isn't the title misleading?

tiktok isn't banned in france. Paris is trying to reimpose itself on New Caledonia by all means. A correct title would be: Tiktok ban in New Caledonia makes VPN usage soar

it's probably temporary. Either they go free and tiktok is back, or Paris regains control and tiktok is back 🤷

debate about New Caledonia's status is "none of my business".

if you think joe is "genocide", wait and see what will happen when donald goes back into the white house!

where were these protests when it was the U.$. itself that was doing the invading? They probably thought that there were no civilians hurt in Iraq?

"genocide joe" 🤦

What are the most private social media platforms?

I've been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....

i don't even take my phone with me when i go out for the gym 🤷

people are stuck to their phones! i see people doing crunches while watching a video on their phones in one of their hands. Hurts to look at their pitiful postures.

aren't there any laws there for guaranteeing accessibility?

What are your thoughts on Invizible pro ? ( f-droid.org )

The app seems fairly small in size compared to orbot which is really old and also invizible pro seems to do a ton of things that including firewall vpn etc . So does it connect to tor network properly and pass all your traffic through it as good as orbot and completely block internet acces to not whitelisted services as good...

merde ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

i use orbot for a couple of apps.

Tor browser cannot replace orbot

merde ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

I've read this on https://invizible.net

This product is produced independently from the Tor®, DNSCrypt, Purple I2P software and carries no guarantee from The Above Projects about quality, suitability or anything else.

why would i use this app "that carries no guarantee" instead of those original projects?

merde ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

both at the same time

☞ netGuard through Orbot

I wouldn't be surprised is many data trackers don't pay attention to any of the permissions and agreements. It's hard to validate they aren't in compliance and it's hard for most people to even challenge these businesses.

organizations like la quadrature validate and challenge those businesses. Europe is relatively strict on this subject.

Tesla’s closest Chinese rival, Li Auto, slashes prices as EV discount war spreads to premium market ( www.scmp.com )

Li Auto, Tesla’s nearest rival in mainland China, reduced the price of all its vehicles by up to 5.7 per cent, just a day after the US carmaker offered discounts to local customers amid an escalating discount war....

merde ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

wasn't BYD, and not Li, the closest rival?

merde ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

the word 'rival' doesn't necessarily mean that Tesla is ahead.

but i'm not an expert on this subject either. I've heard/read/watched about BYD, i have yet to see one while I see Teslas everyday. I know that globally BYD is selling more, but in Europe it's still Tesla that sells more.

I would never buy a Tesla and i think the world would be a better place tomorrow, if elonMusk drops dead right now.

my favorite car is this thing :)

Anyone know exactly what info Youtube captures from you from its browser version (and by what means)?

I know the prevailing sentiment for a long time in the privacy community has been "DAE Youtube bad?" though I have always thought that it is kinda overblown. Besides, I am using Firefox which is supposed to isolate tabs so they can't speak to each other, so I felt a small amount safer using Youtube....

merde ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

firefox doesn't hide your ip.

google/YouTube probably knows who is watching what from where and when unless you use tor or a vpn with a browser that leaves no traces, leaks no information (probably not the default firefox)

but youtube in firefox having access to what you type on another app? i don't think that's possible

Comments no longer visible with youtube frontends?

Are comments no longer visible for anyone else using the youtube frontends? I can no longer see comments with either invidious, piped, or viewtube, and I've tried several instances of each. With invidious there's just nothing there below the video description. With viewtube I get an error message. And with piped I see...

merde ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

the first thing i do with any yT frontend is disabling comments. When i was on linux desktop i used to zap them with uBlock. Why would anybody want to read them?🤷

sethMeyers started torturing himself with yT comments during covid lockdowns in Corrections. It's fun to see somebody ridiculously engaging with that cesspool 🤣

you don't need a camera, you can load the qrCode image (after sending it through Signal 🤭

i don't know in what world you're living, but in this world where people think you're (edit: we are) a pain in the ass for refusing to install WhatsApp when everyone is expected to use it for official communication (work + organizations); Signal is great.

I've convinced a couple of dozens of people to use Signal, and only one to keep Simplex as, at least, a backup.

as a caring-about-privacy minority we can invite "them" to Signal. "They" know Signal and Telegram👎. "They" understand our concerns. "They" for whatever incomprehensible reason keep using WhatsApp 🤷 We're left out of the loop because once "everyone" is on that WhatsApp group, it's tiring for them to send an email or an sms to the exceptional one or two people

merde , (edited )
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

it is relevant.

requiring phone number and being centralized doesn't make Signal "not great" in a world where a great majority of people use WhatsApp + read the last comment again but more carefully ;)

signal is a great alternative to a WhatsApp world. Simplex or Session has no chance with the general public

good for you

not my case. maybe you're monolingual? maybe your local and language settings are the same? maybe your system and browser language is the same?

how does it help me to read that you don't have the same problem?

merde OP ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

do you have "follow device language" checked in settings > language ?

for example, Tor browser has the option "Request English versions of web pages for enhanced privacy"

merde OP ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

oh no! I'm so sorry, i will never use sarcasm ever again. Please help me

merde OP ,
@merde@sh.itjust.works avatar

thanks for testing. I wanted to see if it's rather the os that's triggering the change

  • force stop mull
  • change region in android
  • open mull, about:config

language is set automatically to the new region of the android (in settings it's still English (US). I didn't modify Mull. This is the default behavior 🤷

supermarket club cards

Hey I'm sure you all know how sketchy club cards are for collecting your data. But I do begrudge paying slightly higher prices just for valuing my privacy. I was wondering if there was any way to sign up to these things whilst limiting the data they have access to. Would it be enough to sign up with fake details and never use...
