pogmommy@lemmy.mlto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Your guide to a new File Storage service! (NEW)English7·13 days agoHonestly the only drawback is if you don’t already do selfhosting, NextCloud is kind of a big undertaking. If you’re already familiar with containerization and networking basics, it’s very smooth.
pogmommy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet sharedEnglish61·13 days agoGod that’s ridiculous… the image hash depends on the image not having changed at all from the one uploaded by the user. If they’re screenshotted and cropped, or sent via a messaging platform that compresses them, they’ll be visually similar enough to not matter, and different enough to have a different hash. So, Zuck gets a free peek at your your nudes, and all you get is a false sense of security.

Thats super impressive, I’m gonna see if I can get it set up and running real quick because I just gave up on remote access on Sway when I last tried to check out the options.

Samsung and others OEMs have little incentive to collaborate with privacy-oriented roms because a large part of their business models depend on the surveillance baked into their technology. They’re only interested in security as far as it frees them from liability, or can be used as worthwhile PR. They might not be based out of the US or China, but they do still operate in said countries and are all too happy to comply with data or unlock requests.

pogmommy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•The Browser Company, makers of Arc, launches Dia, an AI-first browser.English101·30 days agoSo they traded in their dumb primary product for an even dumber product that will die with the fad of cramming ai into absolutely everything. That confirms there’s no reason to ever trust “the browser company” to make a product worth investing in.

pogmommy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft pulls MS365 Business Premium from nonprofitsEnglish3·2 months agoDepending on what you’re using it for, the gsuite office alternatives are incredibly feature-sparse. Last I checked, a lot of essential features such as accessibility checking and scripting either have nightmarish implementation, or require third-party addons. It also requires an internet connection and can’t save in-progress documents to your local storage.
Honestly the only leg up over the others that I think the GSuite really has is the seamless collaboration features.

WhatsApp being not as bad as it used to be is a low bar that doesn’t really speak to any sort of reliability or trustworthiness
Not feasibly, no. If a centralized platform like bluesky refuses to abide by the laws in a given country, their platform can be made inaccessible in that country. Trying to do that to countless activitypub-compliant servers wouldn’t be practical since you van just hop to another server.
