PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.

If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it'll look like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:

  1. Go to your device Settings
  2. Press on "Google"
  3. Press on "Ads"
    • While you're here, press on the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it


  4. Press on "Ad Privacy"
  5. Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure they are all labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot.)

If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.

EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.

#Android #Google #Privacy #AdTopics


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.

🤔


Coming to Mastodon *private* messaging in 3-2-1...?

Perhaps #EuropeanUnion could give a little hand to @Gargron and help protect everyone's #privacy where privacy hasn't yet been criminalized?


Looking forward to seeing the #Nextcloud conference videos, and thus the launch video, released at the same time on #Peertube at https://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?


Yes, you can ditch #GoogleMaps now..

https://organicmaps.app

#OrganicMaps is here. Use it while offline and feel good about a #privacy-respecting app that doesn't suck you dry of your personal information. Based on #OpenStreetMap this app is gonna blow #Google #Maps out of the water (hopefully ;)


Checked the privacy pratices first, before dealing with partners... otherwise you will become like Firefox and Brave, both going in a wrong direction, related to partnerships.

Collecting telemetry data on a private device is never privacy friendly and especially not when a company like IBM is behind it. The possibilities simply arouse too many desires.

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".

Also I think it should be respecting and accepting one's #privacy and be an #OptIn solution that is completely #OnPremise / within one's own IT.

After all, this is why I like and use #Nextcloud and @collabora's @CollaboraOffice #CollaboraOffice and all the other parts of my #TechStack:

I want every single component to be accountable to me down to every bit, and only #FLOSS allows me to have independent audits if need be.
