Freundliche Warnung an alle, die sich für #REWEPay entschieden haben sollten:
Löscht es und nutzt andere Zahlungs-Methoden! Ihr zahlt mehr als nur Geld. Ihr zahlt mit sehr sensiblen Daten. #PrivacyByDefault ist das nicht! Zahlung via SEPA (z. B. beim Liefer-Dienst) hat ebenso eine Bonitäts-Prüfung, dort via Schufa. Da kommst Du vermutlich nicht raus.

Any piece of Software that lets you share Media with others, be it #messengers like #signal or SMPs like #mastodon or #bluesky, should prompt you to decide, whether you want to keep, change or delete the #metadata of the media file.
The same goes imo for any application, that lets you insert media files into larger documents, like #zettlr, #joplin, #LibreOffice, etc.
All these applications should offer both, a default setting AND a per-file prompt/switch that allows to make this decision.
This is BETTER than stripping metadata silently by default because:
* it creates awareness for the issue with the user base.
* I do not have to remember for each application I work with, how it handles the problem. (I should not have to read through the docs for this!)
* thus I will not have to use third party tools to remove metadata each time i share a pic, when it is actually done by the main application anyway.
* last but not least, there are cases where it is better or even important to preserve metadata. -

Badwolf browser, made by @[email protected], has won me over using it as my primary browser over the past week. Simple, no frills, private, with no JS by default(easily enabled with button when you need it).
Even managed to make some quick n' dirty mods to the source for the few things I missed:
- have a home page when opening for first time
- added a key shortcut to open a new "search" tab which opens a search engine page
thanks for all your hard work on this! :blobcat_meltheart:

Comet browser update puts privacy in users’ hands
Users can manage privacy, security and AI Assistant permissions directly from the homepage.
Perplexity has unveiled new privacy features for its AI-powered browser, Comet, designed to give users clearer control over their data. The updates include a new homepage widget called Privacy Snapshot, which allows people to review and adjust privacy settings in one place.
The widget provides a real-time view of how Comet protects users online and simplifies settings for ad blocking, tracker management and data access. Users can toggle permissions for the Comet Assistant directly from the homepage.
Comet’s updated AI Assistant settings now show precisely how data is used, including where it is stored locally or shared for processing. Sensitive information such as passwords and payment details remain securely stored on the user’s device.
Perplexity said the changes reinforce its ‘privacy by default’ approach, an important principle in EU data protection law, combining ad blocking, safe browsing and transparent data handling. The new features are available in the latest Comet update across desktop and mobile platforms.
