i used to use opera

everyone spies?

im 90% chrome now and 10% firefox

Despite what everyone thinks, it's actually good that youtube is being this flagrantly corrupt.

I mean

I'm 99% FF and 1% Chrome

if you are skeptical of edge spying, then stop using any MS product

Imagine if they were good at hiding it!

or google product

Can you imagine how much evil work they could get done?

or apple product

Thank GOD they suck at hiding it.

basically anything not open source

fair

or owned by a company

right

hell, even FF might not be perfect there either

seriously though

every company has issues

FOSS isn't always the answer either

just sucks

we're in this teenage period of internet

and that's the problem

angsty aint it

yup

the internet has to grow up

Oh God

The internet is a Millenial

basicallly

become an adult

the internet needs to take responsibility

tbh, there is a legit reason to be collecting a lot of this information for a product design standpoint. Its very hard to get around it unless you don't want the program to become more useful over time.

The internet needs to stop eating avocados and move out of their parents house

yes

i mean, its like GPS, you cannot use google maps without google maps knowing where the device is

>youtube striking h3h3 for talking about jones
>twitter purging proud boys
wtf..I got play gayms for 2 hours and shit happens

you cannot use the internet without hte internet knowing where you computer is on the network

lots of companies use telemetry to make products better

they do

it also means they know what you are using it for

thats the point

and where to improve

and share that with installed software vendors

so their products improve

typically nothing PII

but certainly crashdumps, etc

@Senny

its a catch 22

it is

but a company has to be able to improve product

and data driven product improvement is best

and everyone's doing it

regardless of people that say they aren't

its like when windows xp would ask you to send error data

now tha'ts just automatic

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/enterprise-threat-detection/collector/collector-client-configuration-windows-10-telemetry-requirements

windows 10 for example

the only good option is to no default enable it, but even then, the company will take forever to get that needed datapoints, and most likely only a certain subset will know

how to turn it on

correct

default no doesn't help anyone honestly

default low is good

and as long as its sanitized

it shouldn't matter

no PII

just the threadstack + processes + systemdata, etc

actually, the problem is that the data is being collected, necessarily , but that the same data that is needed to improve the project, can be used to identify you even if they don't know anything more than the location the info came from.

probably

collected enough data points, you can connect the dots

sure

there's no getting around that

its how hackers break into things

if anyone tells you they are hacker proof

find someone else

security vendor, etc

well, they could be disconnected from the internet lmao

nope

social engineering

and have their computer in a locked room with not wires in or out

doens't matter

if a physical person, even a trusted one, has physical access, it can be hacked

idk, at that point they are no longer a hacker, but are a normal thief

not necessarily

i would consider them a thief.

many hackers are theives?

most

ok then

most are also lazy

most hackers are about the challenge

lazy or arrogant

Knife media is gone 😦

i mean, being tied to a sex cult does not do well for your image

bit hard to come back from that

Does anyone know how I can get a hold of Tim Pool? I wish to add context of what happened in Thailand.

Redbull tastes absolutely disgusting

You could just try sending him a DM

DM works

Ok, thanks guys.

most energy drinks taste disgusting
