"...collected via Android Auto..."
@… I've love to get your take if running Android Auto on GrapheneOS protects us from this data gathering?

Figured out a cheap trick to blur a smartphone's camera:
1. Cut a piece of transparent adhesive tape.
2. Sandpaper it.
3. Attach on top of the camera.
Wanted to blur instead of covering the camera, because the phone interprets full cover as darkness and dims the screen.

the best thing about our ring camera is the battery is dead 95% of the time.

Confronting the Challenges of Sensitive Open Data
When governments collect sensitive data about private individuals, personal privacy and governmental transparency come into conflict. How should we resolve this tension?

Saying that you don't need #privacy if you have nothing to hide is like saying you shouldn't run when you have done nothing wrong and an armed thug starts chasing you.

In case you had any illusions that Zuckerberg and his Facebook/Meta/Instagram/Threads/WhatsApp empire wasn’t evil, this should take care of it.
“The New York Times reported that Meta is considering adding face recognition technology to its smart glasses. According to an internal Meta document, the company may launch the product “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.””

Weekend project: set up an IP cam server with Frigate on a Raspberry Pi I had lying around at my parents' house.
I'm worried about those old bastards, but I'm also worried that the stream from those cameras will end up on some hidden Internet forums.
I'm not interested in using the "cloud services" so kindly offered to me by big companies.

TikTok Is Now Collecting Even More Data About Its Users. Here Are the 3 Biggest Changes
According to its new privacy policy, TikTok now collects more data on its users, including their precise location, after majority ownership officially switched to a group based in the US.

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.

If you really care about Privacy, don't use the Internet.

You know our future is definitely a dystopian surveillance nightmare when the government acts like you're a criminal for wanting a level of privacy that was considered normal just 10 years ago.
