Sorry to post my shitty neofetch to this community
Google "Only spy the web" is highly inaccurate...they are everywhere. In every website, in your android phone, in your YouTube, in your Google drive, in your email, in your Google maps...
Anyways... I will calm down now. :)
In your car, your TV, your network, your dns.....
Everywhere.
They are even part of paying for the massive underwater cables between continents that all internet traffic runs through.
They took everything over.
It's the most extensive surveillance network in the world.
It's cute, people think their android os isn't collecting an embarrassing amount of data. Even if you turn everything off but cellular, it still phones home with cellular tower triangulation, app usage, call history, general web activity, weather the phone thinks your walking driving or riding a Bike, device diagnostics, etc.
some people think switching to the brave browser will solve the whole spying problem
"Lol nobody can spy me, I put tape on the camera". Quote from my mother...
I wish my only privacy concern was stolen nudes. Ignorance can be bliss.
I have started to hate Brave with how much of their BS that they have added in the browser. Things like VPN, Rewards , Wallet, News and more. Heck, Chrome now seems better to me bcoz of all these ~~features~~ (bloat) they have managed to add. Same with Edge.
Both Android and ChromeOS are Linux, and Google's spying there...
We should all be thankful that ChromeOS is flaming hot garbage that no one should be using on UX alone.
Stalking. Spying sounds like a kids game or movie. This isn't observing. This isn't passive. It is actively exploiting. It is predatory, targeted, manipulative, with intent. It is stalking.
Apple fanboys will lose their shit if they see this meme. I sometimes dont understand these fanboys like apple doesn't pay them nor does they credit these idiots for word of mouth free marketing instead these idiots pay top $ to buy their product and act like them invented it. Stupid mofos!!
yeah i will never understand company fanboys they cheer for people that fuck them over it's like putting your hand in acid and saying it's good for you
Microsoft: Gets slapped with antitrust lawsuits for including Internet Exploder with Windows.
Microsoft: Hold my beer.
I think it is funny that this community thinks it knows everything about privacy and security and every time I see a post like this it becomes apparent that the main of this community doesn't.
I like the Fediverse but it is a security and privacy nightmare.
It would be, if users were convinced it is anything other than a public place.
If you're forced to use Windows for some things, use Windows 10 LTSC. If you can't buy it (because Microsoft refuses to let consumers buy a non-spyware version of their OS) then sail the high seas for it. It takes the telemetry out and you'll have full control over the OS, can more easily remove Edge and can set your group policy and other stuff to completely block telemetry to your taste.
Facebook: you guys hide it?
Google: Laughing in Android.
Google: Laughing in Chrome, scanning your entire file system
Google: Laughing in bloody web DRM
All you can really do is make the spying as difficult as possible. That's really all we can do 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
somebody never reads the logs
the reason they put so many cameras on phones is not for selfies
I always love that scene in Batman where he's hacked everyone's phone to see all their cameras.
It looks like everyone in the world is standing around everywhere pointing their phone cameras in the most convenient directions to give a great view of streets, rooms and hallways everywhere.
In real life, if you tuned into people's cameras right now, fifty percent would be the inside of pockets, purses or clothing. A quarter would be pointed at blank walls, ceilings, floors or the sky. And the rest would be terribly close close-ups of people faces or the shower/bathroom/sink.
If I remember correctly, it wasn't the cameras, it was the microphones. It was able to recreate 3d scenes with some kind of sonar algorithm (probably by combining the microphones from multiple people in the same room?) (I actually really liked Batman using sonar). 3d images from microphones still sounds farfetched but, may actually be possible soon
