Audacity sniffing my local private stuff, NOPE. Tenacity instead thanks

Thank you, this is the kind of detail I was hoping someone would describe, no sarcasm. To be specific, too, this is all probably easier on Androids / jailbroken iPhones

But again, what I’m getting at here is, are we so sure it takes all that much anymore. Processing could take place in a shorter way now, more than it could when our current opinion was still true.

I don’t doubt you, but it’s worth asking if your reasons for stating that our phones don’t listen to us 24/7 haven’t changed since you first formed the opinion.

Lots of things are meso-facts (a true fact at rhetorical time we learn it, but no longer true later). Tech moves quickly. It’s worth not assuming anyone is right here, & asking: under what conditions could our phones be listening (enough to produce what OP experienced)?

Stores will never respect your privacy or data, so you have no obligation to respect a corporation’s expectation of truth.

Just have memorized fake data ready for bullshit like this, say it when asked. Then the retail person who cares even less than you about it (but is forced to pretend they do, in order to survive) can get to their break faster. Win win

…… the BACK DOOR haaaa 🤪

Me-Butt-U (Ubuntu) … ok , I’ll show myself out

I reacted accurately. Mozilla blog today: “ Improving online advertising through product and infrastructure” 🤑

Every platform Every time

“Seem” : had been, were previously. Now, Mozilla’s values seem no longer reliably aligned with privacy and user control

These all sound like good strategies! I’ve found in my experience that platforms sniff out temp / fake emails and phone numbers. I’m sure it can be done , but it isn’t always as easy as a list you just go through. But even so, thank you for the info 👍🙏

Someone bought ALL the thrift store DVDs in all my small city’s thrift stores, like four of them. People are starting to know that self-ownership is where everyone is going

Oh! Thanks , I knew someone had the time to read it; with a headline like that I wasn’t’nna be arsed

I mean, yeah, vaporizing anything means it turns to nothing but gas?

Private jets . They’ve all got multiple front yards & none of us can afford pitchforks But small aeroplanes, those are weak. & these parasites just looove em

Sorry idk specifically how to avoid the update, but the linked ArsTechnica article has some advice

Someone here advised & I’d agree: use a Windows VM, for things you haven’t found the Linux version of yet.

Windows’s plan to screenshot everything will include your private artistic work too, so you’ll be doing yourself a favor

What pushed me over the edge: the threat of Windows screenshotting everything I did.

Absolutely fucking not. Took it all to Ubuntu the day after I heard. Couple days later everything I need was set up & a few months later I haven’t looked back

Seconded, why not OnlyOffice? (maybe parent commenter got names confused 🤷‍♂️ no judgement)

as for OpenOffice vs Libre Office— IIRC Libre has more recent development on it, which IMHO feels like a good sign for open source software; it’s kept more up to date
