A long list of tech companies are rushing to give themselves the right to use people's data to train AI
  • People freely hand it over. Haha. Some of these can't be avoided, like Universities strictly using Zoom for office hours/class or workplaces that use Microsoft 365.

  • โ€˜Largest number of claims ever filedโ€™: 17M people validated to receive Facebook settlement payment
  • Please hand over even more of your personal data so you can receive an ever decreasing amount of money.

    Cars are getting an 'F' in data privacy. Most major manufacturers admit they may be selling your personal information, a new study finds, with half also saying they would share it with the government or law enforcement without a court order.

    Best privacy tv's? Or dumb none smart tvs?
  • TV's have become privacy nightmares in recent days.

    One option would be any TV that works then simply keep it offline and stream from a device that allows you to have more control over your privacy.

    If you're wanting to actually use a smart TV's functions, I think NextDNS can be set up to block most of the telemetry on whichever smart TV you have.

    Meta has long fought Europe's demands that it get people's consent before using their data for targeted ads. Then a Norwegian regulator threatened fines of $100,000 per day.

    Why are actors smoking in movies and tv shows?
  • They usually smoke nicotine-free herbal cigarettes. I don't know the long term affects but definitely better than regular cigarettes.

    I think it could be considered dedication to their work, especially when you consider they usually have to film a scene several times. Cillian Murphy probably went through thousands of them when filming Peaky Blinders. Lol

  • Reddit is down
  • Before Reddit killed Apollo, Lemmy was really lacking in daily content. Now we've reached a point where I can open the app multiple times a day and see new content.

  • How Signal Walks the Line Between Anarchism and Pragmatism
  • Private communication apps only work if they have people you want to talk to and Signal is the only one I could get my family to use.

    www.wired.com How Signal Walks the Line Between Anarchism and Pragmatism

    The privacy-focused messaging app arose from a fringe culture that emphasized individual autonomy and skepticism of authority. As it tries to go mainstream, can it escape its roots?

  • Signal is by far much easier to get family/friends to use than Matrix or Session. Downloaded it to my parents' phones and told them this is how you contact me.

  • Tedd.it is Shutting Down

    Before the API changes Teddit was one of my favorite ways to browse Reddit. It seems like more and more that companies make changes that reduce privacy.

  • Either way. This would be a win-win for the Fediverse. Allows new people to hear about it and validates Mastadon as an alternative to Twitter and Threads.

  • It sounds like both Partey and Tierney may stay now. Especially with Timber coming in now, Tierney could get more starts.

  • Oh yeah. Maybe in the next update, seems pretty risky right now to turn on 2FA.

  • How can I get 2FA secret key from my Lemmy.world account ?
  • I had to do it in the mobile browser. In settings when you turn on 2FA, a button appears above the checkbox. I tapped it in my mobile browser and it opened my authenticator app.
