There’s worse.
They already know everything about me anyways. If I can exchange my data for some free and easy to use service, I’m more than happy to give.
I hate defeatism.
Its not even defeatism, its willingly sacrificing themselves to the machine in hopes it will be merciful!
“i don’t have anything to hide” mfs when their passwords get leaked:
“chrome was hogging up my ram” is the dumbest part of all of this lmao, this person’s decisionmaking is completely driven by placebo and it’s hilarious
If it wasnt beaten by this, it comes a very close 2nd: “Firefox is trash at loading HTML websites”.
You can tell that fucker spends their time gibbering techno waffle bollcoks to old people!
I mean, yeah, privacy isn’t really a thing in our digital surveillance age. Doesn’t mean I’m not gonna make it as hard as possible for them. Make em work for it.
The claim to have “nothing to hide” was not just born our of ignorance, but also out of comfort - to not having to do anything about it.
Now that even the last one accepted that they do indeed have something to hide, but in order to justify their own inaction, it’s labeled as inevitable: privacy is not real.
They are lying to themselves, because doing otherwise would mean they have to admit being wrong.
I use Edge on my work laptop because:
- Vertical Tabs
- Logs into my SSO account
- Leaks info from my computer like a sieve (it’s my employer’s info, and they don’t deserve privacy)
A lot of people have just accepted surviellance for convienience.
People close to me get TSA precheck even though it requires fingerprinting, because “the government already has your fingerprints”
But if they did, why would they need to ask your for them?
Sorry for devil’s advocate here because I agree with you but hypothetically the answer would be verification. ie., Google already has your password, so why would they need to ask you for it when you log in?
Depending on what people do, the government already has their fingerprints.
Personally, I work around schools so I had to get a background check and fingerprinted for that. I also am licensed to handle explosives, both federally and at the state level. I been fingerprinted for that. I’ve gone through TSA for hazmat endorsement on a commercial driver’s license. That needed fingerprints and a background check.
Getting fingerprinted to get through airport security is the least of my privacy concerns.
But my threat model isn’t the TSA. They aren’t a concern of mine, although I do opt out of their facial recognition.
I am concerned with internet surveillance, corporate surveillance, and communication surveillance.
If you’ve gone to jail they totally have your prints already. Fingerprints are identifying information for such a thing. How else would they do that?
NormiesbotsDamn, how did you get three complete troglodytes in one place?
Reddit
“If people say edge is bad they should consider thinking about your windows 11 os lol”
Never say privacy. Always say libre software. That’s why.
chromium is still ‘libre’ though, so I don’t think that’s enough
Get off Reddit. Karma grind is not worth it.
Agree, I am primarily on lemmy now. People here are way nicer to each other than Reddit
People here are way nicer to each other than Reddit
If one has the right kind of opinions. 🤷
Yeah, I agree with that
Maybe the communites that I am in is too wholesome ¯_(ツ)_/¯
An excuse to still be right.
“hello i am u/NotBillGates and I agree with this message”
Off-topic, but I do agree in general that Edge is a solid browser. I use it when I’m at work and really love the vertical tabs and tab groups. I use firefox for personal use and am patiently waiting for the vertical tabs on the stable release (and not just in about:config).
