My issue with 4b is we know it doesn’t work.
What’s the one thing that we know helps people stop being bigoted? Exposure to the people they’re bigoted against. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2705986/
The 4b movement is like saying “the solution to racism is segregation”
On an interpersonal level, women absolutely should be wary of every man they come across, but that doesn’t mean a more extreme version of that works as a cultural movement.
No, it isn’t.
That analogy would only work if the person who wanted to live on the farm just made the other person come with them. Breaking up and going their own separate ways is not at all analagous to rape.
Fascism doesn’t just mean being a piece of shot, it has an actual definition.

Your phone is not listening to you. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-49585682
Listening to conversations and turning that into interests that can be advertised against is by far the least efficient method they could use. You can get just as good data through normal tracking.
This is just an example of a frequency illusion where you notice stuff because you’re looking for it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion

Otherwise I’d just use something like simplelogin and just have it automatically generate one. Then just save it in your password manager.
Honestly, they just shouldn’t have added support. GNOMEs been causing problems for basically everyone else for a long time. If they want to do their own thing, that’s fine, but we shouldn’t but everyone else shouldn’t have to do extra work to accommodate them.
6·26 days agoEh, there’s a completely independent reimplementation of the server, so I’d be surprised if the same doesn’t happen for the apps if there’s a real issue that comes up
People learn about different things at different times. If we care about promoting privacy we should be accomodating and not hostile about that.
In addition to everythong everyone has said, one major thing that people often don’t think about privacy is how it relates to enshittification.
Modern software services try to optimize everything to make as much money as possible. Everything is a/b tested, and whatever increases some arbitrary metric is what gets released.
They do this by tracking a ton of metrics about how you interact with everything. I know where I work we collect data about every time you click on anything, how long you hover over buttons, etc.
The only other (not absolutely tiny) one I’m aware of is brave, but it has its own issues
If you self host bitwarden/vaultwarden, each client stores an encrypted copy of the database, so even if your server was completely destroyed, you’d still have access to all the accounts you’re saving in it.
