  2. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
    Story (1891-07), “A Scandal in Bohemia,” ch. 1 [Holmes], The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 1

  7. Listen, here's the #SiliconValley agenda for #AI:

    * Race to #MonopolyByDefault (everyone wants to usurp #Google's throne)
    * Increase #DataCollection, #Tracking, #Profiling tenfold by having users WILLINGLY give away their financial information
    * Sell said data, manipulate markets with it and generally do a bit of mass- AND targeted psychological manipulation
    * Sell the systems to #authoritarian states to form a #SurveillanceState
    * Eventually build the same at home

  16. Sly attempts at data harvesting in shops this Christmas?

    Asked for my email address 'to send receipt' - I refused (they printed the receipt). But a lot of people will just accept the 'default'.

  20. @SuperDicq @Vivaldi
    “I really hope they change this policy and publish the full source code at some point. Because if they do Vivaldi can actually start hanging out with the big boys like Firefox or Chromium.”

    #Vivaldi's answer on this: “But, the way we see it, Vivaldi is more than just its code. It is our brand, with associated trademarks we have to protect. This means any fork needs to be branded as a different product.

    And this new product then would become an immediate competitor without putting any significant technical work to reach that status.”
    vivaldi.com/blog/technology/wh.

    “a very small, but important part of the codebase.”
    That's the whole point of it

    And yes, this can be done very easily, but, as they said, there's no coming-back. They don't only have to think about the ease of doing something, but also about it's (long-term) consequences.

    “they don't have the right chipset to run what Windows wants for security”

    Really? I heard #Microsoft does this to be able to run its #AI on people's #computers. The idea is, make sure people have the necessary resources to be #tracked.

    There was a great #interview/#discussion about privacy, including this #topic. It was between a #woman and a #man, done #remotely. The man was the one who taught the woman about the importance of #privacy, and in that interview they were discussing various topics in general. IIRC, the man's name was #Megan or so. 🤔 If anyone knows the #video and has the #link, please #share it, I need it. :tony_smiling:

  26. "The Austrian Federal Administrative Court on Monday said that newspaper Der Standard violated the EU’s data protection rules when introducing a "pay or OK” model on its website, confirming an earlier decision by Austria’s Data Protection Authority (DSB).

    This "pay or OK" approach – introduced on the newspaper’s website when the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force in 2018 – gives users a choice between paying a monthly €9,90 fee to access the website without having their data tracked, or giving consent to data collection and processing for targeted advertising.

    The Austrian privacy watchdog already said in its decision in 2023, that the approach of one of Austria's most-read newspapers was unlawful, as it only allowed a global consent or rejection. The EU's privacy law requires the option to consent to specific types of processing.

    Der Standard appealed this decision and argued that such a "granular" consent is not doable in a "pay or OK" system, as it required tracking and statistics to sell its advertisement in the non-paid version."
