We need to start a religion that
has for principle to never share your personal information online for trivial reasons, so that it becomes a protected category or something.
I'm only half joking.
Also, maybe I watched
The Mandalorian too much.

I missed this a few days ago - US grocery giant Kroger is actively selling its customer loyalty data and customer profiles to data brokers and to other companies.

therecord.mediaConsumer Reports: Kroger using loyalty program to package, sell customer dataA consumer watchdog said Tuesday that one of the country’s largest grocery chains allegedly used data collected from loyalty shoppers to build often incorrect secret profiles of them and sell their information to other companies.
Change is coming.

David Sommerseth @tuxedocomputers and @nitrokey delivers hardware which is more open, capable of running Linux very well. Both European companies.
@frameworkcomputer and @system76 are US based companies, but delivers great Linux support as well.
#Fairphone with @e_mydata preinstalled (by @murena) delivers a de-googled Android phone with high focus on #privacy. Both Fairphone and Murena are European companies.
The #ARM architecture platform is designed by a UK company. But this platform is also highly extensive and each vendor manufacturing ARM CPUs have the possibilities to add their own extensions to it, which many mobile phone vendors and Apple has done. What we're missing is probably more an ARM based platform manufactured in Europe, which is used by the other computer and mobile/tablet vendors.
There are sane and more reliable alternatives, even though some of the aspect of them could be a bit better if you aim for a complete de-coupling from USAs technology.

lmao, never a dull moment
I got this email just now, sent from a domain of the provider where I host some Tor webtunnels. Hard to tell if the hosting provider has actually been pwned or if the threat actors are just bluffing.
Any advice from cyber professionals?
@briankrebs @PogoWasRight @metacurity @unredacted have y'all heard if ColoCrossing has been pwned?
Before you go on a trip, encrypt your devices, especially those you'll carry with you. Minimize your data on all devices and delete unnecessary information, photos & files. Save them to a cloud or physical backup and delete from your phone. https://lockdownyourlife.as.me/travel

Handy guide to pass to your friends, feel free to add to it or improve it. All I ask is that you share it back so I can also share your knowledge.
Companies are writing Terms & Conditions longer than "War and Peace" while hiding privacy settings better than I hide my treats. Time for opt-out-by-default privacy laws? Because let's be honest, nobody should need an archaeology degree to protect their personal data.

Most #AI chatbots devour your user data - these are the worst offenders
The greediest AI of all gobbles up 90% of user data types - far more than most. Take a wild guess which one it is.

ZDNET · Most AI chatbots devour your user data - these are the worst offenders
A conference presenter discussed a study where an AI model was trained on only 5 minutes of movement data (head and hand position/rotation) from a Beat Saber player and it could then identify that player with 94.33% accuracy.
The way you move is like a fingerprint.
Although I wonder how much of it was style of movement vs physical features like height and arm length. It's possible they said and I'm not the best listener.
