Po tom, čo sa mi podarilo konečne zmigrovať blog z Drupalu, hovoril som si, že načim aj niečo napísať... Recall od Microsoftu ma konečne prinútil sa trochu rozhýbať:

A Word of Advice if you
intend on using/trying Microsoft's newly announced Recall feature 
:
Be *extremely* careful with the data of others.
Recording your own data is one thing, but if you continuously use a feature that will record others on video conferences, chat conversations, and emails, without explicit consent, you could get in a lot of trouble.
Not only this can be extremely unethical (to say the least), but it could also expose you to serious legal consequences.
Remember:
1. Be careful: The use of this feature might not even be legal in some locations/situations/circumstances. If you use it, you should verify this first.
2. Consent should always be free, explicit, and revocable.
3. Once you collect the data of others, you become its guardian. You have a responsibility to secure it properly, for as long as you keep it. This is a heavy burden.
4. The easiest and safest course of action is to simply not collect this data in the first place.
In that sense, I highly recommend NOT using features such as Microsoft's Recall.
This is a data privacy disaster waiting to happen. For others, and for yourself.

New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC
Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."Ars Technica
If you have to show your national ID or passport to get a SIM card in EU countries, does that mean that burner phones don't exist there?
Does this create a privacy risk for people dealing with stalkers and such?

Signal is overall better for content privacy than Telegram.Telegram audio and video calls are also E2EE.But comparing Telegram Secret Chat and Signal Messages I think Telegram Secret Chat has more privacy and anonymity.Ex:peer to peer #messaging with E2EE.

You know who will never mine your private communications to train an LLM?
Better yet, you know whose words you don't need to trust, because you aren't obligated to use any particular server? And the software is open source? And regularly audited by security researchers?

It's not perfect, but no tool is. It's a matter of what trade offs you're willing to accept. Just sayin' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"EA denkt über Werbung in Games nach" - Heise, 14.05.2024
- Werbung im Betriebssystem, das ich gekauft habe
- Werbung im Streaming Portal, das ich durch ein Abo "gekauft" habe
- Werbung in Spielen, die ich gekauft habe
- Zusatzinhalte in der ARD Mediathek, die ich nur gegen ein Abo sehen kann, obwohl ich GEZ bezahle
Also, jetzt langsam reicht es aber wirklich. Es ist Zeit mal ein bisschen zurückzurudern! Das gilt für die Konzerne und die Konsumenten gleichermaßen.
When Big Tech says something is #free, it means that you're the product. 🤢
The internet should be a place of #freedom not a platform for data collection. 💃
Start taking your #privacy back by supporting open source alternatives to Big Tech! 💪

Why are Google and Facebook free? The answer might be worse than you think.
Google and Facebook are two prime examples in tech where the advertiser pays for the service. In return, these services are offered for "free" to the users.Tutanota
#ISW, May 8 assessment: "Reports indicate that there is an available open-source tool that allows people to search by specific coordinates for Telegram users who have enabled a certain location-sharing setting."
But of course there is. The russian-engineering, roll-your-own-crypto, cryptocoin-shilling, encrypted-but-not-encrypted messaging app to have a zero-day exploited privacy flaw exposing users' location? I can't imagine where such failures would come from.
![Russian opposition outlet Meduza reported on May 8 that this tool allows people to input coordinates to discover all Telegram users who have enabled the "find people nearby" setting located within 50–100 meters of the coordinates.[31] Meduza noted that the "find people nearby" setting usually only allows users to find other Telegram users within 50–100 meters of their current location. Users can enable or disable this location-sharing setting in the "contacts" settings of the application.](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/548211 "Russian opposition outlet Meduza reported on May 8 that this tool allows people to input coordinates to discover all Telegram users who have enabled the \"find people nearby\" setting located within 50–100 meters of the coordinates.[31] Meduza noted that the \"find people nearby\" setting usually only allows users to find other Telegram users within 50–100 meters of their current location.

