Indeed, it is very useful. Over the years I transferred files around, copy and pasted from one distro to another and ended up with plenty of duplicates i didn't even realized.

It helped me not manually search for them all.

True. It is a trust thing. Thats why I don't trust telegram for privacy. But I use it to follow groups

It deletes duplicate files on your computer

Look up the rest yourself. Google hides most of the news about it. So they are useless to search it up

It's the people who posted it fault. You think that one human can read everyone's messages lol? They would need to spy on everyone and have millions of employees specifically looking for illegal activity.

People are so righteous but have done nothing to ensure that the Epstein files were revealed.

Yeah censorship is rising but it's not at 100% this is what is being spoken on

In business I am cut throat and I see this as an opportunity to migrate a huge percentage of googles (app store) customers to F-Droid.

In order for this to be possible F-Droid is going to have to spend the next 2 years campaigning against google as a more liberating alternative; which it already is. If the customers aren't all at the heels of google they should care and shift over. Android was not created by and is not a google product,, so they can't truly enforce the developer or side loading thing if a good percentage of the market gets an alternate non google android.

If I were F-Droid creating my own spin of android (basically stock with F-Droid bulit in) would be my main objective currently

They aren't encrypted, hence why I never said they were. This is something your cooked mind imagined so you can argue with yourself.

Private Groups: Only members can see messages. Admins cannot view messages unless they are part of the conversation.

This means if "Crimegroup" has shady stuff in the group if no member snitched it wouldn't be known for them to even delete it. While telegram (the company or workers) could look right in they would need to know it's an illegal group first because luckily they aren't spying on everyone by default

It is certainly a lack of security. I wanted to emphasize how it's also a problem for privacy. People in the thread are now having an imaginary argument about anonymity, even though this has never been something I've been confused about. However, it is something that one of the users pulled up, and now they all are harping on it over and over.

Since my phone number is one of my personal belongings, although abstract, if I hide it from you, it is private. If I reveal it to you, it is not. Since it is associated with me, revealing it to you lowers my privacy, as it is one more thing revealed that belongs to me.

These fools can't even comprehend this, literally.

Do you have any technological understanding of AI or are you just a layman? Do you read white papers, are you familiar with alignment, quantitization, parameters, RLHF? Have you ever used a local LLM and had it argue with you refusing your request? Or are you just some simplified shell of a human who thinks this is purely a capitalist endeavor, while simultaneously not even understanding how it works at all?

He was arrested because he didn't stop people from having freedom of speech. He wasn't and hasn't been found guilty of anything.

[-] lunatique@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 hours ago

He is not responsible for the user uploads. Telegram deletes illegal activity. If it's a private group they don't know what's happening. CSAM has been on YouTube and they do little about it. But your masters didn't tell you to hate Google yet.

I'm turning 41, but I don't feel like celebrating.

Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.

What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.

Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).

Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.

A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast - while we're asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms -and allowed them to be taken away.

We've been fed a lie.

We've been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.

By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we've set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction - moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.

So no, I'm not going to celebrate today. I'm running out of time. We are running out of time.

This is from a few years back but I always find a chance to show everyone that google is a sus company. I decided to post this after reading and doing research on a separate yet somewhat related topic on how when you do CAPTCHA online you are usually training A.I. now and days.

If you wanted to know why there are more CAPTCHAs than ever before. Biggest insult to injury is that certain A.I.s can solve them 70% of the time

Prevalence of Any Mental Illness (AMI)

Figure 1 shows the past year prevalence of AMI among U.S. adults.
    In 2022, there were an estimated 59.3 million adults aged 18 or older in the United States with AMI. This number represented 23.1% of all U.S. adults.
    The observed prevalence of AMI was higher among females (26.4%) than males (19.7%).
    Young adults aged 18-25 years had the highest prevalence of AMI (36.2%) compared to adults aged 26-49 years (29.4%) and aged 50 and older (13.9%).
    The prevalence of AMI was highest among the adults reporting two or more races (35.2%), followed by White adults (24.6%). The prevalence of AMI was lowest among Asian adults (16.8%).

I've been using this launcher for a few months now and it is good if you want to focus only on the use of the phone not the overuse. Text only no icons but has a compable gesture systems and simple but useful functionality.

Definitely not for everyone but some may find it perfect

The most common way that flu vaccines are made is using an egg-based manufacturing process that has been used for more than 70 years. Egg-based vaccine manufacturing is used to make both inactivated (killed) vaccine (usually called the "flu shot") and live attenuated (weakened virus) vaccine (usually called the "nasal spray flu vaccine").

The other two methods are not vegan either. The other one uses mammal cells and recombinant vaccines use animal testing in most cases.

Nowadays, a majority of apps require you to sign up with your email or even worse your phone number. If you have a phone number attached to your name, meaning you went to a cell service/phone provider, and you gave them your ID, then no matter what app you use, no matter how private it says it is, it is not private. There is NO exception to this. Your identity is instantly tied to that account.

Signal is not private. I recommend Simplex or another peer to peer onion messaging app. They don't require email or phone number. So as long as you protect your IP you are anonymous

I am a privacy supporter. I believe you get to know your information to the extent you want to know it and that others should only know what you allow them to know about your information.

Saying that, I will say that even more than the dislike I have for the companies stealing people's data, I have even more for the customer who tolerates it.

I posted to a privacy group that you need to "read the terms of services." Instead of learning and gaining a responsible mindset as a consumer. People had the nerve to get mad lol. If you don't read the terms of services that ironically in most cases tell you they are taking your data and using it for shit you wouldn't like or agree with, how can you get mad?

You wouldn't even become a victims if you read it because you would already be aware of the reality. I find that to be so ignorant of customers it almost (but doesn't) warrant the 1984 practices being used against them.

If we stopped supporting this shit it CAN'T happen. So remember If you don't demand privacy you get no privacy

Very useful. Keeps apps I don't want on the internet from ever connecting with its firewall. Torify your whole phone, runs all internet through the Tor network and at will you can change the circuit. Also has DNScrypt so that all your web searches are encrypted and can't be monitored accurately by intrusive ovservers. Blocks ads and many more features that are damn near mandatory for privacy lovers. All while being FOSS.

You can also download from F-Droid or Droidify.
