private Relay on it shows the weather for a city that's not mine. (I'm not even near Los Angeles.)
There's no real problem with The Guardian getting my IP address; it's just a super annoying invasion of privacy.
@jeridansky While the Guardian makes it obvious that they have access to your IP address through their weather widget, they're not actually doing anything special to get it. Any website you visit has to know "your" IP address to establish a connection. So I wouldn't call it an invasion of privacy per se. However, this doesn't take away from what you're doing. Always a good move to hide one's IP address in my opinion.
So with my new found knowledge of #kagi upsetting me and causing me to leave it... The fact the only other engines that are not just proxying google or bing... Is #brave or #mojeek and while brave one is nice... I just cannot bring myself to use something that funds a biggot... Then mojeek just feels dated and not great...
I am tempted at bringing fuzzysearx back... and even look at trying to leverage the built in ability to add custom engines to look at leveraging other abilities... because searxng really seems like the only ethical way I can see to leverage search engines collecting data...
@hack13 well that's good to hear, we have done some UI stuff not that long ago, can check back in in the future. Anything in particular you would find better about the feel of us?
The European privacy community
has repeatedly pointed at the GDPR‘s sometimes slow and insufficient enforcement. And I won’t argue with that. But I‘d like you to consider that the lack of GDPR literacy and privacy awareness is at least equally problematic. Even the best enforcement mechanisms are useless when people do not know their rights. We need to do more, not only to improve enforcement, but also to better educate people on privacy matters!
