on I'm not trying to emulate my capitalist landlord, but how can I impose rent on the spider that seems to have moved in to my network rack? 🕷️🕸️ in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 12 Sep 2026
They’re already working hard ensuring your local network web is free from bugs.

Hot take, but the invasion of privacy only actually occurs when someone publishes the recording. Otherwise, making a personal recording of what someone can see or hear is no more invasive than them being there.
You can’t claim an expectation of privacy against someone when you’re stood in the same room with them.

“Upload your ID for every transaction to prove you’re not a sex offender”.

At this point it’s pretty blatant that OpenAI are engaging in price fixing more than they are actually delivering AI datacentres.

It makes sense for Google to comply with the law. It would be good for Google to act in good faith, instead of facilitating frivolous spam complaints and preventing their legal resolution through subversive threats to the victim businesses on their platforms.

DMCA isn’t all that unreasonable, though. It’s Google’s implementation of their DMCA policy that fails everyone. The article explains this further, with how instead of adhering to the 14 day restoration requirement in the DMCA law, Google took 46 days to restore this app last time.
The legal remedy here is for the developer to sue Google alongside the false DMCA company. Unfortunately, Google’s response to this kind of thing is to usually ban the developer from Google servers, thereby cutting their future income.
TL;DR Google is the biggest cunt in all of this.

Aurora Store is good enough for most. It’s still on Google Play, but you’re not using the Google Play app and you can even pick which version and see an Exodus tracking report before you download.
Rather than finding the same app elsewhere, though, you should be looking for alternative apps on FDroid and the like. Unfortunately though FDroid is terrible for searching for apps, you just kind of have to “know” about the app you’re looking for first, somehow…

on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Alternate headline: Firefox is now the only browser worth using.
And in any case, lumping Firefox as one browser is disingenuous. There are numerous Firefox forks, just like every other major browser is in fact a Google Chromium fork.
That’s an interesting argument, however it probably wouldn’t go that far.
Taking it back to retro interpretations, sharing your photo with meta is basically the same as sharing your photo with a print company that takes and processes your negatives. They’re acting on your behalf in a limited scope, so sharing with them is the same as you doing it all yourself.
However it maybe comes back into play when that scope isn’t limited, as Meta require in their terms of service. It doesn’t matter what individuals say to Meta regarding their data, their prohibition is superseded by other users, who agree that they have permission to share other people’s information with Meta.
Meta isn’t breaking privacy laws - you are.
