The site linked of the letter appears down or blocked. https://punchbowl.news/wp-content/uploads/Open-Letter-Cyber-... This seems suspicious.

Of course I cannot prove that she still works with intelligence. The funding and direction of such assets is understably obscured. My statement is merely logical conclusion that you can choose to agree with or not.

It was somewhere in the interview where she mentioned about how careful she was at copying FB files because of her previous experience working in intelligence. I am sorry I don't feel like listening to the whole thing again to give you

Frances Haugen, the supposed Facebook whistleblower, slipped up in her 60 minutes interview and revealed that she works for US intelligence. The effort she was employed to advance is acceptance of more censorship of Meta and the like. Consp

It can be very difficult for some people to unwire themselves from IOS. It depends on how important this is to someone. I switched to graphene and FOSS apps a couple years ago. The new level of security and privacy are invaluable to me.

I didn't know this was the name of the phenomenon. I suspect others looking this up will come across the great movie called The Bader-Meinhoff Complex.

This takes creativity. Gymnast rings cost ~$10 which you can hang from a tree branch. Someone gave me a barbell, but I had no weights. So I screwed rings into some heavy logs and am now deadlifting ~400lbs. I get to do all this in my bikini

I use virtual cards from privacy.com for just about everything I buy online. It allows you to set limits, cancel with a click, and be anonymous by giving the vendor any name and address you want. It is a good service, but I wonder if any co

I agree that laws and procedures should be tighter, but I don't expect any change. I don't even know the number attached to my SIM card. I bought it anonymously for $16 a month. I rarely turn off airplane mode. I pay $1 a month pe

Big data is valuable, but little data is usually worthless. My instance is running on a Raspberry PI on my desk running Yunohost. If I figured out how to log IP addresses and the queries, I nor anyone else would have any use for the informa

Agree, but please don't everybody on HN switch to this particular Searx instance. Spread the load and use other instances. I spun up my instance but hesitate to publish it here.

I do remind myself that most people are followers. The leaders among us need to help lead others. I would like people to stop berating 'Social Media' because that is a general category and instead berate the specific corporate, AI

Yes. I am working on spinning up a local server for CSA(Community Supported Agriculture) in our area to connect farmers to consumer communities. The goal is to create connection, community, and bypass the current bottlenecks driving up food

What could go wrong with the richest many in the world now owning an influencing stake in one of the main communication platforms in the world? He made his first billions on financial surveillance and then moved onto selling Iphones on whee

Jack has been tweeting much about self-hosting and decentralized solutions. Silicon valley has been struggling to figure how to capitalize on the trend post surveillance capitalism. W3 combined with crypocurrency seems to be their most hope

The browser is probably the main attack vector these days. Companies are spending massively to secure their endpoints, but the mouse fingers are difficult to control. I see the value proposition but struggle to see it at this figure when so

I think most on this thread have said enough for us to realize the problems with centralized moderation. Federated social media does resolve most of this with community moderation. Thousands of communities are already running their own fede

When I rarely switch my GrapheneOS phone off airplane mode, I feel like Bilbo putting on the ring. The eye of Sauron is upon me.

Would it be a good concession to not to record police if they agree not to record us? This means no more ALPR's (Automatic License Plate Readers), shotspotters, surveillance cameras, bulk internet surveillance, and access to commercial

You were referring to Kim Stanley Robinson's latest book, The Ministry for the Future. I have read both and recommend both highly.

Yes physical stores are becoming as hostile as ecommerce sites. When i enter one, my phone stays in airplane mode, wear a mask to evade facial recognition and pay cash.

I am well aware that any commercial site tracks everything they can. I was merely trying to answer this guy's question about what data Amazon has on sellers. Personally I don't like having to show my ID when I walk into a store an

If you still have an Amazon account, ask for your data download from Amazon.com. You will probably be astounded to see that they retain just about every interaction you have ever had on their platform and products. I was a light user and re

Link is broken for me but probably caused my hardened browser settings. We can expect more countries to test territory with Russia while it is embroiled, distracted, and weakened by current endeavor.

I suggest you practice browser isolation and use chrome only for Google logged in services without ublock. Use other private browsers for other stuff with ublock (Librewolf or brave).

The telcos can be mitigated by using burner SIM's that you rarely turn on. Use VOIP numbers with SIP phone clients. Only turn off airplane mode when needed. I know somebody who refuses to use any encryption anywhere because he is worri

Check out GrapheneOS.org. You can optionally install a sandboxed Google Play services. I want CalyxOS to survive, but they are falling behind security updates.

As Twitter now requires ID and it closes down alternative front ends such as nitter.net, these posts will naturally lose relevance and not be upvoted by those who cannot view them. We have similar situation with Facebook.
