If you’re going to get Windows users with limited tech iCal knowledge to switch over Pop makes quite a bit of sense given they can go out and grab a System76 PC and not have to think about how to use Rufus to make a bootable USB.

I watch some of the videos from the main channel as well as Short Circuit and honestly I’m more there for the other hosts, even in this video Linus is the most negative of the three. Like actively uses Linux after the last challenge even if it’s not for every device.
I watch Jake’s channel now that he left and he’s got more interesting things going on. Same with Alex.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•ProtonMail provides information used to identify email owner...
0·10 days agoI’m not saying Proton was right or wrong to hand over data, who knows how much if a fight they really out up, but it seems more like an OpSec thing, where they found the account because they used that email to create a user account somewhere that they then posted about being a part of this group rhe FBI was going after.
I’d say your best bet to avoid this would be to create a free account that doesn’t have any payment info and doesn’t use your premium account as a recovery method of any kind if you’re going to use it as the email associated with a social media account. Or like someone else mentioned, if there’s an anonymous payment method, always use that.
Again, not a great look for Proton, but doesn’t really go against any of their claims as far as data encryption is concerned. Not sure if they could encrypt that payment info.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Car (lack of) privacy, and what to do about it. Let's talk about this?
1·23 days agoI haven’t looked into them really at all, but their phone app I would consider a data connection, also how is it updating that? Just Bluetooth? Maybe they have that info, like I said, I haven’t looked into them much yet.
As others have said, it’s my daily driver. I like the vertical tabs, sessions, and pinned tabs. I saw someone mention you can’t watch TV or Movies through it, but I haven’t had issues with any of the main streaming sites, or the more unconventional free sites that exist, but yeah you will need to make adjustments for it to match LibreWolf privacy-wise
Actually it says SDD. Must be referring to those SeaGate hybrid drives, but even those are referred to as SSHD, so I’m at a loss for what they mean.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharingEnglish
241·8 months agoOne of my gf’s friends went through a pretty nasty breakup, moved and whatnot and most of her friend group were trying to make sure that the ex and his friends didn’t have their location anymore and I’m just sitting here like “its wild that you have to go through that” well a couple weeks later 3 of her tires were stabbed with a screw driver or something, and while there’s no concrete evidence that they learned where she moved, I’m still over here trying to get them all to be more conscious about online privacy and location sharing, but nothing works…
I could go for like <5 in to be honest.
I just want them to be smaller.
Sceptre still makes TVs that are just that, no underlying smart OS

Technology@lemmy.world•Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockersEnglish
2·9 months agoI’m fine with reasonable ads. Plex Live TV has ads that don’t always get caught by NextDNS for me and it’s always some local business and like 30 seconds, NBD it’s a free service and needs to operate somehow and I’m not aware of any major privacy breaches from Plex. I feel the same way about YT video sponsor segments, they don’t always get caught by ReVanced, also, NBD the creator also needs to get paid for their work.
Also multiple SD cards, swapping out frequently so even if they grash the camera you still have something.
Honestly, it would be kind of funny that your phone calls emergency services when you get pulled over and you don’t want them to force you to unlock your phone, having a 911 operator recording the entire interaction’s audio.
Side note, leave the burner in a Faraday bag when it’s going to be near your daily driver.

I liked Little Brother. Didn’t get into Homeland as much though.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why does Signal want a phone number to register if it's supposedly privacy first?
17·10 months agoThe only thing I’ll tack onto this is that with the introduction of Signal usernames, you still have to give Signal your number to verify that at least on some level, you probably are a real person. As someone with 5 different phone numbers, probably doesn’t stop spam as much as they’d hoped, but more than they feared, but at least now you don’t have to give that Craigslist guy who uses Signal your phone number, just your username. Is that the best method? I dunno, but but it is something.

2·11 months agoThe thing keeping me from self hosted email is despite working in the tech field for 8 years, I still can’t seem to wrap my head around SSL certs, especially trying to use one from Let’s Encrypt. I don’t know why.

Obviously not really Notion like but if it’s mostly recipes, any reason you don’t want to do something like Mealie for that?
