So Paypal support is live, but still no support for Peertube.

Good job, Nextcloud.

Showing those FOSS, decentralization, privacy values yet again with your choice of video hosting.

This metaphor in which Neo accepts the cookie "in return" of Oracle's information is simply gorgeous.

Me checks to see if @nextcloud 's videos are finally being boosted onto an open video network after years of pointing out the hypocrisy... aaaaaand nope.

I'll pass. I don't feel like being extra surveilled today by Google, thanks.

If you are looking to move away from cloud storage and keep your files on your own Linux server for enhanced privacy, here are some self-hosted file storage solutions to consider 😎👇

Love how you're making the videos available on a decentralized, community-run platform like Peertube, in alignment with your stated values!

Even better is how you've continued to engage with the community on this issue rather than just ignoring it and funneling users onto centralized surveillance platforms like YouTube! Way to go!

...Right?

+1 reason why you must stop using Chrome and, if possible, Chromium browsers

(Upd: link to a post in Fediverse with tech details fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/…)

(Upd 2: MS Edge seems to have this issue; #Vivaldi also has it but it can be disabled; Ungoogled Chromium doesn't have it at all)

#Privacy #Tech #Technology #Browser #Chrome #Chromium #Firefox #Google #BigTech


It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage

You can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },
(response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
},
);

When will Nextcloud's release announcements #RegainControl of where their videos are hosted?

So far you've chosen to keep them silo'd off on a #proprietary, #centralized, non #privacy friendly #surveillance platform, ie #Google's #YouTube.

Is this what #Nextcloud / #NextcloudHub stands for?

So far, the repeated silence on this subject has spoken louder than any release announcement.


The next beta version of #Signal will be version 7.0.0.
There's a good reason for the round number. This will be the first version where usernames and phone number privacy are available outside of the staging environment.
From this version on, you'll be able to talk to people on Signal without revealing your phone number, and also, you may use Signal without revealing to people who have your number saved that you do.
This is huge.

"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."

What the hell?? This is so creepy.

Check these eye-opening “privacy audits” for many existing products, by the Mozilla foundation:

I feel like people are just giving up on their privacy these days… but we don’t have to! We should choose products that respect our privacy and support laws that protect it!

At the #NextcloudConference Austrian lawyer and privacy activist @maxschrems gave an inspiring keynote about taking on Big Tech in the courts - and winning. Twice! Listen to the harrowing tale of European courts, politicians playing games and lobbying to sell out European citizens' data. And what comes next! #privacy #lobbying #BigTech

The wave of new AI tools comes with a ton of new #privacy concerns.

A new website where you can upload a photo to identify people shows it’s not limited to those who use AI themselves. And it shows why you should avoid giving your data to random companies.

Do these developments worry you? They worry us..

Our lab has been applying visualization to domain areas like #accessibility #UAVs #Genetics #Privacy #Pedagogy #Networks #GraphTheory

Say hi!


The latest update for @privacybadger stops more Google link mangling.

So Nextcloud believes:
"#Privacy is a fundamental human right" Only posts videos to #Google's #YouTube.

"building #decentralized alternatives" Only posts videos to a centralized platform.

"We believe in open source" only post Videos to a proprietary platform.

"We value sustainability". Only posts videos to the platform using the most energy.

"users time is important", Only posts to a platform with forced ads.

"fostering diversity/community." Avoids community video networks eg #Peertube.

🤔


Looking forward to seeing the #Nextcloud conference videos, and thus the launch video, released at the same time on #Peertube at conf.tube !

Given it costs you nothing and you're all about #FOSS #privacy focused #decentralization, you *will* be putting the videos up on Peertube, right?

...right?
