You print and mail your data? You could really cut out a step by getting their fax number.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Make sure to page them first so they know to go pick it up.

[-] DragonConsort@pawb.social 59 points 2 months ago

Love the fact that even when committing to the bit about being anti-privacy they still know the internet is functionally unusable without an adblocker

Also I'm about to say something ignorant as hell but: Isn't a Browser the same thing as a Search Engine?

[-] rayf@lemmy.zip 28 points 2 months ago

Nope, Browser is the tool, the software to reach internet. Like a phone. Search Engine is more like the phone book of URL reference. And you use it with keywords

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

The browser is the software to use the internet and a search engine essentially scans the entire accessible web for the words you type in to it and shows you where they are.

[-] odium@programming.dev 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Browsers are the app you click on: google chrome, firefox, Microsoft edge, safari

Search engines are a website you go to on that app. If you type something in the top bar of your browser that is not a link, browsers will automatically enter that into a search engine.: google search, Bing, duckduckgo, ecosia, startpage

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Browser is an app on your computer

Search engines are apps on other people’s computers that you access via a website

Every corporation on the internet:

No, it clearly says Anonymous

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 29 points 2 months ago

This is a bait to collect technical data from privacy-oriented users

Look, they just list all their specs!

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask.

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Zuck: They "trust me"

Zuck: Dumb fucks.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

how can you even harden a proprietary walled garden

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

There are ways. Privacy Guides has a page on it. I also use NextDNS, which has a blocklist for iDevices, so Apple can't track me (afaik).

I'd rather have an Android, though. Either DivestOS or /e/. I'm just waiting for my iPhone to burn out first.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

thats a good thing. if you have it, use it till it explodes

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Bitches love a good BSD

[-] KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Is that the guy that has nothing to hide?

Who's whining about rising subscription prices in times of lesser quality in movies and tv shows?

Who's whining about not being able to get a raise because "we can't afford to give everyone raises in this economy"?

Who's whining because insurances are so expensive and never pay up?

Who has given up both control over his own information and control over where to get his knowledge from?

Who can no longer own media, or cars, or appliances without paying a monthly subscription that "this time for sure not getting worse over time"?

Who has given up his freedom?

[-] Lumun@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Why 5 instances of Searxng? Do you get very different results with each? I pretty much always use the same one..

[-] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Just for when one is down or is blocked by a search engine. Happens sometimes and I have 5 bookmarked

This entire privacy thing isn't such a problem in the EU luckily lol

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

nah they still spy on you using the American ways until EU realises and tells them to stop, but it doesn't happen instantly and there's always new bullshit to stop them from doing

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 2 months ago

Me: "So companies can't hoard my data?"

EU: "That's right"

Me: "Cool, and I'll encrypt my chat just to be safe."

EU: "Now wait a minute..."

[-] Yuki@kutsuya.dev 2 points 2 months ago

When even lol

[-] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 months ago

It's still a problem in the EU,
less then in the USA,
however still a rather big problem.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

At least in the US we know who's after us (everyone), so there's that.
