Neon, the app that *paid* for your call recordings, is now disabled thanks to a security flaw. Yet, it's still a top-downloaded iOS app. Paying for your data *and* exposing it? Now that's what I call a value proposition! What's the sketchiest app you've willingly given your data to? #AppSecurity #PrivacyFail #iOS #TechNews #DataPrivacy

🔍😂 Behold the latest tech "innovation": DNS over HTTPS, aka DoH, which promises to hide your browsing secrets. Except, surprise! 🎉 Now, instead of many peepers, only one gets to see all your queries. Truly, a monumental win for privacy—if you're a fan of monopolies. 🙄 #TechLogic #PrivacyFail

How lovely when sites about free software teach us about freedom… of surveillance. Thank you, It’s FOSS, for staying true to your mission — not a single scroll past your newsletter goes unnoticed. Two trackers per email — I guess that’s for reliability: one spies, the other supervises the spy.
It almost feels like every time I open your message, I’m being counted at roll call in some little digital gulag.Reading an article about Linux Mint, but feeling like you just got clocked in at Camp RMS.
Free software? Sure. But freedom, It’s FOSS style, is the same kind they promised in Eastern Europe back in the 50s: “You are free to do whatever you want… as long as we log it with a tracking pixel.”So good luck out there, brave FOSS warriors — I’ll go and set up a filter on your newsletter. Just to stay truly free. From you.

Vielleicht Hoodie bei #Cap_able https://www.capable.design/shop bestellen? (Via https://therecord.media/facial-recognitions-latest-foe-italian-knitwear/) — Wobei ich grade merke, dass die prohibitiv teuer sind: Das #Hoodie kostet 420€ nach Preisreduktion. Ja, nee.
