I thought thr Cyberdump was supposed to be that
They'd just buy assets that others won't be able to afford and hoard more
Wdym? Like if it's an encampment?
I don't really understand what threshold under which things ahouls remain as is
And if a local park is full of them and is now inaccessible by the public? What if it's full of used needles? Would you let the person keep destroying their own life further in this case? There are municipal departments that have trained employees to help those in need, in my view this is the compassionate thing to do. That's why there's funding for these organizations
Calling defeat before even trying is not only not grounded by facts - it's playing right into their hands (their = data exchange companies and nodes in that network)
I don't see the connection between Lemmy and Bluesky/reasoning, can you elaborate?
Two Tesla owners walk into a bar. One stops in the middle on the way to the aeat and the other one drives right into a fire truck
The default is unpeaceful? You're saying you'd rather play without the local bugs?
First thing that came to mind reading the headline
Although these wellness farms might seem like a worthwhile idea on paper, there are plenty of ways these kinds of systems could be rife with abuse. It's also unclear how different they would really be from the rehabilitation facilities that already exist across the country, and RFK's claims that most of the issues come down to not eating organic food also don't seem to be based on hard science.

Means well but it sounds here like they'll be volunteering at a farm for 3-4 uears, wasting their time
For those like myself, wondering why is this significant, here's a comment from Reddit:
Here's a long answer. To the first question, "What's the significance of 915Mhz?"
In the United States, all devices which emit electromagnetic energy (radio waves) are legally under the purview of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC publishes regulations which state the conditions that must be met to make these emissions legal. Most of the time, the rules primarily relate to the frequency and power of the radio waves being emitted. Secondarily, the intentions of the device owner are considered.
So what's special about 915 MHz under these rules? 915 MHz is the center frequency of a band of frequencies, stretching from 902 MHz to 928 MHz, which has been set aside for "Industrial, Scientific and Medicine" use (ISM). Subject to several other conditions, this band is free for anyone to use for nearly any legal purpose.
This is unlike other frequencies, such as the band from 88 MHz to 108 MHz, which can only legally be used by commercial FM radio stations, and only then if they've received a license for the specific frequency they've been assigned and hired licensed engineers who ensure that the signal won't interfere with any other licensed stations and obeys other technical requirements.
There are other ISM bands beside 902-928 MHz. One of them is at 2.4 GHz, which make look familiar as well.
That's some serious spam if it managed to get there too
Articles about this will continue to be posted until moral improves
Let us know of you find out how. Heard others filtering but that might be on other platforms
The internet has changed. Privacy left behind
As we rushed into the Web 2 era, privacy was left behind. There was a naive view that users could consent to something that was impossible to understand. The result was tracking and monitoring of every activity.
I chatted to Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, Co-Founder of Brave, and the Co-founder of Mozilla. We talk about how the privacy landscape evolved on the internet, and the future of our technology-driven world.
00:00 The Serfs Have to Band Together! 00:51 Why Privacy Matters 04:30 Privacy Nihilism 06:29 The Rise of Extensions 11:48 Brave and Ads 15:06 Privacy is Now Marketable 16:31 Bridging the Divide Between Users 19:58 They Are Profiling You 21:50 Incentive for Government Control 23:30 Tech Optimism 24:48 Users Matter Most 28:57 Companies Can Make a Big Difference 31:47 UBlock Origin and Google 33:23 There is No End to Security 36:14 Braves Large Movement of Users 37:37 Decentralization Pays Off 38:00 Users Can Tilt Markets 38:55 What the Future Holds 39:39 Privacy Acceleration
We need more tools that make it possible to not only maintain privacy, but to still have a user-friendly experience at the same time. We, as users, need to fight back and demand it.

How do you folks set time boundaries for this game?
Want to get the DLC and start over but I'm a little afraid to sink in too many hours since there's always improvements to be made
Edit: spelling
Is sharing links to interesting privacy YouTube discouraged here?
Want to share a link to a recent interview with Brave's co founder and which I found interesting. Is that something that fits this group or better posted elsewhere?
A boat bearing Nazi symbols alongside Donald Trump flags was hosed down after trying to join a Trump event in Palm Beach County.
Do people enjoy Proton's 90s YouTube videos?
Proton has been uploading short 1.5 minute videos on their channel, and I feel like they lack substance and don't go over any of the topics meaningfully. Do you see this format resonating with the public? Should they be making more in-depth videos?
I'm guessing the demographic that follows Naomi Brockwell TV, for example, doesn't intersect much with the ones that might watch those shorts
TIL - HIPAA doesn't protect data from being shared between organizations without consent
It obviously protects against sharing data with e.g. your employer, but if a health provider chooses to make your data shareable, there are 2.2M authorized entities that can potentially access the data (identifiable health data).
Excerpt of the video description: Most people think that HIPAA means that their medical records are kept private. But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect your privacy at all?
This is our first video in a series about medical privacy, specifically looking at legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing.
We focus on what HIPAA actually is, how it came to allow our data to be shared without us even knowing, how we’ve been tricked into thinking we have privacy, and steps we can take to reclaim control of our medical data.

We deserve privacy in our medical system. Our health information is sensitive, and we should be allowed to protect it. Even while we fight for better medical privacy, please always prioritize your health.

F-Droid APKs aren't synced with releases
I keep getting notified that I should upgrade my newpipe apk to a newer version through a url. F-Droid only has up to v0.25.2 but the latest is v0.26.1. It's been like that for >1w (the discrepancy), is this usual for F-Droid repos? Or something with my installation is wrong?
Any Lyft 3rd party apps out there?
Lyft disabled scheduling rides through ride.lyft.com, I used that quite a bit but now in forced go use the app. The problem however, is that their app just doesn't work. It launches, says the Google API is necessary and then continues to close.
Does anyone know of an app that use their API that doesn't shut itself down without installing Google SDK?
Why does Nebula need to share my data with advertisers?
> Advertising Partners. We may also share personal information with third parties who we partner with for advertising campaigns or that collect information about your activity on the Services for the purposes described in the "Interest-Based Advertising" section above.
It's a paid service, wtf is this BS
Their final reply: > I wanted to reach out as a followup to your earlier request. I spoke with some members of our product team, and it would actually appear as though we don't currently support users opting out of that particular clause in our terms of service. I also wanted to let you know that we don’t currently share user info with third parties for advertising, and as far as I can tell, we have no roadmapped plans for doing so in the future.
Can you buy your own data tosee what they have on you?
I saw an article awhile ago that the police just straight up bought ad-network data about someone they were prosecuting without needing a warrant. Is there anyway to know what info ad networks have on me out there?
I know there are databrokers you can query to see what they have kn you, but those are all public records from I could find so far
Do people automatically consent to the death voixe chat?
I noticed quite a bit of people not knowing you can opt out of the dead voice chat recording (where it transmits your mic audio when you die for a couple of seconds).
When I installed the game there was a prompt that asked for an opt-in, that was pretty short to read.
Do you think people automatically click "I consent" or is the prompt not very clear?
Aside from the lack of E2EE, why is Telegram not trustworthy?
A lot of privacy guides suggest avoiding Telegram. I understand that in its default mode there's no E2EE (and no E2EE for groups at all). If people I know don't wanttko use Signal, isn't Telegram the lesser evil given it's nicer privacy policy (than other popular ones)?
Say I use the FOSS version of it.
