The author addresses the issue.

The regulation is part of a broader AML framework that includes bank and payment accounts, passbooks and safe-deposit boxes, “crypto-asset accounts allowing anonymisation of transactions,” and “accounts using anonymity-enhancing coins.”

Aujourd'hui nous célébrons le droit du travail et les luttes sociales.

Quelques rappels ✍️:

--> Le capitalisme est un système qui priorise le profit sur les personnes. Il conduit à une inégalité générale et à la destruction 💥

--> La censure numérique est un outil utilisé par ceux en pouvoir pour contrôler l'information et supprimer les voix dissidentes 🔊

--> Nous sommes confrontés actuellement à un cirque politique et médiatique clownesque. Peu importe le bord politique, nous devons rester lucide et continuer à défendre une vision de justice globale 🙏

--> Vous pouvez contribuer et être acteur d'un internet plus libre, plus juste et beau ❤️.

Hello,

as this is a fairly active community we just wanted to let you know that this community is no longer federating with Lemmy.World due to defederation from lemmy.one for lack of moderation.

Our announcement can be found here: https://lemmy.world/post/28173093

We recommend migrating to a community on an instance that is maintained better.

Before today, mailbox.org's 2FA mechanism was unorthodox. In the login screen, you typed in the TOTP in the password field and then added a 4 digit static pin at the end. This got people confused, as it's different than the usual login+password then TOTP. Now it's just like that.

There's also other goodies, like separate passwords for IMAP and SMTP, WebDAV, CardDAV/CalDAV (one password for both), Exchange Sync. Before today, you'd be using your main mailbox.org password for all of the above. Looks like IMAP access is not even possible without creating a separate password https://kb.mailbox.org/en/private/account-article/how-to-use-two-factor-authentication-2fa/

There doesn't seem to be support for the YubiKey TOTP anymore. No passkeys or hardware webauthn either for now.

mailbox.org is based on OpenXchange.

Encryption can’t protect you from adding the wrong person to a group chat. But there is also a setting to make sure you don’t.

You can add your own nickname to a Signal contact by clicking on the person’s profile picture in a chat with them then clicking “Nickname.” Signal says “Nicknames & notes are stored with Signal and end-to-end encrypted. They are only visible to you.” So, you can add a nickname to a Jason saying “co-founder,” or maybe “national security adviser,” and no one else is going to see it. Just you. When you’re trying to make a group chat, perhaps.

Signal could improve its user interface around groups and people with duplicate display names.

I may need to visit the United States briefly, therefore I want to offline backup my text messages and signal messages from my GrapheneOS phone. Once I return home I want to restore my data from the offline backup. Does anybody have experience and recommendations for this?

Hi 👋 just shared the site with one of my buddies and he told me he doesn’t care much about it because there’s no way you’ll be 100% privacy enforced since you’re using an iPhone and sharing your location, name, birthdate , personal files, photos.

I’ve to say this gets to me but on the other side I’m also respectful of everyone‘s opinion because after all, this is what makes us special

How are you handling these circumstances usually, do you say something?

I really like the convenience of using fingerprint unlock for lockscreen and password manager. I do however don't like the thought of being forced to unlock both physically.

I use Android with GrapheneOS.

I have set up lockdown, but it takes some time to hold the power button and then click lockdown.

Any creative solutions?

I recently discovered this setting and thought it might be of interest to others::

This setting is intended to help our users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland control the use of their personal data to train, test, validate, and align our own Al models as well as third-party Al models

Fastbackgroundcheck. com says there's info on me on truthfinder, spokeo, peoplefinders and instantcheckmate. When I try going through all four of those sites takes a super long time, including a few times in the past when I tried getting reports on myself.

The progress bars reach 100% and reset continously. If these sites are legimate like some reddit users claim, then why or be upfront about wanting me to pay? Right now I'm convinced that these sites are snake oil, maybe they work if you pay but the behavior of the free options turn me off. They act 100% like typical scam websites, the kind that asks you to complete three surveys on external sites with fake progress bars.

Basic info like my full name, address, age, and siblings can be found with search engines easily but I feel like there's no point in trying to wipe it if there aren't methods that could definitely work.

I have a lot of friends and family that use SMS/RCS and I can't get them all to use Signal.

I have the option to send SMS from a simple FOSS SMS app, and then we can communicate back and forth.

I've heard something about RCS getting E2EE and find that appealing.

What is the future of RCS? What are my options, and should I just stick with SMS?

Edit: Stick with SMS when I have to, and use Signal etc when possible ofc.

A contractor for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and many other U.S. government agencies has developed a tool that lets analysts more easily pull a target individual’s publicly available data from a wide array of sites, social networks, apps, and services across the web at once, including Bluesky, OnlyFans, and various Meta platforms, according to a leaked list of the sites obtained by 404 Media. In all the list names more than 200 sites that the contractor, called ShadowDragon, pulls data from and makes available to its government clients, allowing them to map out a person’s activity, movements, and relationships.

ShadowDragon says in marketing material its tools can be used to monitor protests, and claims it found protests around Union Station in Washington DC during a 2023 visit by Benjamin Netanyahu. Daniel Clemens, ShadowDragon’s CEO, previously said on a podcast that protesters should not “be surprised when people are going to investigate you because you made their life difficult.”

“The long list of sites and services that ShadowDragon’s SocialNet tool accesses is a reminder of just how much data is accessible and collected from and about us to provide surveillance services to the government and others,” Jeramie Scott, senior counsel and director the Electronic Privacy Information Center’s (EPIC) Project on Surveillance Oversight, told 404 Media in an email. “SocialNet is just one example of the unchecked surveillance ecosystem that lacks any meaningful transparency, oversight, or accountability that allows the government to circumvent Constitutional and statutory protections to access sensitive personal data,” he added.

The leaked list of targeted sites and services include ones from major tech companies such as Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok. It also includes communication tools like Discord and WhatsApp; activity- or hobby-focused sites like AllTrails, BookCrossing, Chess.com, and cigar review site Cigar Dojo; payment services like Cash App, BuyMeACoffee, and PayPal; sex worker sites OnlyFans and JustForFans; and social networks Bluesky and Telegram. Even relatively obscure social networks are included in the list, such as BeReal.

I haven't played Minecraft since 2015, but I get the feeling I might again in the new few years as I wanna find new hobbies. I know that game has changed a whole lot but I don't have any official online data on it.

I've had this Microsoft account for over a decade and its probably full of personal information that I wanna let go of, I've already exported all my data. I would need to pay $30 for another copy of Minecraft, same price I paid in 2013. I just did a bunch of searching and its not possible to transfer my Minecraft license to another account.
