Are you getting user tags from a third-party Lemmy app? I don’t see that feature in the web interface.

I have deployed LiveLit for my homeserver

Do you mean LiveKit?

an always on chat channel.

I guess you must mean an always on voice channel. Thanks for clarifying.

(For what it’s worth, my groups are using Mumble for that purpose, alongside Matrix, at least until MatrixRTC brings its voice features up to speed.)

What does this mean?

Tor Browser is a modified Firefox ESR, which is just Firefox with less frequent releases.

There’s a lot more here than what the headline captures, about Flock, their lies, and how their systems’ widespread use affects communities. It’s worth a watch.

They acknowledge this in the article. The four levels of processing used in the University of São Paulo’s classification system are at least a start. Clearly we need to keep learning which aspects of these foods cause harm, and improving the classifications.

I’m also curious how much of the harm is caused by plastic contamination, either while the foods are being manufactured or picked up afterward from packaging.

But if the ENDS are both compromised…

If either end is compromised, then there is someone reading over the proverbial shoulder, and the conversation should be considered compromised.

Hopefully Linux Phone gets some love.

That would be a welcome step in the right direction, as would open hardware.

So just to confirm the answer to my question question: Its pointless to use encrypted messaging on an Android device?

Of course not. End-to-end encrypted messaging protects against eavesdroppers in transit. It’s an opaque envelope.

(Edit: Keep in mind that Google is not the only potential eavesdropper out there.)

What it cannot do is protect a message from someone reading over your shoulder when you write a message or open an envelope. On mainstream Android, that could be Google, if they choose to abuse their system-level access. On iOS, it could be Apple. And so on.

Those companies might be eavesdropping on sent/received messages already, either at a large scale or in a minority of cases, or regionally, or they might not be doing it at all… yet. But they have the capability. You’ll have to decide for yourself whether that risk is acceptable.

Google has the capability to read everything that you can read on an Android phone, unless you have taken steps to remove all Google-controlled components that have system-level privileges. Last time I checked, this included Google Play Services, which are installed by default on most Android phones.

Note that messengers with end-to-end encryption, like Signal, cannot protect against an adversary with full access to your device.

This is part of why people de-Google their phones, which usually means replacing the entire OS with something like LineageOS or GrapheneOS.

To be clear, this is not about EXIF data (which is its own problem).

Digital cameras can be fingerprinted from the images they produce, due to variations between pixels in any given sensor. If you’re concerned about an image being traced back to your camera, you might consider some post-processing before distributing it.

This is mostly true.

However, it’s worth noting that your home instance is uniquely positioned: it can see not only everything you send out into the fediverse, but also everything you read or subscribe to, so its privacy practices can still matter.

With that in mind, I suggest avoiding instances that run behind Cloudflare, which can see (and even change) every interaction you have with the instance.

You might also want to disable off-site images in your web browser (if you use Lemmy’s web interface) and prefer an instance with a large image cache, because loading images that are hosted on other instances will leak your reading habits to those instances.

Yes.

BTW, Lemmy lets you edit titles, so you can fix errors like that.

Nope. 8 years after release, mine still has network service and still works well.

The best one I know is https://web.archive.org/

Unfortunately, no archive site manages to archive every article before a paywall goes up. I’ve had the best luck on archive.org by selecting the earliest snapshot they have.

Even if you get past the loop, the fact that archive.is is now using third party CAPTCHAs means that their provider can track your interests: They can correlate the page you came from, the archived content you wanted, your browser fingerprint, your IP address if not using a VPN, etc. If it’s a big provider like CloudFlare or Google (spoiler: it is) they can also correlate all that with a significant chunk of your non-Lemmy web browsing.

This is why I no longer use archive.is.

That depends on the device, not the OS.
