Lol? Way to discredit yourself as a clueless fucking rube. “I work in the industry and I take everything my employer says at face value” is not going to convince me bucko.

Why don’t you start talking about Apple’s third party ad service servers if you think you know where all the data is going? They leak everything even if they don’t officially retain stuff. It’s all theatre for employees and regulators and the EU.

Apple is still an ad company they just want to cordon off their “private ad system” with their VPN products and hide my email shit. Don’t trust Apple at all myself

Apple is only promoting themselves as a privacy company to try to get VPN customers to move to their iCloud plus and shit. It’s like Micro$oft moving into open source. I really don’t think it’s ever wise to take a company’s philosophy seriously it’s just a way to manage customer and employee expectations temporarily.

What you’re able to request from these companies officially is just the tip of the iceberg. The point is that between phone numbers, email reuse, google analytics etc with fingerprinting, and operating system telemetry, a complete picture is assembled of users.

If you’re not looking for arguments and instead approaching things from understanding surveillance maybe my statements will make sense now.

I take it you mean Douglas Leith who is the first result?

Doesn’t have anything to do with Microsoft and Apple’s market share on PC which is what I was thinking of.

Besides, it wasn’t like I was saying Google’s mobile telemetry is less invasive on Android, where they compete with Apple for being as creepy as possible. IIRC windows phones haven’t taken off

Whataboutism? Where did I say this makes what Google is doing better? They all work together. God you people are dense.

Microsoft and Apple absolutely are ad companies lmfao.

Just imagine what Microsoft and Apple are getting thru telemetry

I can’t get browsing by hashtags to work on pixelfed itself. Only shows like 3 results.

One lady I know called it “haunted as fuck”

Isn’t matrix supposed to be end to end encrypted and all that? Your old posts won’t even be visible to someone who takes your account IIRC.

Fuck everything with a material that looks like that idk if it’s an adhesive problem but the Surface keyboards like that are simply the worst

Do I make money off blogging? Not by shitposting about people online, or explaining to people why shows they listen to are drivel. For instance I went into the archives of a war show someone recommended and looked up what they were saying about Ethiopia around the time their PM got banned off facebook.

I have published some stuff which I guess constitutes working in writing articles but that’s not how I make a living primarily.

I’m just a hater on my own time mainly, saves me the effort of listening to bad shows by immediately finding their flaws lolz

Well yea I’m clearly in agreement with ya since I only told OP this due to them expressing a worry abt privacy, they deserve to know. I almost began shoving instructions for switching to Linux down their throat haha

Have you ever heard the phrase “fool me twice, shame on me”

That’s fine lol I got too focused on late 20th century history and I’m not that old, I have a lot of reading to do about general historical trivia too. Like I don’t know about, say, Chinese historical epics and shit, so I’ve been looking that stuff up recently with my brother. Also check out Samir Amin and Andre Gunder Frank and Immanuel Wallerstein and Fernand Braudel if you ever want to get deep into that world systems theory shit. Ancient India and China and western Asia.

Hudson’s work is a big influence of David Graeber who seems more popular on this site due to his presence at Occupy and stuff but I find the writing abt the monetary history of the ancient mediterranean and the roman empire and shit much more compelling.

Oh yeah I heard that part already, it’s more abt the org being compromised. WIRED regularly publishes articles that are clearly in coordination with the state department, by the way.

I’m too noided about this stuff, I have no reason to talk shit about Mullvad other than the locations of their servers and knowing that feds have high level wiretaps at datacenters that pretty much none of us can get around, and I’m still talking shit about them

Go listen to feds talking about their training in “physical penetration” if you want to know more lol. They go brag about this shit
