Privacy@lemmy.world•Police in US state of Nevada can now track cellphones without a warrantEnglish
12·2 days agoNot defending this bullshit but O title is “Nevada police may be tracking your phone’s location without a warrant. Here’s how”
With relevant part
Although Fog Data says that their data is made anonymous and “linked to devices … not people,” the company says the tool can help access information that “would otherwise remain hidden.” The company has a tool on their website that allows individuals to opt out of their databases.

33·4 days agoJust checked LibreWolf a hardened Firefox as I thought they disable it. Turns out its just off default and “There aren’t significant downsides as Firefox Sync encrypts your data locally before transmitting it to the server.”
I thought there might be another reason to have it off (giving Mozilla your email?) but seems OK.

Linux@programming.dev•Oh No! Now A Federal Bill Wants OS-Level Age Verification for Everyone in the USAEnglish
2·5 days agoThat’s not “verified” you’d need to upload some sort of government ID like you need to for porn inant western countries now.
While for porn you can just use a VPN, if this bill requires ot at device level it will be harder to get around.

19·7 days agoNot shitting on the idea but I bought a FairPhone5 that includes to what this suggests. Each main component (so not chipset) can be unscrewed and replaced easily, chsrgrt port, camera, speaker, removable battery.
As of next month every major telco that owns infrastructure in the contrary will have blocked the IMEI (the first part identifies the phone and model) and will be unusable. Even unusable with a data only sim.
It will only work on WiFi.
Guess im just venting but id love to see how this concept could help in the situation.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What made you choose Signal over WhatsApp (if applicable)?English
1·10 days agoWhatsApp and meta have had a number of data breaches and accoint losses due to how the technology functions.
Signal is so secure that Defence use it. There’s articles of russia “hacking” singal but looking into them shows it’s only via social enginnnering to scan a QR code. Its so secure from accoint and data loss that signal literally can only give minimal evidence in court (compared to the Proton VPN stuff recently).
But TBH you might want to look into “How convince people of Y when they want X”. Your friends want vinilla and you want chocolate. Its not specifically about WhatsApp vs signal.
