What is spying?
(lemmy.world)
Sorry to post my shitty neofetch to this community
Both Android and ChromeOS are Linux, and Google's spying there...
We should all be thankful that ChromeOS is flaming hot garbage that no one should be using on UX alone.

Apple fanboys will lose their shit if they see this meme. I sometimes dont understand these fanboys like apple doesn't pay them nor does they credit these idiots for word of mouth free marketing instead these idiots pay top $ to buy their product and act like them invented it. Stupid mofos!!
yeah i will never understand company fanboys they cheer for people that fuck them over it's like putting your hand in acid and saying it's good for you

Stalking. Spying sounds like a kids game or movie. This isn't observing. This isn't passive. It is actively exploiting. It is predatory, targeted, manipulative, with intent. It is stalking.
I think it is funny that this community thinks it knows everything about privacy and security and every time I see a post like this it becomes apparent that the main of this community doesn't.
I like the Fediverse but it is a security and privacy nightmare.
It would be, if users were convinced it is anything other than a public place.

If you're forced to use Windows for some things, use Windows 10 LTSC. If you can't buy it (because Microsoft refuses to let consumers buy a non-spyware version of their OS) then sail the high seas for it. It takes the telemetry out and you'll have full control over the OS, can more easily remove Edge and can set your group policy and other stuff to completely block telemetry to your taste.

the reason they put so many cameras on phones is not for selfies
I always love that scene in Batman where he's hacked everyone's phone to see all their cameras.
It looks like everyone in the world is standing around everywhere pointing their phone cameras in the most convenient directions to give a great view of streets, rooms and hallways everywhere.
In real life, if you tuned into people's cameras right now, fifty percent would be the inside of pockets, purses or clothing. A quarter would be pointed at blank walls, ceilings, floors or the sky. And the rest would be terribly close close-ups of people faces or the shower/bathroom/sink.
If I remember correctly, it wasn't the cameras, it was the microphones. It was able to recreate 3d scenes with some kind of sonar algorithm (probably by combining the microphones from multiple people in the same room?) (I actually really liked Batman using sonar). 3d images from microphones still sounds farfetched but, may actually be possible soon

Facebook: you guys hide it?
All you can really do is make the spying as difficult as possible. That's really all we can do ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
