Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn't use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.

“We are going to have a crash, and we’re going to have a crash like a 1929" I guess in some sense he was right.

"We and our 848 partners store and access personal data, by clicking accept..." That's a hard pass on the cookie policy for me.

Well that was a terrifying read.

Will listen and thanks for the post, not generally a huge Destiny fan but he does have a good way of articulating/navigating political points of view in a debate.

When you enable Find My Device, your device participates in a crowdsourced network that collects location data from various Android devices. This means that your device will not only send its own location information but also receive and process location data from other devices in the network.

While Google claims that this data is anonymized and encrypted, there remains a risk that sensitive information could be exposed if security measures fail or if the data is accessed by unauthorized parties.

In other words, there are significant privacy implications as far as I'm concerned.

Lol, this picture of Trump reminds me of a common good luck bringing Maneki-neko cat.

Thanks for the reply, aside from not getting much interest in this post I really appreciate the two open source apps you've suggested on Fdroid.

I use Island currently, but it's outdated now, and Shelter seems like the way to go. I also didn't know about the contacts app that you suggested, but I will check it out for sure. Cheers again.

It's sad that I can't read the link without giving over all my data through the sites egregious cookie consent policy.

Looks crazy yum and healthy, nice looking plate!

 

Hi all, I'm looking into ways to protect my privacy while using WhatsApp, particularly in a professional setting where separating personal and work-related communications is crucial. I'm thinking of buying a dual SIM phone and am considering strategies to sandbox my personal contacts, pictures, and media from those associated with my work profile on WhatsApp.

Has anyone successfully done this using two SIM cards on the same device? I'm staunchly anti-Facebook and its obtrusive privacy-related practices, so ideally I want to prevent cross-contamination of personal and work-related data, including contacts, photos, and media shared through the app. Will this be a good strategy? Are there any known risks or precautions I should take to minimize the risk of my data being shared or accessed by third parties? - Thanks all, I'd appreciate any comments.

Firefox is among the most secure mainstream browsers. Still, there are some loose ends. I recently stumbled upon this post that features Firefox privacy recommendations and tweaks to strengthen Mozilla browser security.

There are plenty of third party apps for Lemmy on Android/iPhone or Web, but are there any decent apps built for desktop use? Is it just simply a matter of relying on a web interface currently, or are there any well rounded apps out there that are worth mentioning.
