No More Phone Number Swaps: Signal Messaging App Now Testing Usernames
Offering usernames will allow people to stop giving out their phone number —a sensitive piece of information— in order to connect with others on the messaging app. #signal#privacy
If for some reason you are still using #GoogleChrome, now is a really good time to look at using other web browsers!
I’m a very happy #Firefox user, and if you haven’t looked at FF for a while, I’d encourage you to give it another look. Newer versions are faster… and they actually respect your #privacy !
Microsoft reveals subscription pricing for using Windows 10 beyond 2025, and it's not cheap. Customers will need to pay $61 per device, which will double every year for three years, to remain secure on Windows 10. If you just do shopping or social media you can use alternative os like Ubuntu, Mint, or pop os for your older computer instead of jumping to windows 11. Also regardless of windows 10 or 11 prices you will still get Ads in Windows 😂 #linux#privacy#security Choose wisely
We all have preconceived notions about #privacy on our desktop operating systems. But how much data does #Windows, #macOS, and even #Linux really collect?
Let’s look at all the things they know about you, what they do with the data, and how you can disable most, or all of that:
📢 The EU Parliament will not be moving forward with chat control! The indiscriminate mass surveillance measures have been removed and secure end-to-end encryption will not be compromised! 🥳
Ok, so I asked you to give me all the questions you had for #Proton. I collected all of that, and asked all I could I fit in an 1h30 hour long interview with Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton.

Ads can and should be delivered without resorting to illegal #surveillance that violates users' rights and exposes them to predatory or discriminatory advertising.
If #Meta can't conduct their business legally, that should be their problem to solve not ours.
Oh look it works again, thought when it wanted to access #X anonymously it didn't work anymore. Apparently it now works again like on #Twitter and you can distribute its anonym here in the #Fediverse over a #Nitter instance. It's more convenient to avoid the data collection frenzy of this #web recording for your #privacy.
This post is about cybersecurity, OSINT, and privacy.
REMINDER
Today’s surveillance cameras perform very well in low light conditions. In theaters, or any other public space, never assume that you can’t be seen because it’s dark. You can be seen. You are being seen. You are being recorded.
In the past I've found #problems in #software, problems with #websites, with bureaucratic processes, some of which were significant, but they all pale in comparison to this one.
