Is this a shitpost? I’m confused as to how they’d verify if your accounts are compromised without knowing your basic info.

Well I just tried it on 3 browsers and 2 mobile browsers and they all say i have to be a paid member to read the articles. I’ll watch the video then but I much rather read.
I can’t read the damn articles because the site is paywalled…I much rather read an article than listen to a 45 minute podcast. That is why I asked you to summarize. Thanks for being unhelpful though!
Also, the podcast stream itself has like 2 minute ads interrupting me every time i skip forwards or backwards. For a source so dedicated to anti-intrusive advertising, it sure as hell is riddled to fuck with intrusive advertisements. Thanks for the amazing source ;-).

Gonna need to see a source on that one, please.
Can you summarize their findings? Did they find evidence that this is being done in the wild without opt in or disclosure? Just because it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s being used. Obviously the tech to spy on people via microphone isn’t crazy complicated. The question is whether most apps use it. The amount of data that would be uploaded on people’s data plans would be absurd. I’m very skeptical that this is actually widely used in mainstream apps.
There have been SO many tests of this and not a single one has showed this actually happening… Just because one single company tried to brag about a tech project to get free PR doesn’t mean this is actually used…
Every single example of this happening is anecdotal. The people who tried to properly investigate this have not found it to be true. If you find a video of an actual serious research who proves this is true then I’ll admit that I’m wrong. Otherwise these types of posts are useless
If you disable the Google app it will disable lens. You’re welcome.
Huh? I know… But why would you upvote shitposts like this for visibility? Isn’t that the exact opposite of what it should be used for? Do you purposely upvote shitposts “for visibility?” If so, fuck you lol.
Yet idiots keep upvoting it. Lemmy really isn’t any better than Reddit. I’ll get down voted for saying this though because apparently it’s taboo to criticize lemmy. We have to pretend like it’s somehow magically protected from all the things that made reddit suck ass.

People still use tumblr? Lol why?
Is it just me or am i the only one who simply just backs up the bookmark files? There are like 2 files. The html list and the actual bookmark file. Takes like 5 seconds to do it.
Hmmm that’s odd then i really don’t know. I don’t think i ever run into this.
I never have issues like you’ve described. Sounds like a vpn thing.
You could always simply not use android auto or carplay? Surely that would be a start.
I did not know that. Thank you for correcting me.
How are you at all surprised by these permissions? It’s the fucking Facebook app.
Also why is this posted on Firefox? It’s the duckduckgo app…
Come on people…
Edit: I didn’t know Mull was a Firefox fork. I apologize.
You can specify where you want the temp download folder to be fyi. It’s in the normal settings. Just make a folder in like C:/firefox temp files and have it dump all that shit in there.
Fair enough. I completely agree that the feature creep is concerning and aggravating. I think it comes down to them trying to grow adoption of the browser and services. Mozilla has like a 1% market share. I’ll still use it over chrome or edge. At least we can disable all the bullshit in about:config or just not sign up for the extra services.
