PRivacy Coffee PRague #1 · Luma
A meeting for (digital) privacy aware people who would love to discover some common topics, exchange ideas and approaches and maybe have some drinks…

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.

#Privacy (or lack thereof): #Lyft has added a setting in the app that allows them to monetise your data for targeted ads. It is *on* by default and has to be turned off manually.

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

#wisdom #quotes #privacy

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.

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?

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.

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…

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.

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.

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...

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.
