#Signal Should Improve Visualization of Its #Privacy Properties
https://karl-voit.at/2025/10/12/Signal

I recently learned about a new way to leak your #privacy, and it’s a scary one. Before going further, know that I’m not a network engineer: perhaps if you work in this field, you’ve known it for your whole career, but it’s quite new to me. Let me share my findings, and you can judge for yourself.
Since the original post was quite lengthy, I have broken it down into two installments: the probl…

Whenever people are worried about criminals using #privacy-oriented software, I'm wondering who do they mean by "criminals"?
Let me point out that in some countries people verbally opposing the authoritarian regime are "criminals", while rapists become presidents. Or people peacefully protesting against genocide are "criminals", while nazis openly calling for violence are model citizens.
So yeah, if I were to develop such software, I'd rather have it used by "criminals". Because, guess what, true criminals will get their hands on that kind of software anyway.

This is a spectacular way to get folks to see the impact of the #surveillance state. Great job #MassiveAttack!

Massive Attack used live facial recognition technology on concertgoers, turning surveillance into provocative art that sparked debate about privacy.

Anyone know anything about solidagent.io?
They appear to be an EU hosted AI agent - in the sense that they have the trained models on their own platforms, rather than using an API so presumably queries etc stay on their servers.
Their statements of #privacy etc look good and the test queries I posted (on quite complex #coding problems) were very impressive, but I don't think it's strictly FOSS otherwise.
Would be happy to hear if others have good/bad experience with them as they seem quite new.

Alexa, Google Home, Nest Cam, Ring, Fitbit, Samsung appliances... People are buying spy gadgets every day, accepting them and welcoming them into their homes with a smile, unaware that they are playing supporting roles in an episode of Black Mirror. But now it is not fiction.

Left Duolingo years ago, but haven't gotten around to formally visiting the "Duolingo Data Vault" to request account and any related data to be deleted.
They did make quite simple to do so, which is nice.
Protect your privacy, folks!

TikTok says it will introduce measures to "strengthen our platform" although it disputes some of the findings.

Scant de EU straks jouw berichten?
Binnenkort stemt Europa over een wet waarmee beelden van kindermisbruik beter kunnen worden opgespoord. Een plan om een soort scanner in telefoons te bouwen die alle berichtjes scant voordat je ze verstuurt.

Dear #Prague (#digital) #privacy community. I am thinking about organizing a meeting once in a while in a cafe, so we can talk about common topics. WDYT? Do you know anyone who will be interested in joining?

Tell me, when you need a photo for a document, aren't you worried that the photographer is using commercial software that will upload it somewhere, and that it will be used to train models?
I suspect the office issuing the documents isn't any better.

In much the same way we want useful #privacy focused, secure software, but the techbros keep delivering insecure #AI focused insecure nightmares, I wish the food industry would stop trying to sell us #ultraprocessed #overpackaged and mostly marketing driven guff and start turning their brilliant minds to real problems.
Why can't I have a delicious #vegan #plantbased cheese that doesn't cost the earth available at my local supermarket?
It's as if the brightest minds of each generation get turned to the wrong things - like ever more sophisticated ways to keep scrolling, or physics graduates who became quants and helped cause the financial crisis...

If you use "Fossify gallery" go to phone/Android/data/org.fossify.gallery/files/Pictures
And you may find your long lost Deleted photos that you cropped with it.
I don't think that's a good privacy features. They are deleted photos and they are still here..
Edit: these are the photos that were originally cropped to use as wallpaper and was deleted but Fossify gallery kept them anyway

Would you be interested on a European #coop alternative to #Github for your private/for-profit projects (paid service)?
I welcome comments elaborating on why you said "yes", "maybe" or "no" .
Note: I'm aware of other alternatives like Gitlab, Bitbucket, Gitea, Codeberg... None of those match what I'm asking about for one or more reasons.

I’ve been checking out the secureblue project recently, and it’s actually pretty interesting.
I’ll admit, online privacy feels like a straight-up meme in today’s world of surveillance capitalism, but secureblue is pushing out some genuinely unique projects that are absolutely worth looking into.
From what I can tell, secureblue feels a lot like the desktop version of GrapheneOS, taking that same security-focused foundation and bringing it into the Linux desktop space in a meaningful way.
