Proton explains how Google Photos' Locked Folder hides images locally but doesn't provide end-to-end encryption — backups can expose photos to Google. A safer alternative: end-to-end encrypted Proton Drive. Read more: https://proton.me/blog/locked-folder-google-photos 🔒⚠️☁️🛡️ #GooglePhotos #Privacy #ProtonDrive

Le Monde's research showed ad data from smartphone SDKs. #DataBrokers can expose identities and daily movements of police, military, and intelligence personnel… sold by data brokers from everyday apps. If those people can get exposed, everyone can. Mitigation below! Read: https://proton.me/blog/ad-tech-privacy #Privacy #DataBrokers 🛰️📱#Security #Surveillance #MassSurveillance

#tldr "…What can you do about it?
There’s no way to stop all kinds of tracking, but you can take the following actions to reduce the granularity of the datasets collected:

Turn off location services(new window) when not in use and deny apps location permissions.
Use a VPN(new window) to hide your real IP address. DNS filtering features such as Proton VPN’s NetShield Ad-blocker(new window) can also help bock ad and tracker scripts.
Delete your advertising ID on Android (Settings → Google → All services → Ads → Privacy and security → Ads → Delete advertising ID). iPhones don’t provide this option."

Use GrapheneOS without Google

In practice it’s time to dust off #Mozilla based browsers folks. Just to cut off #Google from deciding which ads or trackers we must load/see and which we can opt-off.

Yep, new #Chrome is introducing shift of control to #Google (browser) over what you will see on visited pages :/

Research of a very small sample of parents suggests ~70% of children still have access to social media.

Yet, at 67 years of age, I have to submit verifiable photographic ID to a Palantir subsidiary to subscribe to Substack.

The people in charge of these initiatives are morons, and dangerously so.

Семь браузерных инструментов без сервера: WASM, WebGPU, шифрование на клиенте

Запись в Notion - и текст на чужом сервере. Задачи в облачном планировщике - данные в чужой аналитике. Волна локальных LLM показала широкой аудитории, что on-device - это реально. Модель работает, данные не покидают машину. RAG в indexeddb - кто так не делал? Тот же сдвиг происходит с обычными инструментами. Всё заметнее, что ежемесячная подписка - это аренда софта, которым не владеешь и который нельзя отключить от сети. Я доделал свои 7 pet-проектов. Все работают целиком в браузере, без сервера, без регистрации, без отправки данных куда-либо. Только локальное хранилище, шифрование на стороне клиента и нативные браузерные API. Что же это за проекты
