lifehack: whenever public wifi asks you for your email, instead of giving it to them, do this ONE NEAT TRICK

look at the name of the company trying to collect it (it will never be the restaurant or cafe, always some soulless data brokering tech firm) and type in "sales" or "hello" @companyname.website

give them a taste of their own medicine!!

Durante los años 2016, 2017 y 2018 estuve por Buenos Aires donde estudié una maestría en seguridad informática. Acá les cuento un poco sobre la experiencia

I was wrong about Google and Facebook: there’s nothing wrong with them (so say we all)

It’s always difficult admitting you’re wrong. But sometimes you have to in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. So, today, I admit that I was wrong about Google, Facebook, & surveillance capitalism in general being toxic for our human rights and democracy … it simply cannot be true given how they are endorsed by some of the most well-respected organisations in the world.

@nicod_ @rbonifaz

Good question... Does anyone have an old account we can try this with?

You have a limited amount of time in this world. You decide whether to spend it being “neutral” (legitimising trillion-dollar surveillance capitalists) or working with those of us trying to raise awareness about their abuses so we can actually regulate them and get funding for ethical alternatives that don’t rely on them. If you’re doing the former don’t you dare criticise those doing the latter. We’re not the ones punching down and we don’t owe you an explanation for doing the right thing.

“Google Public DNS Service (8.8.8.8) Now Supports DNS-over-TLS #Security Feature […] It not just helps in hiding your web-browsing history from ISPs and eavesdroppers, but also prevents DNS spoofing attacks.”

Am I the only paranoid guy who thinks that if I'm asking Google for a domain name, I'm effectively telling Google I'm accessing said domain?
