I just found an android alternative. nd it blows my mind, how many persistant identifying signals apps can access, without permissions. This makes it really clear. Only installing trustworthy software is crutial. #FOSS

Wow quiet a blow. If it is true, that Ukrain managed to manipulate russian airdefense, then what holds the russian soldiers up to support this regime... View quoted note →

The loupe app is a very intresting opensource development. A project from a security researcher, that helps improving the awareness, what apps can see. Anyone with an iPhone can test it. #privacy #tracking #ios #iphone

#asknostr #privacy #security Which privacy concerned nostriches did already use uBlock Origin's dynamic filtering? I use it daily since around 3 years and I am curious, how many of you did at least test it yet?

uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean. - gorhill/uBlock

I think through using dynamic filtering, one learns a lot about how websites work. And how much unneeded code most websites load to our browsers. To me it seems one of the most important tools for minimizing my internet fingerprint.

What do #US Nostriches think about the water problem around the colorado river? Seems, that the river offers less water every year, while there still seem to be societies, that do not even understand the problem. Seems as one day, there will be no water in the river. So whatever life, that depends on this water, will extinct. No wealth can change this.

Thanks a lot for this great analysis Max Fisher. Am I stupid or did you just somehow crack the riddle, on why industrialized countries around the world tend to have less babies? More equal opportunities → more equal necessaties Giving away priviledges is alway hard. Men lack the great idols of Men that fullfull the role of equal realtions. So as if when woman and men lived in different worlds. Women happily live a more free more equalized live, where they get same opportunities as men have. Therefore they request also more similar investments into housekeeping. And many men still do not accept this deal, since what they learned until now is to be previlidged. Thank you very much. This video kind of made me thinking, if this is might knowledge that needs more reach. The more men understand this, the more will come to the conclusion, that they need to be more giving. Offering more in order to have success in finding a working relation. And for both sex to realize, that dating is still a social task. And no matter how afraid one is to socialize. There is simply no way around it. So for those that do not want to be alone simply need to get out into the wild and socialize against all fears they have. And yes. All kind of relations usually are trades. I think many people need to accept, that every relation is not something that needs to gain me anything all the time. But that when I am willing to help others when they need someone, maby there could be someone, when I am in need one day.

GM A great article to explain the paradox between conforming to a society and individual behavior and needs. https://medium.com/@philosophy.101/the-paradox-of-freedom-balancing-society-and-individualism-e4a4f5b5c726 #philosophy

GM nostr I am thinking about why I use FOSS almost whenever it is available. Even when the performance, usability and notworkeffect are not yet on the level of a commercial competitor. And the answer is, that this decision depends on more dimensions. Usability, performance and network are all important aspects. But I look at them not as the only aspects. For me the vector of independence is one big factor. The answer to the question who ultimately controls the tool. And most of the time the answer is, that a tools developers have control over it. Even in FOSS-tools. But with transparent development and free licensing, the developer is in the best effort, to allow participation. It is only a question of personal preference, if one would like to improve a tool towards personal needs. On privately owned and developed products, one can propose certain behavior. But the effort to enforce a behavior are much bigger. Reverseengineering is needed and sometimes this effort could come even with the risk of legal interventions. So my decision to use LibreOffice instead of Microsoft Office, Firefox instead of Chromium. They both depend on the fact, that Microsoft Office and Chromium are both driven by private companies. And every idea, that should be implemented into their product, depends completely on the interest of those companies. So even when the free products might perform a bit lower in something. This performance can be improved. But on the other hand. Whoever uses the Propriatary solution looses the choice to tinker specific behavior, when the owner wants something. When Microsoft Office pushes its owner towards the cloud, one is met with the question to simply leave or participate in their rules. With free software, forks come accross, when there is strong disagreement with a direction of development. Something that is only possible with transparent development. This is why I prefer FOSS, even when it performs worse, has wors UX or has more issues. Because those things can be fixed, while the freedom of propriatary software can not be fixed. It is inherently implemented. #FOSS #freedom #software #privacy #UX
