I know its weird wording but Brasil de Fato is a leftish Haitian news paper.

Ohhh, that makes way more sense, it’s been a long day. Ya, I only heard this from this article so I’m not too sure what’s really going on with that layer to it.

Truly, I just create a PDF from Libre to ensure formating to send off and no one has ever said a word about it.

I moved away from Brave Search when they went 2+ months only offering Google or Bing for their image searches. I can strongly recommend digging into search.disroot.org though!

It could just be me, but I dig disroots outlook. They’re a privacy-focused platform ran by volunteers in it for what seems to be all the right reasons. While on the other hand, I can’t tell you much about the other public SearXNG instance options.

Is privacy possible with smart TV?

I’d like to start a discussion about TV privacy in 2023. I’ve never been interested in having a TV, but recently I was thinking of getting one. Looking into it, the privacy implications seem horrible. All the major brands seem to have cameras, microphones, and content recognition software. I can’t believe how dystopian it...

This for me is the biggest privacy issue. The FBI having contracts which allow them to turn on and collect whatever data certain device can acquire, its fully bonkers. These contracts focus on massively sold devices. iPhones, Androids, along with Samsung TV’s have all been caught in the same mess. So I’d say keep searching for a TV until you find one which fits your threat model. They want you to give and buy a Samsung TV, so fuck em and keep on keepin on!

I just setup a new Windows 10 VM this morning and it was the first time I was not able to skip making a Microsoft account. So I just used an email alias and then instantly paused the email address after receiving the verification code. Regarding your uncertainty around what seems to be Microsoft having access to the email inbox somehow, I can’t see how that’d be possible unless the email is maintained by them or you decided to use Outlook. Use a burner email and make sure it’s only provided for the Teams account and you’ll be in a much better place than most Teams users.

Oh, well it possibility could be available in your contact information in Teams, so just use benign words that still have a subtle connection to you I’d say.

Spain: Anarchists Assemble Picket Lines For Ikea Dispute (popularresistance.org)

The company is systematically exploiting its workforce with non-payment of overtime, insufficient Personal Protection Equipment, blocking staff from going to their specialist doctor during working hours, among other deficiencies. And this is not the most serious thing that characterises FOLDECO’s board of directors or their...

So first, the US having military bases surrounding China is tied into why they disagree with their neighbors. They allowed the US on the boarder so it makes sense they aren’t stoked about it. The US has at least 750 military bases around the world in 80 countries. The next closest country has 145 bases and thats the UK. If we want to reference imperialism, then starting with the US is the most practical based on this alone.

In addition, only 12 countries consider Taiwan as an independent country. Regardless if this is correct, the actions the US has recently taken with Taiwan is without question increasing tension in an already tense situation.

Furthermore, following the numbers on the Uyghur women being forced to have contraception implants would mean each woman has 8 impants. This makes absolute zero sense. The fact the US media’s primary source on the Uyghur situation is an outright lunatic does help make it all add up though.

All in all, it takes two to tango for sure. Yet the US seeing it’s global power drastically decline makes their moves less obfuscated and vividly more desperate.

If you’re concerned about human rights, why gloss over the US being notorious for human rights abuse? They have the largest prison population ever, comprised primarily of minorities who were obscenely experimented on during MK Ultra. Plus the prior and current treatment of Native Americans or the 6,000,000+ innocent citizens killed in the war on terror. The US is no longer even classified as a first world country. But it doesn’t matter cause the news said the US is definitely the best choice for the world police.

Are you for bombing Mexico to stop the opioid crisis too? While the idea is gaining traction stateside, it takes minutes to understand of the 14,000+ pounds of fentanyl seized at the Mexican boarder in 2022, over 90% was from US citizens. But logic is totally overrated when it comes to international law I guess.

Ecosia, is it really so private?

A article about if Ecosia is really a private search engine.
I did spend a lot a time to analyze and investigate Ecosia, I hope this article helps people to better understand how private is Ecosia really and which are the downsides of it. Is the first article I ever written, so it isn't perfect. I'm open for feedback!

The fact you linked Disroots Cryptpad tells me you should also be using search.disroot.org too, no? From my digging around, SearX is as private as it gets plus the Disroot team is more transparent and trustworthy than Ecosia in my book. But solid job with your first article!

Legit leaked info the NSA tells their employees…

I dig the latter part of the statement, but that first half bugs me. Shouldn’t they have a warrant in order to monitor someone to an extent where this needs to be stated?

Having a plan which can be legally enforced would be a solid place to start.

Damn, the fact this is the case yet the threat is still ignored says a lot about where we’re at collectively!
