Technology@beehaw.org•Cloudflare CEO says bot internet traffic has overtaken humans
4·2 months agoAre people giving up waiting for Cloudflare to work considered as bots because they didn’t finish the challenge?
This feature is mandatory in all new cars sold in the European Union since 2024
You have to create an account to use it. So on the privacy point of view, it doesn’t compete with Lumo or Duck AI.
I just tried the Am I Unique site and I’m surprised by the amount of information the sites can have. Why do they know if I’m connected using 4G or 5G for example? Even using a privacy browser

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Can't we do anything as google is killing AOSP and custom ROMS
22·11 months agoFor banking, I use the website instead of the application. I have very few non-open-source applications left on my phone.
If you still use your Google account to synchronize your contacts and calendar, you can move them to Nextcloud too.

Use cash. A card payment allows your bank and the shop to track you.
Many people play Santa Claus around Christmas. Does it mean that there is a real Santa Claus?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•How difficult would it be to fork and mantain a chromium version that still supports Manifest V2?
351·2 years agoI think that using gecko based browsers like Firefox is the best thing to do in the short term. But having no competition is a bad thing. So supporting new web engines, like Ladybird, is important too: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird
And there is still the 14 eyes agreement
It doesn’t interoperate well with FOSS software like K9 and Thunderbird.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Mercurygram: a Telegram FOSS fork with Material You themes and additional features
4·2 years agoThank you for your comment. Since I deactivated Google Play services, I don’t get notifications on many apps. I didn’t know there were alternatives. Unfortunately, the app server must be compatible, but if I can have it at least for Telegram with this fork, it would be a good start. I’ll take time to compare the different alternatives and see if other push servers are compatible with more apps.
For what I understand, there are self hosted push servers, like NextPush that works on Nextcloud, and some that provide you a server, liked ntfy. For the latter, you have to check the privacy policy to see if it’s better than the default Google firebase server.
In some countries, you need an ID to buy a sim card, so it’s linked to your identity, even if you pay cash.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•What do you folks do for IRL privacy in terms of CCTV, facial recognition, etc?
1·2 years agoI vote for political parties that are explicitly against facial recognition when possible (always a small party that nobody knows). I use cash.
Libretube works for me, but not Tubular.
He wants to try before accepting the deal.
I don’t know if there exists such a thing as GrapheneOS account, but it is not required. You can add Google, Facebook or other accounts like with regular Android. I use a self hosted Nextcloud instance to synchronize contacts and calendar with DavX5 app. GrapheneOS has built-in apps. I use most of them. For the app stores I mostly use Fdroid and Aurora store for non open source software. I don’t use Google play store even sandboxed because I don’t accept the terms of use, mostly because they have the right to uninstall apps from your phone without consent or notice.