Protect your info online folks and don't expect much from AirBnB if you get a fraudulent charge from them on your card!
I recently saw an AirBnB purchase on my credit card. I did not make it. $CAD466 for a reservation in London. I have never even had my CC connected to AirBNB and my account is secure. It was obviously made by someone who got my CC info.
I saw it a couple days after the transaction but it was still pending on my statement. So I called my bank (VanCity) and they asked all the right questions, removed the "token" for AirBNB so other transactions couldn't be made, and encouraged me to contact ABNB, screenshot any communications, and try to get them to reverse the transaction.
I had three conversations with ABNB. The first, text chat, I explained the situation, they were receptive but it ended without any resolution.
After waiting a few hours for a response, I called ABNB for another conversation. This one ended with them agreeing, verbally, to refund the amount in 24-48hrs.
However, immediately after the end of that conversation, they sent an email, attached here, where they argued, without evidence, and despite the fact the support person said it was someone in Montreal named James, (I know no one in Montreal named James!) that the most likely explanation was that it was a friend or family
member. 😡 They would not refund.
After I sent a spirited reply demanding evidence they said they would only give it under supeona or a police investigation!! 🤯 (full text in image alt)
So ya hey AirBnB: Suck it.
I have gone back to my bank to have the number deactivated and put in a charge dispute. It could take up to 3 months for the charge to be refunded!

Be careful with the "All or Nothing"
approach in regard to data privacy.
Absolutes can be misleading.
For example, it is not because it’s not possible to delete ALL traces of ALL your data that deleting at least the visible data isn’t worth it.
Reducing your digital traces, even when it is not completely erasing your digital traces, almost always offer some benefits to increase your privacy and security online.
Giving up however very rarely helps.
Stop confusing publicly available with public domain.
These are not the same, at all.

Thanks @Homebrewandhacking for providing the artist's info.
Probably a good time to remind @Tutanota that providing attribution when you post the artwork of other people is not only common decency but also a condition of using the Mastodon server:
"Content created by others must clearly provide a reference to the author, creator, or source."
There are already people referring to this as "your" cartoon.
Disappointed to see The Markup share advice for people to use WhatsApp in its post about preparing your phone for a protest, and that it's coming from "digital security trainers."
Metadata literally kills, and WhatsApp is swimming in it. The metadata they collect includes:
Groups you're a member of, location, personal info (email, phone number, user IDs), contacts and their phone numbers, in-app search history, when you use the app & how often you use it. E2EE alone doesn't guarantee #privacy

If you are the tech-savvy person within your family or friends group 
:
Never ever shame someone for coming to you for advice after being the victim of a scam, malware, or for using an unsecure product.
If you do this,
they might never come back to you later. They might just feel so ashamed they will just stay alone with their tech problems.
Instead, always tell them:
1. It was a good idea to come to you with this. Be empathetic with them 💚
2. Give them advice on how to minimize the damage now. Actionable advice 🚑
3. Help them harden their security for now and for the future. Recommend better products to them. But be careful not to overwhelm them with advice. One step at the time 🔒
4. Talk to them with respect and empathy. Tell them how the people who abused their trust are horrible and anyone can fall for the right scam. Remind them there are things to do to reduce the risks of being victimized again in the future, and help them slowly implementing these 💪
5. Be thankful they trusted you with this. It means they think highly of you 🥰

Gentle Privacy and Security Reminder
for Organizations 🔒🗑:
One of the easiest way for your organization to not have data stolen in a data breach, is simply to not have this data.
One of the easiest way to save your organization future headaches and costs is to simply delete thoroughly the data you do not need anymore as soon as you do not need it anymore.
Whenever possible, it's even better to not collect it at all in the first place.
You might need to retain some data of course, but when an incident occurs, you will greatly reduce the harm, damage, and cost if you keep only the minimum data required.
You cannot be held accountable for the data you simply do not have.
Keep this in mind! ✔️✨
