  • Well, as the Japanese say, even a dog (SanDisk) will eventually come across the stick* (malfunction) if it goes out for a walk (normal use).

    *here, "punishment", "calamity" or simply "something bad"

  • True. At least when they go off brand instead of SanDisk.

    Interesting though, that it goes on to check for a filesystem after(?) it has detected no device with that UUID.

  • Where to start piracy

    Regarding Mullvad, which I am using, and this will be more relevant once you've familiarized yourself with the basics and if you choose to use torrents: since they don't have port forwarding (making your torrenting application reachable from the internet), you will only ever be a so called passive seeder. If you, down the road, would want to contribute as much as possible, go for a VPN that supports port forwarding. But don't focus on this for now. Bookmark it, or something.

  • Back then, have you ever pirated movie rentals onto DVD / VCD or ripped them?

    Jump

  • No, but I did brag to my friends by sending them a picture of some movie that I was watching at the movie theatre. The picture, I took with my foldable phone's VGA camera. Good shit. 🤘

  • Why?

  • Nothing could compel me to sign up for shit like this 🤣

    On a serious note, I just recently made some progress in my C skills, which inspired me to for the first time search for "how to make a GUI". No. Just, no. 😵‍💫 I'm glad there's backend and frontend, and those that do fullstack are not of this world. 🥹

  • The inappropriate jokes that filled my head as I read the title of this post are innumerable.

    Also, f*ck Meta.

    Edit: is setting up a separate work phone/clients only phone and a private life only phone on the table? :)

  • Share your experience on fighting* for privacy and what obstacles - if any - have recently been put in place by your government to make resistance difficult?

    Jump

  • Thank you so much for your contribution!!!

    A few considerationsEdit: I'd do some disambiguation on the title, because "degoogling" is in itself not a commonly known word. Perhaps changing it to "online hygiene", "digital privacy" or the likes and then defining a part of it as moving away from Big Tech, which in certain communities is referred to as "degoogling", Google being one of the biggest of these Big Tech.

    My goal here is to help initiate the start of a longer journey into getting some (data) freedoms back.I'd replace "(data)" with "(digital)".

    I know many rely on GitHub, GitLab, GiteaYou could slap Codeberg on there as well.

    Email - [...]You could add that some providers - be it Big Tech or not - offer functions to export and/or to import whole mailboxes, which makes it easier to switch providers.

    Proton and Nord offer E2EE cloud storage (end-2-end-encryption)I'd type out "end to end encryption" within the parantheses.

    Cloud Storage – [...]I'd also add a sentence to urge users check the cloud provider's terms of service in order to find out if they only encrypt files in transit (upload/download), which is when E2EE is used, or only encrypt the files at rest (after upload), or both.

  • Thank you very much for backing me, for your efforts and for putting all that so eloquently! I completely agree! Which isn't to say that we don't need forums where we share and teach each other the practical implementation of digital privacy, but this fight needs to be fought on both fronts.

    Again, just to have it said out loud, I'm not trying to go behind the mods' back or talk badly about them! I appreciate them taking on moderation of this extremely important community on their free time, and that, too, shouldn't be diminished.

  • Where you the one posting about smacking people in the face for wearing smart glasses the other day? In any case, I am glad you are still with us! I too have an extremely dystopian point of view on the future. While I do have anxiety over the fact that my life someday has to end, I am at the same time overjoyed that I was born in the late 80's, not having to put up with all the bullshit, the enshittification, the fall and decay of humanity and the complete and utter abandonment of what pride is still left in us.

  • Let me get back to you after I have had a good half of Earth's rotation. 🌍

  • How can i write safely on a device without there being a possibility of what i write getting taken out and viewed in other ways other than from that device?

    Jump

  • I don't know what tools you would use for this on MacOS, but you could use some firewall implementation to block internet access for user and system apps that your are concerned about. If suspect that unwanted connections are being made to specific hosts (IP addresses or URLs) and you know them, you could block access to those specific hosts with a hosts file or, again, with your firewall.

    To summarize the above:

    1. read up on firewalls for MacOS
    2. read up on hosts files/DNS based blocking for MacOS

    You could also simply disconnect from the internet while typing, then saving and encrypting the saved file, deleting the plain text file and only then reconnecting to the internet.

    Lastly, don't put effort into pursuing privacy blindly. Formulate your threat model. What do you need to protect? What do you want to protect? From whom? Why? Without this, you'll burn yourself out.

  • Well put! In my original post, I tried to draw from Hannah Arendt's Banality of Evil , in which she discusses how the totalitarian Nazi state at the time came to be out of the inactions of people, among other things. I also tried to further exemplify it with the poem First They Came, and finally I tried to connect the dots with how the same process is ongoing as we speak but in regards to digital privacy.

  • Sweet! Whenever you feel ready, please do share! At my workplace, I am kind of known as "the tech guy", but unfortunately not in a privacy oriented way... Only, "can you please set up my phone? I wanna Tiktok🥹🥹🥹"...

  • For some reason, every time I even mention the word "privacy" or "online integrity" or the likes, I get the retort "what do you have to hide? 😏😏😏😏😏" Shifting the conversation from "having something to hide" to privacy being a fundamental building block of democracy is what I try to put effort into. But it ain't easy. 😮‍💨 I have never said "ain't" in my LIFE before this. 😂
