@evacide Would "providing a cryptology tool" mean I'd get arrested for bringing my laptop to France? It has GPG, ssh, and sshd on it, not to mention openssl. That let's me use rsync to back up some directories. I'll use GPG to encrypt a separate copy of Firefox login data.

@evacide Didn't France once ban encryption over the Internet? I expect that to work as well today as it did in the early 20C when the International Telegraph Union tried it.

@evacide where did you find this document?

@evacide very true.

@evacide Thank you for this. I use it with severel people daily and had no idea!

@evacide Windows Recall, but for cats.

@evacide careful selection of cat appropriate containers for cat activities sounds like a great career

@evacide WE DEMAND PRIVACY! 😻 😸 🐾

@evacide thank you for all you do. I am sorry that reply guys even dare.

@evacide@hachyderm.io For people that work in an industry that prides itself on how they're all experts at scaling shit and "delivering exponential value", it's "funny" how they can never be made to understand how scaling harmful things also exponentially magnifies the harms.

@evacide I assume I missed a post about how Microsoft’s new Recall feature is a potential nightmare for people who are being abused or are otherwise associated with abusive or controlling people, and this is in response to the “well actually” crowd?

@evacide@hachyderm.io thinking about that time I watched emails disappear in real time (and later learned this was how certain email addresses were scraped)

or the time my spotify started playing a different song ("fuck you" by Lily Allen)

yep, no potential for abuse here at all.

@evacide Oh they need to get physical access to the device and input passwords?

Or, and stay with me on this journey, microsoft is not a godlike being that never rolls out code with bugs. And any, ANY exploit here is going to be such a ridiculously awful fail state.

@evacide Oh, wow! This is big!

@evacide the number 2 reason being it's dependency on electron/chrome.

am i the only one beyond tired of lazy and slow electron apps hogging up my system resources?

@evacide I don't know about it being a number one reason... I don't use Signal because it's yet another walled garden. For some reason people still think those turn out well long term for users (they don't.)

@evacide That's sad. I dreamed about visiting again and maybe even moving there, for a long time now. But the place doesn't exactly seem to change for the better. It seems, that I would like to stay away, because I am a woman.

@evacide Oh helpless me! I don't know, how to be a woman. If only I would have a man to tell me to just "use the moon" there would be no patriarchy, no sexism anymore.

@evacide@hachyderm.io
Euki doesn't upload user's health information to the server, it stores health information locally.
It even includes a duress password (though it's predefined and not modifiable, which limits its usefulness).

@evacide oh that’s less impactful than i thought

if the feature that rotates the identifier when the device is unassociated and scanning for networks didn’t work, i’d actually be scared 🦋

@evacide Oh FFS, they were using the HW identifier in mDNS advertisements? That makes me extremely sad.

@evacide

We live in a world where I'm only 70% sure this is satire.

@evacide could be a headline with an "OPINION:" prefix.

@evacide Manifesto Supplemental Case Study - Skynet: A Reevaluation.

EFF FTW !!!

@evacide also some people are forced by work or circumstance to use it, mitigation is perfectly valid ❤️

@evacide There are advocacy groups that create converts, and others that hunt heretics.

The thing that surprises me more is that there was an "election integrity team" in the first place.

@evacide Oh lolz....

I just love this. Elon's the man. Either get in fricken' line with MY COMPANY's vision or GTFO!

Just ask #Bob FOSS he saw it too 😛

If any CEO didn't run their company that way they shouldn't be running their company.

@evacide Anyone still using iMessage?

@evacide Guess I am safe with my iOS 12... 😂

@evacide can we please stop using memory-unsafe languages to gangle arbitrary input from the public.

Also, I have the iOS 17 beta, is that version safe?

@evacide ALSO: I believe this is why GM is breaking up with Apple's Car Play in new models. They'd prefer that you use their built-in stuff, easier to scoop up data. I know a lot of folks are PISSED the new Blazer won't have car play.

@evacide

there was this recent report from @josephcox yet seems crazy that only requires vin to lookup?!
also only for US data?

@evacide

Superb articles from EFF. They need wider circulation. The car industry has been harvesting occupant data for more than two decades. It probably makes more money from it than selling the car.

As EFF points out, the range of data collected or inferred from a plethora of car sensors is invasive. Location, speed, direction, steering and pedal movements, naturally. Add heart rate, temperature, alertness level through facial and body cameras, collected and used without knowing consent.

@evacide @yaelwrites

@evacide I got a “internal server error” page.

@evacide tracks very closely to the nightmare future envisioned in so many cyberpunk stories.

@evacide it was done because the company went bankrupt, not her, but I am still getting very Repo: The Genetic Opera vibes from this.
