youtube? how?

Sigh, no you don’t need a fucking AI app to do that.

AI could just be used as a buzzword, so that the movement becomes more popular

The executives will get a bonus this year.

well of course! they just saved a lot of money on wages, they deserve it!

yes it has, when a law not only just does not have good purpose, but even malicious, but even when the added safety is not outweighed by the bad things it does

GPS in itself does not do anything, as it does not send, only receive. but even for mobile data, on your phone you have the choice to turn on airplane mode to disable communications. on your car, there’s nothing like it.

also, arguably iphones are more private than any internet connected car.

GPS works by measuring timestamps in incoming signals. that’s it. it is oneway.

indeed, you said this:

The fact that it was legally mandated is good evidence that it is.

but their point was laws are not always made with good intentions and safety in mind. that’s not to say TPMS is required for secret surveillance, but that there being a law for it does not immediately mean there’s good purpose for that law.

most fediverse software does not collect precise geolocation though, which is why this point was brought up

A bit cringe on the “we’re white collar thugs and we will bully you until you do as we say”,

but isn’t it 100% true?

agree

Also dont be pedantic you fuck, a date field is just a fuckton of checkboxes that is easier to use.

where did I say a date field is hard to use? or how is this relevant?

unless another federated instances synced them

I don’t think the homeserver tries to fetch media remotely that was local but since deleted

we often talk about how discord is a black hole of information, but this is worse than that

how long did it take to write this all down?

switch routing? what is that? and what solution do you use for packet inspection?

Eh, if it’s an open-source application where you can review the code to confirm that the software isn’t tracking you, then it’s not an issue.

you can’t review what’s running on the actual server, what did your local admin add to it.

you could use a VPN though. protonvpn has measures to work around network restrictions, or set up a wireguard at home, and if they would block it, tell them you need it for work. your own notes related to the trade and your task planning tool stored on your homeserver, or something like that.

but this assumes you work in tech

Teams in browser is the only way that I use it either, and it isn’t “broken” like it used to be, but you need to use a Chromium based browser.

so, it’s broken. Either buggy, or just straight up not follow common web standards

firefox or a fork of it, but I would be surprised if teams could read wifi info even in chrome. this is about when you install it as a desktop app, so that it can collect more data and consume more memory than it would otherwise.

if all goes to plan this would provide them more access to patches and other info

Windows has Limited User account, Family Safety in the control panel, and a advanced Firewall. 3rd party Net Nanny was\is a net filtering\alerting software that had visiting-server-side support in case the kid knew how to onion route or obfuscate a url or ip.

limited, as in, not an administrator? that does not help much with limiting a kids computer use.

family safety only works for the microsoft edge browser, which is not at all private. and it seems it requires a microsoft account, and accepting its shitty terms of service and privacy policy.

netnanny seems to require a microsoft account too.

Androids can install firewall software like PersonalDNSFilter, AdGuardDNS, or RethinkDNS (the premium version creates for you a custom dns server – no software needed.

and they can’t be just disabled by the user of the device, right?

these and pihole… are useful but not for this. even if they can’t disable the system VPN app, the kid just enables secure DNS in either firefox or chrome, and bam! its worked around.

like the possibility to completely disable the data lines in the USB port

the fairphone 4 can do that, calyxos makes use of it
