Privacy GuidesAs we cover data privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences this June, it's inevitable that we must talk about dating apps.
Unfortunately, many of them are horrible when it comes to preserving your privacy.

What is “Browser fingerprinting”?
It is a method of tracking web browsers by the configuration and information they make visible to websites, rather than traditional methods such as IP addresses and unique cookies.
When you load a web page, you will automatically broadcast certain information about your browser to the website you are visiting.
It may look for what types of fonts you have installed, the language you’ve set, the add-ons you’ve installed.
Excerpt from https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/about#browser-fingerprinting
https://www.whatismybrowser.com/
is a great site to see what your web-browser is sending everytime you visit any website.
It shows a lot of information that most of us didn't know was being sent to website owners and big-tech.

Asheville CharlieI've been on an advertising boycott since January.
What does that mean?
Full adblock and vpn on the web. If you throw me the permissions thing on a website I go away.
No mainstream media.
No cable, no OTA, no YouTube, no streaming service, only my collection of 6000 tv episodes, 300 movies and gigs of music. Updated via BitTorrent.
It's weirdly liberating and also feels rebellious.
OMG! The latest video from Louis Rossmann is crazy. And worth watching!
Netflix is going to be absolutely screwing its users by watching their every move on the platform. Using generative AI ads means their data collection on the users (even on paid plans) will be so intrusive.
#Netflix ..... more like #StopFlix

C.This report about #Wacom graphics tablets is disturbing for a couple of reasons.
1. They are surveilling users of their #tablet - a human-interface device analogous to a mouse or trackball - recording every application you open, or when you switch between windows of different applications. They are collecting this data via a trip through Google Analytics, aka Spyware Central. There is no possible way to justify collection of this particular data; it is none of their damn business how long you have your drawing program focused before switching to your browser and back again. The author notes their privacy policy really doesn't describe this collection of data correctly, so there really can't be informed consent in the first place.
2. Why on earth is it possible in #Apple #OSX / #MacOS for a USB human interface device driver to capture this information in the first place? Apple shares a big slice of the blame here - this should just simply not be possible for the driver to collect in the first place. Having such a driver allowed to place outgoing HTTP requests is also a big "WTF are they thinking?" moment.
