Google Gemini now has extensions that can for example use the content of your Gmail inbox, very practical but also very scary from a security/privacy perspective.

Meta's Workplace shuts down in 2026.

I guess making money somewhat honestly by having customers that actually pay for a service with at least some guarantees of privacy and safety is not as lucrative as having an open platform network where people are tricked into giving out all their data while they are spied upon for whatever reasons.

De Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens zoekt personeel:
https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/werken-bij-de-ap
Weer alleen juristen en directeuren gevraagd, terwijl ze eindeloos veel effectiever zouder zijn met een paar programmeurs. Heel veel werk valt te automatiseren, zoals bijvoorbeeld @noybeu doet, met slechts een fractie van het budget tov de AP.

Dát is namelijk de reden dat je tegenwoordig op de meeste website met één klik alle cookies kunt afwijzen:

GOOGLE: State spiando l'intero sistema operativo? Noi spiamo solo il web.

APPLE: Ma i vostri utenti sanno che li state spiando??

Are you a journalist, activist or whistleblower in need of an anonymous email account that doesn't require a personally identifiable recovery email address or phone number?

Tuta has you covered. 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/anonymous-email

This is anonymity done right. 😎

Ugh! So is selling our data, not shocking after they were acquired... but there are alternatives that are below that public libraries can use!

For the Libby background, read https://buttondown.email/ninelives/archive/the-coming-enshittification-of-public-libraries/

For the targeted ad investigation, read https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/18/mystery_of_the_targeted_mobile_ads/

One of them is Library Simplified https://librarysimplified.org/get-started/

"NYPD will deploy drones to respond to 911 calls"

  • Pilot program is in 5 precincts.
  • Each precinct will get rooftop drone platform
  • Calling it “drones as first responders”

This a good thing? Drones can certainly get eyes to an emergency quickly. Video footage admissible in court?

Privacy implications? Will people be shooting these down?

Riding in passenger seat in the car, looking at my phone, and some nearby car (a ) tried to Bluetooth pair with me.

It nominally had the owners's name in the pairing request. That's a and problem.

I denied the request, of course, but was really tempted to accept, then play "Baby Shark" out their speakers.

I know other blind people love AI but why is corporations/companies like this taking all of your private internal chats and data to be used for their LLMs a good thing? More importantly, can we go back to and now? https://slack.com/intl/en-gb/trust/data-management/privacy-principles

There are many reasons for choosing alternatives to Big Tech. Tracking cookies, targeted ads, and closed source software are just the tip of the iceberg. 🧊

What concerns are keeping you up at night? 🤔

You know who will never mine your private communications to train an LLM?

Better yet, you know whose words you don't need to trust, because you aren't obligated to use any particular server? And the software is open source? And regularly audited by security researchers?

Matrix.

It's not perfect, but no tool is. It's a matter of what trade offs you're willing to accept. Just sayin' ¯_(ツ)_/¯

WhatsApp introduces "ask meta ai" in the local chat search bar, and Slack auto-feeds messages to train their LLM robots https://eigenmagic.net/@NewtonMark/112455578857917485 ... Delta Chat is among the shrinking number of messaging applications that does not look at your data except to end-to-end encrypt it and send it over interoperable message transport servers chosen by yourselves and your contacts. #decentralization #security #privacy ftw!

Gli utenti di Slack, un’app di messaggistica per le aziende, scoprono che i loro dati vengono ampiamente usati per addestrare modelli di machine learning, nonostante questo non sia chiaramente indicato nelle politiche sulla privacy del servizio.

Nella pagina stessa di Slack AI si legge:

“Lavora senza preoccupazioni
I tuoi dati sono tuoi. Non li utilizziamo per addestrare l’IA di Slack. Tutto gira all’interno dell’infrastruttura sicura di Slack, rispettando gli stessi standard di conformità di Slack.”

📱 Handy entrümpeln, Energiesparen und Sicherheit erhöhen!

👉 Daher unnötige (auch) vorinstallierte Apps am besten entfernen, (sofern möglich).

Wer braucht zB schon die 💹 Börsenapp??

Jede App benötigt Speicherplatz. Falls sie im Hintergrund ausgeführt wird, wirkt sie sich auch noch auf die Leistung aus.
Sofern eine App auf Daten oder Systemfunktionen zugreifen darf, ist das zudem ein mögliches Risiko für #Sicherheit und #Privatsphäre.🕵️
