Privacy@lemmy.ml•Uncovering Webloc: An Analysis of Penlink’s Ad-Based Geolocation Surveillance Tech
3·5 days agoMaybe the data brokers might delete based on the requests, but it seems this is a lot deeper than anything the GDPR could fix as the data would be reuploaded and updated, because the data comes from the “analytics” and “diagnostics” SDKs, being uploaded to data brokers and unified under the advertisement ID from google and apple devices/browsers.
I think this could only be broken by not using the advertisement ID (that was promised to help anonimize the advertisement data) and block all the requests by DNS blocking on the whole device, like with Ublock Origin + Hosts file + pihole/nextdns/adguard, etc.
Edit: also blocking cwsystem.com, cwtapp.com, cobwebsapp.com and subdomains, because they can host malware made from the company that owns this system.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•The No. 1 Song On U.S. iTunes—And Several Other Countries—Is AI Generated
18·5 days agoAnother boring dystopia:

That Terra Australis going wild in there, or is it the flat earth walls?

Flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•using "natural" as a moral category is a form of post religious moralism
51·7 days agoThe natural, the real, everything like that doesn’t exist and have never existed. Thousand years ago we made bananas lose their seeds and we changed how society works I don’t know how many times.
If we didn’t created something, we changed it until it’s unrecognisable.

Android@lemmy.world•So, Google can just randomly uninstall apps from my device? What will happen after developer verification comes into effect?
6·9 days agoOn one of my phones I do this plus delete/disable everything from google, except play services and play services framework (with everything disabled in there, only cloud messaging enabled). For apps on the play store I just download from aurora store.
The only thing I needed the play store for was to register 2FA for the government app on that phone. On the rest, it didn’t make a difference.
On another phone I use microg and it works fine too. I think attestation (safetynet) and disabled root and dev tools will make everything work fine, I put my hosts file using adb in recovery mode and no application has noticed. No banking app, nothing noticed.
I didn’t know that Android would block installs from “unauthorized sources” using play protect, I thought it would be hardcoded into play services or even on the android images.
Edit: for such a “secure” implementation, etc, it seems very weak, ngl

Technology@lemmy.world•A single threat actor used Claude and ChatGPT to compromise nine Mexican government agencies and steal hundreds of millions of citizen records in a highly sophisticated cyberattack.
5·11 days agoProbably.
I think almost all calls these days are scams, like phishing, advertisements, voice cloning, the usual nigerian prince (he’s still alive).

Technology@lemmy.world•A single threat actor used Claude and ChatGPT to compromise nine Mexican government agencies and steal hundreds of millions of citizen records in a highly sophisticated cyberattack.
41·11 days agoUltimately I noticed a lot of new scams running around and some gov.br websites serving a lot of scams (they existed before only as redirects to scams, now they seem to be hosted in there too). A friend of mine tried to delete a 2FA token from her phone and got calls about that from a completely different “agency”.
Seems like the script kiddie bar got higher…
Edit: But on this case, the article doesn’t give any source

Funny@sh.itjust.works•How to protect your sexuality in Brazil
34·22 days agoCan confirm, I was gay that year.
Don’t say this near Engels or he’ll take down Marx on the most brutal way, just like Saint Max (Stirner) and Saint Bruno (Bauer).

World News@lemmy.ml•West refuses to condemn slavery at UN
12·28 days agoIdk, i think it should have reparations, like, if for hundreds of years, robbing, killing, enforcing servitude of tens of millions of people for the enrichment of a few countries should make these countries pay. It gave these countries the backbone to todays “welfare states”, the industrial revolution was kickstarted on the cotton and sugar fields that these enslaved people worked, etc, etc, etc.
I don’t care about the legality, the wording, the whatever, it seems pretty clear to me that this should happen, and them giving this response shows that basically they don’t care and never cared.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•To what extent is the standard structural definition of racism structurally racist?
3·1 month agoThis seems a very simplistic way of seeing racism. Like, to me, complex human interactions and systems cannot be simplified in this manner:
Some are expressed as formulas (priviledge+power or prejutice+power) with the key concept being power.
There’s a lot more nuance than this. If you’re thinking about structural racism, the legal, the opportunity given, segregational, educational and societal (even if not official) factors of racism, that’s what I think it is, the amalgamation of various factors into the added institution of racism, as they are at the structural foundation of our modern society, not just a guy being racist, not just priviledge, but the educational access for black people or laws implicitly made to keep latinos out of legality (some examples).
It’s not that simple. Check this and this as they’re a good start.
And, to the question, in the definition I just gave, the question:
To what extent is the standard structural definition of racism structurally racist?
Doesn’t even make sense, as describing the ways racism prevail in society is not racist, because the definition of racism is a lot different than this.
