🆕 Copy Sanitized Link Links often carry tracking parameters that tell a site who shared them and where they came from. Copy Sanitized Link strips those out before the link reaches your clipboard, so the person you send it to gets the page and nothing else. It’s an easy habit that keeps a bit more of your browsing to yourself. Available now in Vivaldi 8.3 on mobile and desktop. ✅ #Browser #Vivaldi #Software #Apps #Privacy

Mozilla's study of nearly 25 million Firefox users found that its fingerprinting protections cut the share of uniquely identifiable users from 75% to 46%. That figure is measured against simulated commercial fingerprinters. Mozilla says some protections are on by default only in Private Browsing, and Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection applies them to all windows. https://fingerprinting.study/ #Firefox #Privacy

Large-Scale Measurement and Real-World Mitigation of Web Browser Fingerprinting in the Wild

Why VPNs Are Worth Defending Developers of virtual private network (VPN) apps are reporting that their products are again being pulled from Apple’s App Store in Russia. This is an unacceptable crackdown on a vital tool to protect privacy and speech online. Why? VPNs give people a way to control their own online activities. When you visit a website through…

Good morning Fedi friends! I was recently creeped out by an article about how #Apple has been secretly building a super detailed « personal knowledge graph » on every user since 2022 ( https://8rank.ai/game/apple-intelligence-personal-knowledge-graph ) Excerpt: "MacOS builds a knowledge graph about the person who uses it: who you know, how it decided those people are related to you, who you write to and how often, whose faces recur in your photos, where you might be next." Claims that this information stays on device do not make me feel any better… this is incredibly intrusive (I did find that folder on my Mac, even if I have Apple Intelligence turned off - yikes). My big project this month will be turning my beloved MacBook Air 2013 into a #Linux laptop. LMK if you think this is something I should write about for #MySoCalledSudoLife. Have a great day everyone ! #privacy

Anatomy of Apple's Personal Knowledge Graph — Eighth Rank

Every Mac since macOS 13 (2022) ships a pair of daemons whose only purpose in life is to build a graph about who you are, who you know, how those people are related to you and to each other, how you communicate with them, where you go, what you do and when. In this post, we look into how this system works and give you a tool to peek into your own graph.

X asked for image of face to "Confirm your a human" Tried to create an alt twitter account. Twitter wanted my face as collateral. It said, “Confirm you’re a human – Before signing into X, we need to verify that you’re a real person. Your photo will never be stored or used to identify you. This check flashes different colors. Use caution if you are photosensitive.” I gave it a try with face partially covered twice, both times it rejected the attempt. What I gave was enough to identify I am human, but I guess not enough to positively identify exactly WHICH human.

Alternative to privacy.com? (Virtual CC) Title… I understand that now that they’re paired with Persona for ID verification, its no longer a viable option. But what are some other options then? EDIT: Edited Title to reflect the actual service privacy.com provided

Hi Mastodon! I'm Denys, a Ukrainian developer living in Spain. I'm building Vilna OS, a GNOME-based Linux for people who want privacy without the setup, and Gloxi, an open-source assistant that runs on your own computer. The cloud is optional, and text is masked and sent to EU servers only. Building in the open: github.com/StDenis1980/VilnaOS #introduction #linux #gnome #opensource #privacy

Replying to
@Tutanota@mastodon.social Like @redscare@snabelen.no #Question - IS IT #PRIVACY 1st BUT #AI 2nd? / 5th? 10th? (With respect to clear the air I say this...) I also would like to hear a "#disvow" to #AI or sub-specifics - I haven't read or haven't see everything to judge (and see a lot of good - like rebel-good!) - but just clearly say: 1 - "No to AI completely... or partially"? 2 - Is AI defined for you like as calculators and spreadsheet or really higher up the AI ladder ? I'LL BOOST IT HERE if poisitive! Ty <3

I added Reddit to my age verification bypass extension! Age verification is everywhete, so I'm making an add-on for #firefox to bypass age verification on many platforms! https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/age-verification-bypass/ , source code at https://github.com/helloyanis/age-verification-bypass I just added Reddit to the list of supported sites! It can now automatically remove the NSFW log-in popup when viewing NSFW subreddits. (Yes I know we have Lemmy on the fediverse, but I think it can still be useful!) If you don't have Firefox, or want a more private experience, you can also use a front-end like redlib at https://redlib.catsarch.com to avoid communicating with Reddit entirely, and you don't even need my extension on that one! (Video shows off the concept but doesn't show any actual nsfw contents) @privacy@lemmy.ml @privacy@lemmy.world @privacy@programming.dev #ageverification #web #privacy #reddit
