That's an ankle monitor that you pay for

You never had a standard for accepting evidence? Why did you even ask then?

You asked for evidence.

List out the evidence you accept.

Articles are getting too redundant thanks to what I'd bet is AI. Not even sure if this one is reading past a couple sentences, which basically repeat what other people have said but slower.

You'd be better off reading this tweet that the author referenced but failed to link.

As Proton put it on [Twitter]:

OpenAI says it runs locally and doesn't build an index. Local execution isn't the same as local processing. The moment ChatGPT summarises a thread or drafts a reply using a hosted model, that content leaves the machine.

Here's a glance at how poor the writing is. Compare this section

“This is no different from email, SMS, Slack or Teams”

It is.

Think Signal, not SMS.

SMS, ordinary email, Slack and Teams don’t provide the same promise of privacy as iMessage, Signal, or Proton, where the service is designed so the provider itself can’t read the end to end encrypted message content.

To this section:

Why iMessage is different

Think Signal, not SMS.

Some people think of Apple Messages as ordinary text messaging, but it’s one application supporting 3 different messaging services: regular SMS, end to end encrypted iMessage and, more recently, RCS.

It's the same thing, said slowly, and said twice. For no reason.

The style looked extremely AI to me: repetitive, "not X but Y", tiny sentences, even "every X a Y" variant.

Tested and appears true.

Notefox by Saverio Morelli: "Take notes on every website in a smart and simple way!" Recommended by Mozilla. Available on Android.

A real innovation would be to pick up the pieces left by the independent developer who ported the Gecko engine (with add-on support) to iOS and start lobbying regulators to mandate its inclusion on the Apple Store. Versus their current, anti-antitrust lobbying.

We already have a procedure to remove parked cars in an emergency situation too. We could do it before the advent of computers...

Man who complains about stalkers (via article) funds stalker technology.

Man afraid of government overreach funds police buildout. From the cops:

“These are very heavily used tools in the law enforcement toolkit, so it’s good to add more to our belt.”

Funnily enough, Microsoft built WSL so developers could use Linux without leaving Windows. Instead, it turned a growing number of Windows PCs into functional Linux development machines, with Windows serving as little more than the launcher.

Does this suggest that more Ubuntu users are developers than typical non-technical people (or that they're about to be)? We need to pump up those numbers on average peoples' computers

We identify anonymous website visitors, mainly for big Shopify stores.

Thanks, I hate it.

We can get an email address for that person, help you email and add them to your list safely.

I don't think this individual understands the meaning of the word "safely"

We partnered with publisher networks for the identity info, which we capture and transfer to our customers. We’re the middleman.

I love how surveillance capitalism has ensured that nobody in the surveillance pipeline is responsible for their own behavior. (Earlier they said they used tracking pixels on various sites before they switched to just Shopify, so I do hold this person responsible)

Considering the article is AI-generated AI-refined, "ensuring that every article is engaging, clear and succinct," I think the original source or a better outlet would be preferable

Corporations are people and people are but things to corporations

Ironically Mark Zuckerberg is well known for doing unprofitable things, and for building his company in a way where he cannot be removed.

If you use AI - if you’re excited about AI - be honest about it... Refusing to admit to it is cowardly behavior, and it says you’re ashamed of your workflow, jealous of writers who don’t use AI, and uncomfortable with your own choices... don’t be defensive and play games with people.

I keep a monthly-updated “How I AI” disclosure on my Substack About page for anyone to see.

Author both uses AI (IMO too much, as I had to crush 7 paragraphs into 2 above) but is one of the rare examples of people who don't protest too much about their desire to use it.

This is a phenomenon that is easy to demonstrate with monitor apps for airtags, pervert glasses, and even Tesla automobiles (yes, they constantly send out a Bluetooth signal your phone can pick up).

The PNAS article, Epstein says, is not a finger-pointing exercise but an encouragement for dialogue on new research and remedies

I don't think dialogue will help when Big Tech intentionally uses this stalling technique. Or that this is a bug to be remedied.

Privacy.com's cards offer that feature (allegory the original selling point for me was that I could use them alongside any name/address). It's helped me cut down on attempted fraud a couple times too.

I think it's technically a payment processor, but functionally it's more like a proxy between a bank and online shops/services

I don't understand how anybody who's annoyed with spam would be satisfied with that answer either. I'd want to know which shop it was, and how to avoid them.
