  • It’s one of those things I’d love to see done as an experiment

    I believe you've got a fantastic idea here, not only to see how this one idea pans out, but to learn how we might build a better society. There's little reason we couldn't simultaneously have multiple test centres, each using a different system. Scientific method 101.

    China famously began its modern transformation in the 80s by creating Special Economic Zones. These were cities where many of the economic rules for the rest of the country wouldn't apply, and where new theories could be tested. There's no need to agree with the goals China was pursuing, and for-better-or-for-worse have subsequently achieved, to acknowledge the method is brutally effective.

  • This post is fantastic for 2 reasons:

    1. It's so important to raise awareness of how these 'conveniences' like the Ring Doorbell are being turned into the chains that will bind society

    2. This post includes an in-image cite with both text url and a QR! This should be standard on any image post like this.

    Well played.

    A solid grasp of the underlying principle is really useful in understanding most government action.

  • Would you happen to have a cite supporting the burden of proof is on the defendant to prove their statements weren't defamatory? I'm not familiar with that.

  • License Plate Reader Company Flock Is Building a Massive People Lookup Tool, Leak Shows

  • Here's a map showing the locations of this corporation's existing readers: DeFlock.me

    It's operated by a group of privacy advocates and educators to spread awareness. Flock tried to use a bogus trademark claim to interfere with the project.

  • Balance:

    a) damage done by another Trump presidency

    vs

    b) damage done by demonstrating to the ruling class that you'll give them whatever they want so long as you genuinely fear one of the candidates

    Tough call. I wish each and every one of you who has a say in this clairvoyance beyond mine.

  • Reddit embracing all out enshittification

  • There's something sad about society losing a such a unique source of knowledge, but hopefully we've collectively learned something about the dangers of trusting proprietary solutions.

    Anyone found a reliable way to search across Lemmy instances they can share?

  • After the changes to their TOS I lost any trust I had in Proton

  • Deleted

    Is there anything unsavory about ProtonMail?

    Jump

  • Proton AG lost me as a customer the minute they backdoored a binding arbitration clause into their TOS last year.

    The difficulty of proving damages in breach of privacy cases combined with generally weak privacy legislation globally means the threat of a class action often serves as one of the only practical deterrents to abuses of power by corporations controlling sensitive personal information. By changing its terms of service, Proton essentially immunized itself from suffering any significant penalty in the event its negligence leads to a mass breach of privacy of its users.

    Tactics like the use of binding arbitration clauses are hallmarks of inherently untrustworthy corporations.

  • Pretty sure this is just privacy washing. The real issue here is censorship.

  • Anyone care to share their thoughts on proper netiquette when posting to a Peertube instance?

    Specifically I'd be interested to learn if it's only considered appropriate for those contributing to the network (either by hosting a server or contributing financially) to post or if the uploading of original work is itself is considered a contribution.

  • Service is fine, but GNU/Linux support needs improvement.

    They just changed their TOS to forbid paying customers from seeking any form of judicial remedy, so you can guess the direction they're headed.

    Needless to say I won't be renewing.

  • What is this hardened Firefox I hear about?

    Jump

  • As many others have pointed out Arkenfox is a great way to harden Firefox that saves much of the effort of manually editing about:config

    Because I didn't see one already here's a link to an install tutorial for Arkenfox in case it helps anyone to get started.
