Nel giro di due giorni ho scoperto che:

➡️ ha inserito in un' estensione nascosta che le dà accesso alle caratteristiche del PC dell'utente

➡️ La stessa ha annunciato che smetterà di essere carbon neutral a causa dei consumi legati all'AI

➡️ ha accettato di rimuovere dallo store russo le app VPN, su richiesta delle autorità russe

Complimenti vivissimi alle big tech!

Just transferred to a new handle, so it’s probably time to do a re-introduction.

👋 Hi, I’m Andrew and I’m a huge , a geek, and between you and me, I can be a bit of a weirdo sometimes.

I tend to post about and plus my own tech finds, , whatever music, show, or hobby I’m currently hyperfixating on, and random shenanigans from my own life, or anything else I find interesting.

Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Did you know that (yes, the collection of screensavers for X11) is available on Android?

And that requires it to have a privacy policy in order to be available in the Play Store?

And that the maintainer chose to crowd-source a privacy policy where every item starts with "Unlike Google"?

It's become a great list of all the privacy violations Google did and still does. And I thought that it's gonna be long, but it's even longer than I imagined.

Massive leak at confirms what we have all known for years, just how much is tracked, stored, and monetized.

Even clearer now how Chrome tracks and reports EVERYTHING you do. For heavens' sake delete it now and move to Firefox

Also they've outright lied for years about their data collection and search practices.

Looks like 'Don't be evil' wasn't enough. ;)

Qualcosa di scontato: se la può obbligare un'azienda statunitense a darle i dati che mette su server europei, la di tutti i docenti e gli studenti le cui si fanno usare da o è inesistente, e gli amministratori che cinguettano "ma i server sono in Europa, ma abbiamo un contratto blindatissimo..." semplicemente mentono: https://blog.quintarelli.it/2024/05/american-data-spies-will-never-care-where-the-servers-are/
