They know what it is, but they’re too busy on the app betting about how fucked up it can get. You Aussies love those dumb apps. OK, I’m kidding, I actually think they’re too scared to protest because climate protesters are being vilified, harassed and jailed as criminals. Can’t disrupt the narrative - The beers won’t drink themselves! Won’t be long before Australia has something like Belgium’s pre-crime detention. Naughty Aussies will be rounded up and detained before they go and protest an event, and no one will give a fuck while the pubs open or Gogglebox is on. Once everyone is forced to get the Digital ID with facial recognition no one will be game to protest because they will freeze your bank accounts. And you won’t be able to transact financially because cash money is nearly dead in Australia. Last time I was there everyone did everything on their corporate tracking and advertising device (phone). You guys are so screwed and you don’t even know it. Your government does a tremendous job of projecting the illusion of freedom while you actually have none. Fuck me, your last Prime Minister gave himself four extra ministerial positions without consulting anyone, which breaks your federal laws, and no one did anything! You guys need an ICAC before anything can be remedied. Only vote for candidates willing to implement a robust ICAC.

Sounds great, but knowing something about how screwed Australians are for privacy I’m sure there’s a caveat. Probably have to have a digital ID 100% verifiable human citizen before you can use it. Allow yourself to be AI tracked online and off 24/7 to get rid of some ads. If people did a bit of research you will find you can already do these things and more to increase your security and protect your own privacy. The governments don’t like that though. If it’s something like the EU’s GDPR with no caveats then it will be an improvement.

ICAC NOW!

I’ll take that bet . creates newbie sock puppet

Afterthought is an understatement. I didn’t mind piping some of that info into an i3 status bar, but just a couple things. Who needs to watch all that distracting system stuff all the time. Using autocompletions on the command line would get that info quick enough. And whoever down voted my original comment - I’m laughing about it. Serious business right?

Maybe they’re all newbies. The experienced Linux user is taking the picture.

Facebook scraped your private photos “by accident”. Oops.

Possibly, but time and again I see toxic support areas where some noob gets a berating.

This made me laugh. It’s funny cuz it’s true. And one of those crayfish is a newbie.

Too smart for NixOS - LMAO! I bet this guy has a conky on his Blackbox.

Required by Google. Yeah we gathered that much. Deceptive is what it is. It’s not a “yes or no”. It’s a “yes or yes” shifting the burden of the GDPR law on the user.

How about we do anyway…fuck you. We don’t actually need your consent. We need to present the perception that we care about you. This is just a round about way to actually get consent and scrape every fucking piece of data you give.

Cool. They’re on the ball.

Looks good, however there’s a zero day on Firefox. It has been addressed in Firefox 117.0.1.

It’s easy to see media resistance to climate change, and it’s obvious climate protesters are being increasingly vilified, but I had no idea the corporate sponsored movement responsible was so old, far reaching and deep seated.

Ok, so I’m wondering how you explain the billions of dollars profit corporate sites generate from scraping and selling our private data? I’m also genuinely interested in how you might explain how TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or anything Google are more privacy friendly than Lemmy?

I’m not suggesting any Federated service is private. However, we should be aware of and always working towards preventing Lemmy (in context) from becoming anything like those abusive corporate data selling clusterfucks.

No, you don’t need to, but I was interested in what you might say.

Can you elaborate how making Lemmy like current popular sites will prevent tech and “tankie” content?

should you share biometric data online?

FUCK NO! And this is why - These abusive corporate sites already prison-rape our privacy, profile us and sell our secrets to who-the-fuck-ever will pay for it. Meanwhile, they can’t keep their databases secure, so our personal and private details go for sale on the dark web. It’s then used to screw us over further by extortion, theft and identity theft, which is really difficult to rectify. Who the hell thinks giving these incompetent morons more unique identifying data to keep safe for us is a good idea? If you’re in doubt just go for a visit to the data breaches community on any instance that has one. The thing we NEED to be doing is taking control of our own identities by implementing web3 technology and using methods that preserve our data for our own use. We decide who gets what. One example for clarification purposes is something like InternetComputer’s solution.

We’ve all grown accustomed to managing hundreds of usernames and passwords, recovering forgotten accounts over text or email, unwittingly permitting companies to profit from our data at the cost of our personal privacy, all while falling victim to threats of identity theft and fraud.

On the Internet Computer blockchain, users can securely authenticate themselves without ever needing an email, username, or password. Using a passkey, users can login conveniently without their information being monetized by tech companies. Internet Identity is designed to prevent Web3 services to track user activity across dapps.

And yes, you could still use fingerprint or faceID, but you’re not handing it over to anyone else.
