“I can reply whatever I want” that’s a horrible mindset for a forum

Your toothbrush scrubs your teeth at the same time your teeth scrubs your toothbrush. I’m guessing there’s enough agitation that everything comes out. But maybe there’s studies about this idk

Doesnt matter if the packets are encrypted, they have a destination. It’s like if you sent mail to a sketchy address, it doesn’t matter if the envelope is never opened, the address is still on the envelope.

So in this case the envelope would be going to cloudflare. Both Oracle and Cloudflare tell google about the envelope, and Cloudflare opens the envelope and tells google that the envelope was asking about xxx-website.com.

If this regulation only applied to large companies, then large companies would be forced to raise prices, and small companies would become more attractive to consumers.

If only big tech wasn’t a monopoly.

it’s still just your turn to drink that water, but your turn is very long

The startup landscape is cut-throat capitalism. And yes, Proton is still small enough to be in that space. In a space like that, you have to pick your battles. Proton chose privacy and UX, while foregoing AI ethics. Proton has some of the best UX in the privacy space, and I think that speaks to their good business strategies. From what I’ve seen, other options are not as user-friendly, or not as private.

Each individual is the same. You have to pick your battles. I’m not saying it’s impossible to choose both privacy and anti-AI. But as you are probably finding with your search for an email service, it becomes very difficult. Be careful not to spread yourself too thin. After all, individuals are also in competition.

wait yeah doesn’t this comm require AI disclosure

This is specifically targeting sports-stream piracy. If the VPNs block piracy, where do you go? Overload the Tor network with piracy streaming?

You’d think that but so far I haven’t seen an actual PoC exploit for the PHP vulnerability that doesn’t require misconfiguring the server. And this is over a week after the patches were released.

Samsung’s flagship “only” costs 1750€ and even Apple is lower at 1850€

Damn…I didn’t realize phones had gotten so expensive. Curious how much they’re worth after 1 year. Anybody know how much the buyback is for a 1-year old Apple/Samsung flagship?

Yeah I was just saying saying that it’s possible to have one without the other.

Because CF has to know the DNS request to ask the name server to resolve it. And CF sells the data to google.

Oracle doesn’t need to dump the ram. It can see the network packets coming from your device, to Cloudflare.

It’s a two hop path to the destination: you -> Oracle -> CF -> nameserver. If both Oracle and CF sell data to Google, then it’s the same as both hops colluding, which reveals the entire path.

Why can’t you have ip addresses without subnet masks? Couldn’t the whole internet be on a single network? Would be horrible for a number of reasons, but everything could still work.

I’m not sure how many proxies you are using here but let’s just take the example we covered earlier. You -> Oracle VPS (ODoH) -> Cloudflare -> DNS Server

Oracle sells your data, so now Google knows you own that VPS. Cloudflare sells data too, so now Google knows that a ODoH request came from the VPS and requested the name resolution for xxx-website.com. Google connects the dots and knows that you tried to visit xxx-website.com.

Regardless of what you do, your ip packets have to start from your device and end at the destination server. You can try to make it go through multiple hops (using Tor, multi-hop VPNs, ODoH, etc), but if any single entity has data from every hop, then the entire path can be reconstructed and your device is linked to the destination server. With multi-hop VPNs, you just have to trust the VPN provider. With Tor, hops are picked at random and you just hope that the intermediate servers aren’t colluding.

Oracle is not a privacy business, and they give away VPS for cheap or free. I wouldn’t be surprised if they sold data of their customers.

And again, if you are the only one using your VPS proxy server, then all the traffic from that VPS becomes a “fingerprint” of its own that can eventually identify you. This is called pseudonymity. Everybody has their own tastes and preferences after all, and traffic patterns can reveal that. With a Tor or VPN, you can constantly switch proxies, and your traffic is mixed with thousands of others, so extracting a single person’s traffic becomes much harder.

Context? Were MAGA people referring to people by their full names in order to avoid using pronouns?

They don’t need to work together, they can just sell the data to the same company (Google, Facebook) or both get subpoena’d by the government.

Their main business is not privacy. If they are caught selling data, they’ll still survive. A VPN provider on the other hand would be staking their entire company.

There was a Lemmy post about a Proton employee providing more context for Andy’s statements: https://no.lastname.nz/post/4106893

Did Apple’s old magnetic ports (on their macbooks) have the same issue?

There’s multiple things at hand here, including professionalism, AI code quality, and perception vs truth. It’s reductive to take one aspect (professionalism) and judge all the other aspects based on it.

I don’t think Andy Yen was saying that slower = worse, or that faster is all that matters. My read of the conversation is that engineers were pushing against AI saying that it makes code less secure and maintainable, and Andy was pushing back saying that’s not necessarily the case, that it’s possible to use AI to speed things up while maintaining quality.
