If they did not collect any information, they would not have any information to give when they are served a subpoena.

In parallel to our existing consumer products, we have the opportunity to build a better infrastructure for the online advertising industry as a whole. Advertising at large cannot be improved unless the tech it’s built upon prioritizes securing user data. This is precisely why we acquired Anonym. 

Catering to the ad industry is backwards thinking, imo. Securing user data is easy enough if you do not collect it to begin with.

Imo, the fact companies have changed the narrative in favor of advertisers and data collection, proves only profit matters, not the people.

Not much to be done with a work machine, but for personal use, I believe the more people moving away from Windows the better.

Microsoft believes if they worsen the enshitification of Windows 10, more people will just upgrade to 11 quicker.

I decided to move to Linux and my other family went with Macbooks.

Automakers should not even have access to any of your information!

I am tired of my information making companies lots of money instead of me.(privacy issues aside) Shame you can't copyright yourself at birth.

Upvote theme change? (sh.itjust.works)

I have recently updated my android app to Version 2.10.0. I have noticed my upvotes are now blue instead of purple like they were previously. I have not changed my theme.

Is there a setting I have perhaps missed? I appreciate any assistance.

The letter opens with an admission by the collective of police chiefs that they’re unable to do their jobs unless tech companies do half the work for them.

I suppose previous generations of law enforcement that were able to do their jobs before all this does not count.

While not much is known about the 60th anniversary finale, this last episode may ruffle the feathers of dedicated “Doctor Who” fans, according to showrunner Russell T Davies.

I pay for Spotify and do not like the pop ups for podcasts and now audiobooks. I really do not like how they ruined the shuffle button and now the ugly check mark instead of the heart. I am not fond of the ui at all and will start looking at other alternatives. Imo, Spotify has gone downhill. I miss the old time Spotify.

My digital information should have the same privacy my home does.

Authorities need probable cause to obtain a warrant to search my home, photo album, notes, or anything else.

Tech companies are not allowed to come into my private home, look through everything, cataloge all of it, then turn around and sell it.

My electronic devices should also have these same priviledges.

I migrated from Reddit. Most of the communities I followed would be hours or days between posts (if they were not private). Everything left was just not pleasant.

I am still fumbling around here but for the most part it is has better discussions and people seem less rude.

I do not regret leaving at this time. I am sure my infinitesimal presence or lack there of does not bother Reddit, but it made me feel better.
