The more I hear about Android 15,
the less excited I get for it…

Spying on you :P

That’s why I replaced it with MicroG:

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.

Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM, to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.

Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.

All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).

To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?

Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.

Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.

Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

OP I agree with you, it’s a great idea imo.
I’ve been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..

Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban

I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it’s good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.

However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it’s become my go-to network speed testing tool

:D

Sure hope so.

Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.

Instead it’s a general “contact your government”,
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.

= AI bubble

You can use Aegis and/or Yubico Authenticator instead, that’s what I do.

Never give up,
each eye you poke out is one less they can use for data collection.

It’s a slow process and they’ll grow more eyes,
but the less they have on you,
the more private you’ll be.

Imo cuz people are too PC (Politically Correct) buthurt lately.

I’d even flip the tables, and call it racist if you won’t allow other races to dress up / admire your own race.

Ofc doing it to make fun / be a dick about other races is not okay.

I won’t disclose where I store mine.

But I’d recommend to:

• Not backup your PW manager’s database + key file in the same location
  (That would decrease security, x1 data breach would allow them to easily brute force your PW DB since they’ll have the key)
• Not go with a PW manager that does not allow you to choose a location where you desire to backup to (Seen plenty of mainstream PW managers getting data breached by now, so going with a cloud, which is not solely used for PW managers, has an advantage imo, since they tend to be less targeted by hackers)

I’ve been happily using KeeWeb + Keepass2Android for years now:

• https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android

There sure is:

2 words for you:
Password Manager

Get around to using one :P

I only remember my password to my PW manager, which additionally is encrypted with a key file to increase security.

The rest of my PWs are 128 character long random generated PWs, with capitals, numbers, special characters etc…

Hope these will help with opting out for data collection / informing yourself about it:

It might not be as environmentally friendly as POS (Proof of Stake),
however it’s much more secured against attacks.

POS only has a few hundred validators that need to be attacked.
POW needs tens of thousands if not more miners that need to be attacked.

Imo monetary systems,
should aim for maximum security.

XMR is one of the few honorable crypto projects out there though.

However this fundraiser is suspicious and spamming, which I do not condone.
