Turns out that when cell phone companies sell location data, that means that people can buy that data.

"Big Tech's problem is Big, not Tech" by Cory Doctorow (video) archive.org/details/decentrali

I missed this when it came out a few months ago, but this is a great talk. I'm becoming more and more convinced that the problems of technology centralization can't be solved without antitrust. Tim Wu's recent book "The Curse of Bigness" also comes to mind here.

The New York Times reports Facebook gave Microsoft, Amazon, Spotify, Netflix, Apple, Yandex, Yahoo and others far more access to users' data than previously admitted, including access to private messages:

There is never going to be a better time to #DeleteFacebook, the violations are only going to get worse.

If you know someone who wants to try alternatives and needs a simple non-technical guide, try sending them this:

So @SlackHQ@twitter.com decided to send me this email. No way to appeal this decision. No way to prove that I'm not living in Iran and not working with Iranians on slack. Nope. Just hello we're banning your account.

Apparently the only valid UI for LDAP is manually typing LDIF files. Anything else - even things like the ldapscripts package - will make incorrect assumptions that break everything 100% of the time.

I released a new version of my Firefox extension that will forcefully redirect you away from privacy erosive services to better alternatives. It started as a joke, but I end up actually using it.

When I want to look up a place, I instinctively and mechanically start typing "maps.googl...". This extension will instead take me to OpenStreetMaps. It will also functionally translate Google Search links to DuckDuckGo and Google Translate links to Deepl.

"This is retaliation at its most brazen," Snowden himself told the Post via text message from his temporary refuge in Russia. "You can’t look at something like this without getting a sense that the mask has dropped … (and) there’s a machine that would burn everything we love to the ground without a tear if it meant making a problem go away."

lol. Will democrats actually try to fix vote counting in the US now, or will they keep saying that anyone who suggests that there are problems is trying to "undermine trust in the democratic process"?

You just need ONE broken #CA on the planet, specifically just ONE private key lost without disclosure, to impersonate ANY website.

Now think about the whole world and give an estimate of how many times this happened already.

This is how secure #HTTPS is.
