even worse, this may very well become a "let's ban whatever we want" type of power to their disposal.

Not Good.

Under the FISA expansion, what exactly should I worry about, how do I manage privacy? in c/[email protected]

I would, but I'm worried that somehow I can get in trouble for harassing a government official.

I tried calling my state's senators, they voted yes anyways...

Under the FISA expansion, what exactly should I worry about, how do I manage privacy? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hello everyone, with the unfortunate passing of the FISA expansion, I was left with a few questions. I tried to research it, and to me, it seems like they are beefing up surveillance with routers and ISPs (correct me if I'm wrong.) Aside from having businesses stalk you when you use their WiFi (connected with ISPs.)

And if that's the case, should I just always use a VPN? And furthermore, shouldn't you have always used a VPN prior to this anyways?

That's why I'm confused because I already thought that other businesses were collecting data and our ISPs were already sending our data away, so I'm partially confused about what the real change here with FISA is.

Any clarification and advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden in c/[email protected]

He likely doesn't want to get too involved with social media. Stuff easily consumes you. Twitter is just good to reach out to people, which is kinda bad that Twitter got that big.

I saw this on infinity for Reddit earlier, I don't know if there's a workaround for this or not.

What PC is like the "thinkpad" of PCs? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hello. Many of the older thinkpads were regarded as being peak for the ability to repair and easily see into them at both the hardware and software levels.

I was wondering, what PC, if any, is similar in this regard? Aside from building your own PC ofc. Any opinions are welcome. Thank you.

Suggestions for wireless access points in c/[email protected]

So it's just like mini routers just dedicated to internet, with better quality and reliability, that connect to the main router when it's near, but give you a stronger signal?

I just want to say that all of your efforts put into this are not going unrecognized. This is really awesome.

It's even so organized too. If I could make recommendations in the future, I'd look at private OS' designed for smart watches. And I might've missed it, but I was curious about your opinion on pine devices, and Ubuntu Touch.

Bromite got shut down or something too. I mean it hasn't been updated in a while.

Sorry for asking, but what even is the use of having a Wireless Access Point? If you have a router then you should be all set, no?

I used to be addicted to Signal on Stock Android, but I've been sober for over a year using Molly on GOS.

Will Google Play Services compromise my privacy on GrapheneOS? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hello everyone. I have a separate profile for my proprietary apps on GOS, yet some of these apps don't work, so I'm thinking I need to enable Google Play Services.

Was wondering if this could hugely compromise my privacy, and if I could uninstall GPS later on. Thank you!
