That’s the reason I log into Facebook like once every week or two.

I like to make sure someone didn’t die, and I miss the funeral.

I choose my town co-op that doesn’t sell my info, and doesn’t care that I torrent. 🙂

Meanwhile, Google slurps up all your data to send you better ads.

Yeah, but hardly anyone does that - as was made apparent by my 20 minute wardrive. By default, WiFi is constantly shouting “here I am!”

My car WiFi is turned off. I didn’t pick up anything at all from my car while doing the wardrive.

If you never connect these to wifi you never get collected

That’s not true. I didn’t connect to these cars, I was just doing passive scans. These vehicles are constantly sending out their SSID, as is the case with all WiFi.

I’m not in favor of killing. I just think that religion should be something that is private, if you have it. I hate living in the Bible belt where there are churches every 5 feet, but only 1 library and 1 school.

All of the Yaweh cults are. For us to advance as a species, such nonsense need be purged.

I don’t really see Wifi as much of a privacy risk.

When you put your name on the WiFi, and combine that with your license plate being visible to everyone. That’s a lot of personal information that you’re leaking.

Water diving?

That was an Auto-Incorrect.

There are a few pieces of war-driving software available on F-Droid. I just started one up to log my trip home for Flock cameras, and caught a ton of vehicle WiFi chatter.

All these cars had cell modems and shared it as WiFi hotspots.

I never have this problem with YT Music through OuterTune…

“Tesla commits fraud to void warranties.”

There FTFY.

Is there not some way to just blacklist the AI domain or IP range?

I just want to see the tech industry implode.

I wonder of this can be used against databrokers? My info is intimate and non consensually posted online.

I hope Europe’s response is “fuck you”.

The government has had their own servers and messaging applications since the internet began. There’s no good reason to ditch what they had in favkr of an inferior product like Microsoft or Google’s web mail.

What we used when I was there 20 years ago was vastly more secure because we rolled our own encryption (literally used mylar punch tape to load it into a device and diatribute it to the network.)

It was resistant to jamming and interception because it worked on a rolling set of keys that changed hundreds of times per second. (frequency hopping)

We owned the .gov and .mil domains and administered them ourselves.

Moving to an external corporation is less secure, and costs more money for the tax payers.

They already have their own programs to do all that. They have had them since outlook was just a client and before Microsoft and Google offered email services.

The government should be using FOSS software simply to be a good stewart of our tax money.

There is also Libre Office. If they were serious about cutting government waste, they wouldn’t use Microsoft or Google.
