UBlock Origin is now blocking polyfill.io
Your regular reminder that AdBlockers are not just for hiding banner ads, they are also an indispensable tool for #privacy and #security

New ALPR Vulnerabilities Prove Mass Surveillance Is a Public Safety #Threat
Automated license plate readers (ALPR) can fingerprint citizens' vehicles and can track citizens' travel patterns.
Some ALPRs themselves don't appear to be designed with much #security in mind either; having pretty high vulnerabilities like insufficiently protected credentials. Or every camera having Wi-Fi on by default and using the same _hardcoded_ password.
There's also the issue of a potential #data breach or failed administrative controls surrounding disclosure of information (like when an Ohio police department gave a driver's ALPR scans to a total stranger, without even validating the requestor's identity.)
#firefox #privacy and #usability tip:
I found that turning off the ResistFingerprinting config option and removing the "Toggle Resist Fingerprinting" addon and instead using #CanvasBlocker fixed a lot of broken sites, particularly because it allows me to turn off protection for the handful of sites that don't work well otherwise.
Data profiling by political parties is mostly guesstimation of who you are.
Machine-born caricatures guiding an industry that's capable of political interference, eventually looping back into voter behaviour.
Data protection hands power back to voters.

Seems that #YouTube has blocked a lot of the front-ends.
Both #invidious and #piped are down. (Edit: some instances may still be working)
Guys, if you care about #freedom and #privacy, it's REALLY time to start investing heavily in @peertube (in every sense of the word)

Edit: Clarify that I'm talking about YouTube front-end websites, not apps like NewPipe or yt-dlp.
(Edit2: made the language more neutral. I hope that invidious and the like bounce back from this.)

If you feel disheartened by Adobe's news today 😔💔
I know change can be hard but
I would love to point you to a couple of great alternatives you will get used to in no time:
Replace Photoshop with -> @krita 🖌️
Replace Illustrator with -> @inkscape 🖋️
Why? Because of this: https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/06/06/adobes-new-terms-of-service-unacceptably-gives-them-access-to-all-of-your-projects-for-free
If you know any other great
Adobe software replacements,

"We are working on a bloody movie here, and NO, you don’t suddenly have the right to any of the work we are doing on it because we pay you to use photoshop."

I’m downloading logs from a Strato webspace. Their management interface produces the following note:
“For data protection reasons, the host name or IP address of the client accessing the website is anonymized in the log files.”
Ok, good to know. Looking into the downloaded logs:
anon-66-249-71-47.googlebot.com
Yes, the famous “prepend anon to IP address/host name” anonymization. Definitely GDPR compliant. /s
Do not think your data is completely safe from Microsoft Recall because you use Linux or macOS.
If you communicate with any person or organization that uses Windows, your data is not safe from this. Recall gathers data both ways.
Demand Recall get recalled.
