You chose the smart vacuum. You didn't choose the smart lock on your front door.
One you can unplug. The other? You're forced to use it. You can't swap it for a dumb deadbolt. You can't opt out. It's in the lease.
Your home shouldn't be a surveillance tool you can't turn off.

I took this photo myself at "Outpost One", a great Star Wars exhibition with a lot of fan artwork and love for detail.
I thought could be nice for a sticker.😎

💥 Hater Alert: This photo was created with ChatGPT. We love technology and live to research. In this world, there are always haters—but to them we say: don’t even try to expose us. If you’ve tried in the past, remember—we’re always one step ahead.

As #Invidious and piped.video are not to be used by third parties (for good and understandable reasons) and for those who can't or don't want to self-host, is there still a #privacy-preserving non-#CORS #YouTube proxy REST API out there somewhere?

This is your infrequent reminder to collect all and every device you have that has digital storage - floppies, USB sticks, hard drives, cameras, phones, iPods, *everything* - in a pile on your kitchen table, look at it, and consider what data is there.
And, that if you are ever accused of a crime, right or wrong, none of these devices will be returned to you in a relevant timeframe.

"There are people in Italy who want to adopt a child. There are women in rural France who have lost their husbands. There are households in Germany that have to make ends meet on 1,000 euros a month. They all have something in common: #data #brokers know about them. Their personal characteristics help the advertising industry make money."

I'm not worried about #automated #ChatControl being "#error-prone". I don't want "error-free" chat control either.
If you oppose chat control in general, stop providing an indirect list of conditions under which you'd find it acceptable. Eventually, all of your reasoning will be nuked with a simple "nothing is perfect".

"Looking for lists of people with #depression, #anxiety, #bipolar disorder, #PTSD, or #OCD? [...] lots of companies who would love to sell it to you. They can even include #names, #emails, home #addresses, #income, #ethnicity, and details about people’s children.[...] One company offers records on the #mental #health of 10,000 people starting at $0.20, with a discount if you buy in bulk."
