Dr_Vindaloo@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Doomsday "Scenario" illustrates the speed of events in a nuclear attackEnglish162·17 天前The premise is unrealistic - if there ever was a nuclear war, the first to strike would be the US or Israel, not muh bug bad Norf Kowea.
“Popular website collects data” is a non-story. What makes this case special? Use an adblocker.
The biggest problem with F-Droid is that they sign the apps themselves, so if they ever get compromised, an attacker would be able to send malicious updates to any app installed via F-Droid. So now you need yo trust 2 parties (app developer and F-Droid) instead of 1. This is fixed by reproducible builds, which F-Droid does support but which most developers don’t bother with (F-Droid needs to start pushing for this more aggressively imo).

Dr_Vindaloo@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is Spotify desktop unsafe to install on Ubuntu?English7·23 天前On Linux, all unsandboxed apps are allowed to do anything your user account can do (without sudo) - there is no permission model. You could use Flatpaks but they’re not perfect, likely would require customizing with Flatseal.
How has no one mentioned dinosaurs yet? You disappoint me, Lemmy.
No such thing as neutral.
Yeah, unless someone does the research I agree - it’s all anecdotal (personally I’ve experienced ridiculous amounts of censorship on lemmy.ca, for example, beyond what I’d ever expect). I have a feeling a lot of the “tankie dickishness” is just people not liking it when .ml users express their opinions or call out lies or unintentional misinfo.
Every time I hear about .ml users being “dickish” it’s always just someone claiming that. Haven’t seen anything like that, at least not more than other servers. Same for the supposed censorship. Feels likr something people just repeat like a meme.
There’s no shortcut you can use to achieve things simply, especially if you want actual anonymity (an extremely high bar). Installing GrapheneOS is the bare minimum (Calyx doesn’t even come close). Then you need to avoid services that ask for personally identifiable info, use VPN for everything (and use public wifi for initial setup), avoid a KYC SIM or SIM in general (also use airplane mode / wifi whenever you can).
But really I’m guessing you don’t actually need proper anonymity (privacy in general is more reasonable).
Did they? Installing APKs doesn’t require an account afaik, just a settings toggle (not even in developer mode, just the regular settings).
Dr_Vindaloo@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Privacy is a team sport - how do we get more people to play?English2·2 个月前That can work, but it could go the other way too. We’ve already seen scaremongering claims like “right to repair will allow creepy car mechanics to stalk your location”, “encryption is used by criminals”, “local image scanning prevents child abuse”, etc.

Goddamn, that was impressive, you can tell there’s a lot of real enthusiasm there. He went so much deeper than I expected, I even learned a couple of things despite using Linux for 5+ years now. Great to see Linux being pushed to non-tech audiences.

“Highly enriched uranium (HEU) is anything enriched above 20% and weapon-grade uranium is commonly considered to have been enriched above 90% U-235. However, some research reactors use 90% enriched U-235 to produce medical isotopes, so there are civilian applications for this fuel too.”
