Fair but no one said the recording where some good quality porn with proper angles and everything. It’s possible they just caught a glimpse of someone having sex.

I means that to continue using Jerboa you will have to do what is described in my comment (the 9 step process).

Cooking pizza but not eating it? Taking pizza class and not trying it at the end? Sounds like getting very close to pizza but avoiding eating it for some reason. “I can’t eat pizza today, it’s international pizza day”.

Ok, technically you’re right. You can still install apps from f-droid with any Android phone for now. The issue is more that most Android uses will not perform those steps so f-droid will not be able to reach them. People that are already using f-droid and understand what’s going on are fine (for now).

Yes.

Edit: Appoxo is right, technically you can still use f-droid on any phone. Check my comment below.

Most likely the glasses were places on a nightstand or something. They mentioned this in another article. People would place the glasses somewhere thinking they are not recording and undress for example. They would also go into changing rooms while wearing glasses but that’s understandable.

How are you going to celebrate Labor Day if not by doing some labor? It’s like celebrating international pizza day by not eating any pizza.

I think the paradox here is that two-speed EU would solve the problem of countries like Hungary blocking important decisions but at the same time it would allow Germany and France to sidestep opposition from smaller members and give them even more power. I don’t think Germany would agree to any reforms that would diminish their power. It’s a interesting topic I will have to read more about. Right now I don’t really see a solution. I don’t think federation is possible at this point. Most people would still simply vote for their own country’s interest so bigger countries would exploit the smaller ones. Maybe we just have to wait for German economy to collapse and new leader to emerge?

Most of the issues EU is facing now is because of failed German leadership. EU is in desperate need of deep reforms. We can’t let rich countries keep fucking things up for everyone else. I don’t know what the new system would look like but the fact is that the current one is only barely working.

And you think MS dropped $7.5B to get the data stackoverflow publishes every year for free?

Of course owning data from the most popular development platform was useful to them but they didn’t buy to get data to train “expert system” or LLMs. They wanted to have direct contact with huge numbers of developers so they can sell them their products.

*“training data”.

Yes but they specifically said “training data” which implies their use in LLMs. I agree they wanted user data, same as with linkedin, but I doubt they were thinking about “training data” in 2018.

We’re talking about using code to train models which wasn’t a thing until LLMs were able to generate code which was after they bought GitHub. I’m pretty sure in 2018 they weren’t looking at GitHub as source of training data. It was a way to get developers to use their tools. Everyone was using Github and MS wanted to market their products to them. First Azure, now Copilot.

What? Microsoft bought GitHub in 2018. ChatGTP was released 4 years later. The AI boom wasn’t a thing when MS was buying Github and no one was thinking about using it for data back then. Cloud was big thing in 2018 and MS bought GitHub to integrate it with Azure and sell computing to people using github actions.

Last time I visited linkedin it shot my dog. Be careful everyone!

How do I share?

You seem to be shutting out a lot of the info you’re being given. That’s understandable, strong opinions are often difficult to see past. But I’m noticing that we’re not meeting on some central facts, we’re kind of having two different conversations.

I actually think we’re talking about the same thing and you’re trying to make good points. And I think I’m addressing what you’re saying on factual level. I just disagree with you.

Even if it makes you more secure, what about everyone else? How do they fit in?

Majority of people don’t care about their anonymity. They link credit cards to their google, apple and facebook accounts. They post personally identifiable data and pictures all the time. Google requires phone numbers to create account now so using Gmail and being anonymous are mutually exclusive. A lot of people arguing for anonymity only care about one single aspect of it: being able to comment online without consequences.

And I don’t think what I’m doing is 100% effective. Vast majority of people on the internet are not 100% anonymous. For example you have AI powered tools now that are very good at de-anonymizing users based just on their writing style. I’m sure AI can take my comments from lemmy and link them to my old post on Reddit. You know what’s my solution for this? I never called for the assassination of anyone on Reddit. That’s the most effective thing you can do: don’t act like you’re anonymous even when you think you are. At the same time I’m keeping my data as private as possible by avoiding corporate platforms as much as I can, using VPN and blocking ads and trackers. Anonymity != privacy.

They don’t sell this data. It’s too valuable to Google. They charge companies to display ads to people. They don’t tell companies who is who so they can show them the ads themselves. That’s why you can’t access this data. No one can.

Best game I’ve played in a long time.

100% disagree.

Overall, you seem to have a strong sense of faith that your country and the EU as a whole will be this unshakable pillar in the face of all of everything happening all around. Even if you trust your government or the EU, you would also have to trust the numerous platforms, service providers, data brokers, and digital security apparatus to all work honestly and in conjunction toward your (and everyone else’s) best interests.

No, I don’t have to trust the data brokers because of encryption. You’re still mixing anonymity with privacy. Signal doesn’t have my conversations. Even if I’m forced to verify my age on Signal they will not get any more data from me than they already have. They already have my phone number. Age verification doesn’t mean I now have to trust Signal more. Same with all the other platforms. I don’t use gmail, I don’t use stock Android and I don’t log in when browsing youtube. They will not get more data from me because of age verification. YT already required age checks for some videos. I just don’t watch those. The only difference is publishing content online. You can post content on facebook, instagram and twitter anonymously now. You won’t be able to. I’m not anonymous on lemmy already, I’m fine with that. I think about what I post and I think everyone should do the same.

As far as all the various fascists and other bad actors you’re (rightly) concerned about, that is a good point to talk about. One thing to emphasize is that the major platforms hosting them have historically had a legal obligation to moderate their content, which they have been grossly negligent at.

I don’t want the platforms to moderate content. Censorship is bad. We constantly see stories about platform removing or demonetizing content that’s completely legal but uncomfortable for the corporations. I would rather see independent justice system take care of that like they do with press. In a fair system courts can punish someone for publishing illegal content but they can’t stop them from publishing it. I know it’s not really possible right now (it would overload the courts) but we should start with some mix and limit content moderation over time. Anything that’s legal should be permitted. People that publish illegal content should be responsible for it. Removing anonymity will make that possible. Even lemmy had issue with child pornography published here by some assholes. Removing anonymity would make hosting server easier and safer. All we would lose is toxic assholes and calls to assassinate people.
