Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn't use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.

Hi all, I'm looking into ways to protect my privacy while using WhatsApp, particularly in a professional setting where separating personal and work-related communications is crucial. I'm thinking of buying a dual SIM phone and am considering strategies to sandbox my personal contacts, pictures, and media from those associated with my work profile on WhatsApp.

Has anyone successfully done this using two SIM cards on the same device? I'm staunchly anti-Facebook and its obtrusive privacy-related practices, so ideally I want to prevent cross-contamination of personal and work-related data, including contacts, photos, and media shared through the app. Will this be a good strategy? Are there any known risks or precautions I should take to minimize the risk of my data being shared or accessed by third parties? - Thanks all, I'd appreciate any comments.

I'm sure there's no problem here for the company.

Step one: Overinflate the assets of the bail bond company.

Step two: Claim the assets of the company and get loans based on those inflated values.

Step three: If found to be fraudulent in said valuation, take it to court.

Step four: Go back to step one.

"it’s not known whether the leak came from within the company or one of its vendors."

Isn't it time that big tech companies and their sale of private data get regulated? I see a giant class-action lawsuit in the making here.

The Mozilla Foundation found that in late 2023, 92 percent of the automakers reviewed provided drivers with little to no control over their personal data. Additionally, 84 percent shared user data with third parties.

Why isn't there more consumer outrage over this? And why haven't lawmakers addressed this on a national level, given the potential dangers posed by this data collection?

Not really a win for the casual web user - What Google will stop doing is selling web ads targeted to individual users’ browsing habits, and its Chrome browser will no longer allow cookies that collect that data for the means of selling to third party advertisers.

Meanwhile, Google will still track and target users on mobile devices, and it will still target ads to users based on their behavior on its own platforms, which make up the majority of its revenue and won’t be affected by the change.

Ad companies that rely on cookies will simply have to find another way to target users.

Oh yes the Chinese Communist Party, the cake and eat it too party, where it somehow is able to access global markets and benefit from international trade rules, freely able to meddle in international affairs while embellishing its own interests.

It's mind blowing how the desperation of late stage capitalism allows the CCP to operate within these frameworks.

Firefox is among the most secure mainstream browsers. Still, there are some loose ends. I recently stumbled upon this post that features Firefox privacy recommendations and tweaks to strengthen Mozilla browser security.

"President Ferdinand Marcos Jr strongly condemned the shooting"

It blows my mind that this corrupt family is still in power.

Seems a bit rich after their last supreme leader is facing 91 felony charges across 4 criminal indictments.

Threats of violence, sounds like a Jordan MOB call. Guess Jimmy hasn’t changed his attitude much since helping to orchestrate January 6th for Trump, voting against election results, defending Trump during his impeachment, opposing Trumps investigations, voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act, backing Trumps ridiculous Mexican border wall, backing Trump's efforts to roll back regulations on environmental regulations, financial regulations, and labor regulations... etc etc etc

There are plenty of third party apps for Lemmy on Android/iPhone or Web, but are there any decent apps built for desktop use? Is it just simply a matter of relying on a web interface currently, or are there any well rounded apps out there that are worth mentioning.
