FreeTube, a way to use YouTube privately & still follow your favorite channels.

FreeTube is a YouTube client for Windows, Mac, and Linux built around using YouTube more privately. You can enjoy your favorite content and creators without your habits being tracked. All of your user data is stored locally and never sent or published to the internet. FreeTube grabs data by scraping the information it needs (with either local methods or by optionally utilizing the Invidious API). With many features similar to YouTube, FreeTube has become one of the best methods to watch YouTube privately on desktop.

How to stop big tech watching you.

Obvious points:

1. Destroy your google home, amazon alexa, apple home ect, it is admitted fact these devices record every word you say.
2. Don't use any 'smart' cameras, doorbells or other devices promoted by big tech, it is also admitted fact that these devices are spying on you.
3. Do not take your stock devices anywhere you would like not to be tracked and listened to.

Less obvious tips;

1. Never use google/fb authentication to login to websites.
2. Use a degoogled / open source OS phone like ours.
3. Never login to google on a degoogled device, not even email. If you really need to read emails from your degoogled phone, setup forwarding to an app like k9-mail.
4. Never connect to your home WIFI without a VPN enabled on your device. The best way to do this is to setup a VPN on your router.
5. Cleanup google account settings, sign off all devices. Google forces 2fa if it knows you have logged in to a mobile device.
6. Regularly clear cookies on all browsers you use. This ensures web worker scripts by google are not able to run.
7. Always disable location on all your apps except for those you trust (privacy device recommended)
8. Never connect accounts together, avoid using google contacts.
9. Practice browser isolation. Isolate big tech activity to chrome and other stuff to degoogled chromium for example. (privacy device recommended)
10. Do not associate your identity with any new accounts you make, use a new email. (privacy device recommended)

Discord's new TOS looks like something out of 1984.

Duckduckgo announces controls to search results, to remove anything authorities deem untrue.

Just as i and many others warned, what is going on currently is the normalisation of total authoritarian control over information.
The war is being used as justification for just that.

Apple is Still Tracking You Without Consent

https://sneak.berlin/20220409/apple-is-still-tracking-you-without-consent/

In the current version of macOS, Monterey, on every system update on a system containing an M1 chip, such as all the new shiny/fast ARM (β€œApple Silicon”) macs, the update process phones home to Apple to obtain a special boot signature, known in Apple jargon as a β€œticket”.

It does this in a totally unencrypted fashion, over standard plaintext port 80 HTTP (the exact same protocol they banned for use by third party app developers in the App Store when transmitting private data like unique identifiers that serve as PII) to the host gs.apple.com. The HTTP request includes unchangable hardware unique identifiers (chip serial numbers known as ECIDs) that function as a supercookie, and it is visible to your local LAN, your ISP (or hotel or coffee shop), anyone monitoring the network backbones, and of course Apple.

This permits anyone listening to see the approximate location of the device, even if they are not proximate to it, because they can observe the client IP (which is equivalent to approximately city-level geolocation) and the serial number of the device.
Nigeria Ties All Sim Cards to National ID System

Nigerians whose SIM cards are not linked to their National Identity Number (NIN), a mandatory digital ID system, won’t be able to make phone calls, starting this week. The partial block is a tone down from the previous threat of a total block.

The National Communications Commission (NCC) and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) released a joint statement saying they were not going to postpone the deadline again. Initially, the deadline was December 31, 2020; it has been postponed ten times since then, with the latest postponed deadline being March 31, 2022.

β€œOutgoing calls will subsequently be barred for telephone lines that have not complied with the NIN-SIM linkage Policy from the 4th of April, 2022. Subscribers of such lines are hereby advised to link their SIMs to their NINs before the Telcos can lift the restriction on their lines.

β€œAffected individuals are hereby advised to register for their NINs at designated centers and thereafter link the NINs to their SIMs through the channels provided by NIMC and the Telcos, including the NIMC mobile App.”
