How to Stop iPhone Apps Snooping via Push Notifications
Apple is well known for being a privacy centric company and building tons of security and privacy features into the iPhone and iPad to control things like location tracking and app tracking, but some big name app developers are coming up with creative ways to pry details about your device. One such crafty method of … Read More ⌘ Read more
O último boletim da FSF tem uma bela apresentação do JShelter, uma extensão de browser dedicada à privacidade em que nós na Manufactura Independente (a @aiscarvalho e eu) também estamos envolvidos.
E inclui uma selfie que tirei quando me cruzei com o Giorgio Maone, autor do NoScript, que também faz parte do JShelter mas que eu não tinha tido ainda o prazer de conhecer em pessoa :-)

@eapl.me@eapl.me I invest in crypto, I use it to pay for various services too, I focus mainly on monero due to it’s privacy features - which I like. For me it’s a way of saving and investing. I do not have much in there - but more saved there then in the bank. Cryptocurrencies are definitely useful, in many ways.
Crypto is here to stay. What I dislike is the whole web3 ‘pay to play’ kinda thing..

On the topic of Programming Languages and Telemetry. I'm kind of curious... Do any of these programming language and their toolchains collect telemetry on their usage and effectively "spy" on your development?
⤋ Read More
@prologic@twtxt.net I get the worry of privacy. But I think there is some value in the data being collected. Do I think that Russ is up there scheming new ways to discover what packages you use in internal projects for targeting ads?? Probably not.
Go has always been driven by usage data. Look at modules. There was need for having repeatable builds so various package tool chains were made and evolved into what we have today. Generics took time and seeing pain points where they would provide value. They weren’t done just so it could be checked off on a box of features. Some languages seem to do that to the extreme.
Whenever changes are made to the language there are extensive searches across public modules for where the change might cause issues or could be improved with the change. The fs embed and strings.Cut come to mind.
I think its good that the language maintainers are using what metrics they have to guide where to focus time and energy. Some of the other languages could use it. So time and effort isn’t wasted in maintaining something that has little impact.
The economics of the “spying” are to improve the product and ecosystem. Is it “spying” when a municipality uses water usage metrics in neighborhoods to forecast need of new water projects? Or is it to discover your shower habits for nefarious reasons?

JMP: Privacy and Threat Modelling
One often hears people ask if a product or service is “good for privacy” or if some practice they intend to incorporate is “good enough” for their privacy needs.

The Circle
Some years ago, I started reading the novel “The Circle” by Dave Eggers. I never finished reading it, but today I watched the movie. It has an important message about privacy, transparency and surveillance and shows that there’s a thin line in-between those. I can definitely recommend watching it, although I sometimes wasn’t impressed by the acting. ⌘ Read more

@tamer@twtxt.net We’re not trying to compete with anything… If you’ve read About Yarn.social – In a nutshell I want to create an open, transparent social platform that respect’s folks privacy and freedoms. It must also be easy to use and down-to-earth where human interactions actually matter. None of this rubbish of manipulating what you see, driving up engagement numbers to serve your advertisers and all that garbage
You’re right @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com I just watched Australia Post Outrage: Did She Need To Go? and I do believe I’ll start adding this to my “watchlist” – I don’t use Youtube specifically (because privacy eroding garbage); but the content this guy produces is awesome! 👌
Scotty from marketing really needs to be fired! Can we even fire Prime Ministers besides calling an election? 🤔 The more you dig into our #Australian #Government the more you realize just how fucking corrupt they all are and have been over so many years. How?! 🤦
Btw… You guys have gotta start posting more pictures/videos a bit more regularly 😂 Every time I show Yarn.social off to a friend to “sell” them the platform and get them off their privacy eroding garbage Facebook/Twitter/etc) The no. #1 question I get asked is:
Oh is this only comments/text
🤣 Let’s show off the platform as a whole a bit eh? 😅
@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com Is there still an issue (sortt was out for most of the day) with the We 💚 Privacy Club pod? 🤔 I hope no weird bug has been introduced 😢 AFIK none of the auth/session handling code has been touched in quite some time.
