Fixed it, thanks for flagging
Nice, thanks. Your site is really clean. Dig it.
Glad you like it.
And yeah, it's foundational. We tolerate things digitally that we'd never tolerate in person.
Once I start connecting and analogizing digital to physical concepts in a conversation, it appears to "click" in their heads and they end up saying something along the lines of, "You're right. It makes sense."
Hence this project. I hope people can use this website and link it to people who need it to understand how this affects us all—now, not in the future.
Not the first time facial recognition tech has been misused, and certainly won't be the last. The UK in particular has caught a lotta flak around this.
We seem to have a hard time connecting the digital world to the physical world and realizing just how interwoven they are at this point.
Therefore, I made an open source website called idcaboutprivacy to demonstrate the importance—and dangers—of tech like this.
It's a list of news articles that demonstrate real-life situations where people are impacted.
If you wanna contribute to the project, please do. I made it simple enough to where you don't need to know Git or anything advanced to contribute to it. (I don't even really know Git.)
It's easy to scoff at this whole "You will own nothing, and you will be happy" phrase, but it's really gone too far already.
If you wanna keep your bookmarks and the subreddits (communities) that you're subscribed to before deleting your Reddit account, I made a free tool to help you store and offload that data.
It's called Reddit Account Manager, and it's 100% free.
You can also use it to manage your Lemmy account(s), of course.

As usual, it's only Big Tech that's able to compete with Big Tech. They all love to throw their weight around when they can, and join forces when it's convenient.
Neither corporation should be defended or trusted with your data.
The only thing that's kinda funny here is the irony of Microsoft tryna poach Chrome users into their own... wait for it... Chromium-based browser.
This is great to see. I love when big players make moves into the fediverse, because it educates the masses. I'm a nobody on the internet advocating for privacy, security, and ethical social media... and I can advocate til my fingers bleed.
But when companies, publications, celebrities, and others of influence do this, it creates awareness and opens their mind up a bit into the platforms, why they're important, etc. And even if they don't understand federation at first, at least it's a touchpoint. A bit of exposure into how we can have a better, open, and private web.
Honestly, the EU's where it's at.
- Universal standards like USB-C instead of proprietary ports that cause waste
- Removable batteries
- GDPR
- Universal healthcare
- Right to repair
Invest in your people, and you'll go far.
I don't "like" that it got this bad, but I do like that the worse things get, the more we can collectively organize and pressure reform to fix these things.
It'd be great to see a true social revolution take place in my lifetime. Social for the sake of social, not controlled by a single corporation with a business model that's designed to exploit its users.
Lol it was the other way around... I actually added a word instead. Fixed
