Well, this is just... *fantastic*. An AI image generator startup left its database wide open, leaking over a million images and videos, including 'nudified' pics of real people.

Because nothing says 'cutting-edge' like a massive data breach involving non-consensual digital undressing. What's the most secure thing you've built lately? Asking for a friend.

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

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.

so... Photobucket is going to sell / use user content, including biometrics etc, and if you want to delete your account you have first AGREE to the new ToS to sign in. Wtf. The contact form / support request form may or may not be broken, so yeah.

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.

#Eufy, a daughter company of #Anker, reportedly caught sending #doorcam footage to the cloud, complete with username-tagged image recognition, and possibility of a remotely triggered VNC stream, despite claims everything is local and no cloud storage being used: https://youtu.be/2ssMQtKAMyA
Cloud data was reportedly still accessible even after the footage was deleted locally; even after the user had deleted their account.
