It’s a bit ironic that on the forum the poster did not remove the tracking parameters from the google drive link

I don’t understand. isn’t this the thing that would help get rid of surveillance based personalized ads?

you don’t have to be imprisoned to have your life ruined. there are many relatively subtle ways to do that

I see. wouldn’t the default disabled social blocking lists block that too?

another way is to have libredirect redirect the embeds to nitter. some instances still work

You need to know what instance your friend is on.

of course you need. your friends need to tell you. only they can know. just like with email and IRL cities

it’s quite cheap, per user, to run lemmy, e.g. lemm.ee is one of the bigger instances and costs 200 Euro a month,

storage requirements will only increase (attachments, linked website images), unless you are regularly deleting content and so contributing to link rot

but that’s what exactly embeds do. forcing you to interact with the site

then you can join twitter and reddit as well

If I didn’t want people to have access to them I wouldn’t be posting on the first place.

there’s the catch: it’s for people. not robots, not billionaires

the service normally does not require registration or login, neither any kind of payment, and they don’t run ads.
however, their public instance, meet.jit.si, got restricted a year or so ago because apparently bad people were using it for bad reasons. now a single participant is required to log in with a google account or something else they offer.

there were also many public instances. but soon a lot of them closed too, and the public lists have disappeared, so I believe jitsi did not do what they did out of data hunger.
there’s still a few that doesn’t require any kind of account, if you’re interested I can send a link in PM. It’s better if you don’t publish it either.

oh and if it tells anything. if you have heard about matrix.org, they were using jitsi for calls for a long time. they have switched to an in-house solution to have better platform integration, but it was fine

I love the or in this sentence

here’s my newest invention, zero knowledge location privacy without snarks.

app on phone periodically checks location. if home is near, it triggers home related actions instead of uploading the location to anywhere.

now, where is the nearest patent office? /s

did you try jitsi?

And I wondered who in their right mind would buy just half of that best friends forever charm.

anyone who would like to joke with their depression. I can imagine doing that.

now I actually want something like this

don’t forget that the new outlook app right out steals the login details to your email accounts, along with all emails you will send and receive even after uninstalling that malware:

if the burner phone is a cheap smartphone, it could still be helpful

yeah they are pretty good apps! basically a must-have for protests, if you bring a smartphone. maybe for traveling too, in case it’s stolen
