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.

At #kamizdat we are releasing a new digital EP on thursday with a party at this crazy renovated venue in the middle of city park called Švicarija (swiss/sweat in transl.)

Spanish police are raising questions about #Bitcoin ATMs, which they say are currently not covered by the #EuropeanUnion’s anti-#moneylaundering regulations.

@Vortax @kravietz Also worth noting: an increasing number of people on YouTube and Twitch are using Patreon to earn money, which does not give power to Google. Even better would be free alternatives https://switching.social/ethical-alternatives-to-patreon/

@Vortax @kravietz I see creators I like on YouTube and Twitch increasingly switching to Patreon, so it's working for some people.

@kravietz

Yes, it is working for some people, but I wonder if the current patreon system can sustain so much creators if YouTube stop paying money.

I personally think that system would get saturated and would collapse, substantislly reducing the number of creators available.

I'm not defending YouTube (I HATE YouTube and all it represents), I'm just playing Devil's advocate here..

@kravietz @Vortax Peertube is acquiring good content because people are uploading it. I encourage everyone to join in!

@Vortax
Stop paying with your data then. That's the point of #peertube.

It seems like it's worthless now, but if you back up these videos on a peertube instance, you're creating the content and the audience for a wider shift to an Internet where youtube does not get to decide whether you are visible or not.

@kravietz
Totally true. Unfortunately, till today, there is simply no alternative to YouTube. Not Vimeo, not peertube, nothing. So, having content banned from YouTube is a great loss, and we should make them know when they do something we don't like.

Datahoarders made a fucking great move backuping all this content. We need alternatives to YouTube, but until then, I think we should have right to protest when YouTube makes a dick move like this.

@kot @kravietz @jj yep mullvad FTW
I use to send envelopes with cash to their address. Truly anonymous payments 😁 they've never not activated my profile. Also their reputation is great and they take lengths to defend their own opsec and computer integrity. I like them a lot.

@kravietz @jj @kot Likewise. I've never used NordVPN, either. Since a user would likely give their app a lot of privileges and access to interfaces, I can see how they could try that. That's why I keep an always-visible data I/O monitor on my task bar or status bar. If it's active for no good reason, I want to know why. And thanks for the heads up about Nord and Proton. Mullvad FTW, I guess.
