Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cities Panic Over Having to Release Mass Surveillance RecordingsEnglish
4·1 month agoIn reality it’s supposed to be even more strict. They’re trying to get around this by having a private company own the cameras. If the government owned the cameras, they would need to get a warrant with a sufficiently narrow target from a judge before initiating electronic surveillance to track the targets’ location.
If something is really going on which justifies it, getting a warrant is trivial and probable cause is a low bar.
Arcka@midwest.socialtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Chuck Schumer indeed sucks, but it concerns me that nobody is asking why Peter Thiel's mouthpiece is the Dem leading calls for him to step down.English
1·1 month agoLook at the membership of the “progressive caucus”, it’s not like they have to actually support progressive policies to use the label when they feel it’ll help themselves.
Right? Why not just let the user position it where they want it? This seems like it can only be nefarious.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Study finds 72% of Developers View Steam as Monopoly [from the overall pool, 75% of respondents were senior managers]English
3·1 month agoReally? Has Valve abused their position to specifically further entrench their monopoly or other anti-consumer behavior?
There was a time I would have agreed with that comparison but Google has sucked for a while.

1·1 month agoEmail has been a decentralized federated system from the start, though I’m not aware of any community I’d trust to be a more privacy-respecting host than the available commercial offerings.

Technology@lemmy.world•ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy?English
3·1 month agoOur legal entity is in Sweden, where the law does not allow for any government to force us to spy on our users.
You’ll agree that Proton doing better would require them to move to a different country, right?
Also Mullvad doesn’t offer email accounts, does it? Seems that they couldn’t have a ‘no user data’ policy if they did since the emails would be exactly that.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that risks to exposure of nuclear radition are often over exaggerated by considering a Linear No Threshold (LNT) model, which does not match with many studies.English
31·2 months agothe LNT model isn’t actually used there at all.
But it is in use at plants in the US as it’s built in right from planning before construction even begins, because LNT has thoroughly influenced legal and regulatory requirements.

3·2 months agoFirstly, you should say please when you’re asking for something.
The claim was made as if they know exactly the materials the thugs’ gaiters are made of. Unless they are an insider of that group, it’s way too presumptuous.
Common natural or synthetic fabrics aren’t as effective at blocking modern facial recognition as anyone might assume.
Here’s a couple examples of someone putting in a bit of effort to actually test both common and purpose-built products against facial recognition.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The internet provider on my dorm explicitly allows legal torrentsEnglish
2·2 months agoBut if that’s the extent of the approach you’d still be giving the same information to your VPN provider.
Most people would be better off just making sure all of their traffic uses TLS. If you also need to obscure your address from your destination’s host, then combine the two protections.

2·2 months agoYou shouldn’t need to pay for a VPN to prevent your ISP from seeing whether your torrent is public-domain or not if you’re using TLS.


IMO if your survival depends on doing a ‘job’ (especially if you’re employed by someone else), then it’s better to look for fulfilment in your personal life and realize the job is a means to survive and hopefully also fund what you really want to do for yourself and your loved ones.
Work to live, not live to work.
