Amazon is going to be disabling the privacy feature that processes voice commands locally on Echo devices at the end of this month. Instead, all voice commands will be sent to Amazon's cloud for processing.

I have already followed my own steps to remediate this:

1. Unplug Echo Device
2. Throw Echo Device in Trash
3. Done

"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"

The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.

The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.

Other services will be hit.

📣 Break the silence: Save encryption!

The UK government wants to be able to access anything, anywhere, any time — from your pics to your docs.

It begins with Apple. Other services will be next. That's why we must take a stand NOW!

The message is clear across the political divide: let's hear it!

The UK government should argue in open court why they want to make us less secure by ordering a backdoor into Apple encryption.

A secret Tribunal would be an affront to the privacy and security issues at stake. It must be held in public.

Bipartisan US Congress Members want the secrecy around the UK's encryption-breaking order to be lifted.

"It is imperative that the UK's technical demands of Apple - and of any other US companies - be subjected to robust, public analysis and debate."

“Secret court hearings featuring intelligence agencies and a handful of individuals approved by them do not enable robust challenges on highly technical matters.”

UK MPs have joined the chorus of voices wanting the Apple case to be held in public.

"If the Home Office wants to have effectively unfettered access to the private data of the (innocent) general public, they should explain their case in front of the public."

🗣️ David Davis MP.

"People deserve to know what's happening to their private personal information."

🗣️ Victoria Collins MP.

📣 Make it public!

The call is getting louder for a public hearing of the appeal over the UK's order to break Apple encryption.

Alongside the joint letter from ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship, UK MPs, US Congress Members and the BBC want the secrecy to end.

"Privacy respecting ads"

「 Shortly after, balenaEtcher started displaying ads. Although we didn't like that, we initially didn't view it as a significant privacy risk and had no better alternative at the time.

However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties 」

🚨BREAKING🚨 The French National Assembly removed the backdoor section from the amendment to the #Narcotrafic law.

🙏 And thank you for fighting against this with us. This is a great win for privacy, yet, the battle is not over. Together we are strong! 💪

@onkelmorfar Nice, that's a good one! Thank you so much for spreading the word about the importance of #privacy 😍


Finally got this update from @Tutanota, now to just get my business email moved over to Tuta.*

* the post quantum encryption isn’t the reason for switching my business, I’ve just not had time to sit down and make the switch/transfer (I’m a one man band).

Just like Linus (LTT) said, Apple could have just stopped working in UK territory, people would fight back against UK's government, pushing them to revert back the law and get Apple back. But Apple has no backbone and cares only about money, unlike Tuta.

In the context of all the #privacy discussions going on recently, please share with non-techie friends and family that #Zoom calls where someone says, "It's okay, we're not recording this," are NOT private.

With ~$99 worth of apps, it's super easy to record almost any video on your screen, with accompanying audio. Even though it's easy to see that your Zoom call organizer isn't recording, that doesn't mean anyone else in the call isn't (and you wouldn't know).


I've switched to lurking here for a while due to the effects the current political situation in the US is having on me. I am making some big changes to how I do things, including how I livestream and host various products of my math research. I'll be posting about the steps I take as I take them.

I have switched from #Firefox to #Librewolf on my desktops. This was pretty easy since I have been storing my bookmarks as a plain text file on my desktop for a while now. Very portable. I just wish #VideoDownloadHelper worked on Librewolf.

I am looking into #XMPP now and trying to find a server to sign up for. Does anyone know any with open registration?

I have also recently gotten into #IRC again, and am excited to get more familiar with the #Pidgin client on desktop.

Sure, they might have your previous data.

But you know what they *don't* have?
They don't have your *future* data.

It's never too late to start improving your data privacy online. Every small step helps.

🤯 OMG! Someone just posted on Reddit bragging how he fed 13 MILLION records to Gemini to clean up. What records? "mostly dead scrambled data institutions, college, student records, course materials, research datasets. Used Gemini for cleaning, deduping, and organizing. Super useful for universities, EdTech, and students handling large study resources." #FERPA #Privacy #HigherEd #EdTech #Google #Gemini reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/commen…

I've been using #Firefox derivative #Zen #browser for a couple of months, and am very happy with it. As a refugee from #Arc, I love the similar tab UI and the split-screen view. And it has all of the #privacy features of Firefox, with none of the #chromium
