@The_ogier #capitalist EU countries were able to significantly reduce their CO2 footprint while capitalist USA wasn't; "capitalism" is a extremely broad spectrum https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-greenhouse-gas-emissions
Brave Rewards cannot on ungoogled phones I'm afraid due to heavy usage of Google proprietary SafetyNet https://github.com/brave/browser-android-tabs/issues/1865 #privacy #android

tiny thing to fight surveillance capitalism
urls often contain tracking information added to the end of them. when you are linking articles, stuff like the "utm_source" and "fbclid" sections allow people to track where you got the link from and how you are spreading it. this allows cops & corps to map out social groups.
while you can remove that stuff by hand, there's a firefox/chrome addon called "neat URL" that comes with an existing blocklist that automatically cleans off a lot of that stuff.
@hal9000 "With real-time tracking you can know once your email is read" <-- creepy
Five years ago unknown perpetrators shot a civilian airplane over Donbasd... oh, wait https://tass.com/world/741164 #mh17

tl;dr - Signal instead of email, Tarsnap instead of Duplicity, Signify instead of gpg --verify #pgp #cryptography https://latacora.micro.blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem.html
@jj at least there's no doubt he's genuinely Russian :)
@jj I don't think it's translated to English yet
Just starting to read "The history of Russian hackers" by Danil Turovsky. Kudos to labirint.ru for blazing fast delivery!

Hey-o! Just want to say if you're enjoying our Mastodon server, our Matrix chat, or anything else we're doing @ privacytools.io, I would really appreciate it if you'd consider donating any amount towards our costs 😄
We're currently spending around $60/month on servers and other infrastructure, and we'd like to be able to pay our team more in the future! We prefer https://liberapay.com/privacytools.io/ but there are many other contribution methods at https://www.privacytools.io/donate/ 😅 Thanks everyone!!

@kravietz
Thanks for sharing. Never considered this was even possible, but of course not surprised in retrospect. Gross how sneaky they've become.
(Also just finished Simon Singh's "Code Book" and impressed myself that I knew what "steganography" meant.)

@kravietz I'm so glad I go nowhere near Shitbook.
If anything is related to Google or Shitbook I have nothing to do with it.

we (people) at @CorrerEnGalicia (just an example) usually upload hundreds of pictures every weekend from local running races. Even if you don't have a FB account is disgusting and annoying being tracked and targeted.
thanks for sharing.
All these hardening features are why I love #systemd https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html #linux #security
Facebook is embedding tracking data inside the photos you download https://techstartups.com/2019/07/13/facebook-embedding-tracking-data-inside-photos-download/ #privacy #facebook
@Vortax @andybalaam BTW Twitch is Amazon so all stays in the GAFA family :)
@Vortax @andybalaam that's why I earlier said it depends on your objectives. Pay per views, ads, referrals - sure go for YT, Twitch. But plenty of people post content for knowledge sharing, community, self-promo etc - for those Peertube does the job and doesn't impose arbitrary rules like "no hacking videos"
@luka Ljubljana is a beautiful town!
