Using Tor one of the best ways to be anonymous online, but this only works because everything becomes randomized all the time. However, all these protections become useless when you create an account and then use tor on it: they know it's you because you're the only one who owns that account. But all this doesn't matter until you start sharing public info that is linkable to your private/personal identity, making anything else in this world to anonymize you useless. Like I said, tor isn't a "instant privacy with no downside" as everything can crumble down with a simple OPsec error.

So, if you are interested in privacy there are a couple resources which will help :

• Privacy Guides ( /c/privacyguides on lemmy.one)
• Anonymous Planet (anonymousplanet.org)
• Extreme Privacy by Michael Bazzell

Haha fair. Did it taste as good as it looks?

What meat did you use? All look mouthwatering and makes me want to go to the deli right now for some...

aswell as sync.

It would seem so awkward (to me atleast) if I were to randomly say "I was browsing all" as it makes no sense in a way. Would "I was browsing /c/all" be better? No clue lol.

If you hadn't said AI in the title, I would has been clueless lol. It's more than scary at this point, but also beautiful - excited to see the direction AI will take.

Good news is that if lemmy.world doesn't choose to defed Threads, all you have to do is migrate to another instance which does! One of the better benefits of this over Reddit.

Holy shit that looks realistic. I'm on /r/all (idk what the Lemmy term is for it) and thought this was a random picture from the pics subreddit. Fascinating how good this AI has become! Are the prompts complicated, or are they far simpler to create now?

That would be pretty wasteful on the Tor bandwidth, unless it is necessary for you to hide your Lemmy activity from the glowies. Realistically all you would need would be a VPN, but I do not think our IPs are publicly accessible on Lemmy, and only visible to the instance admins, so another not so worrisome worry. All in all, just limit what you share and how much of it you share and you will be good.

Currently I do use a VPN, though it's not because of Lemmy that I do so, it's the general threat model that I made which causes me to use a VPN. I do not recommend it to others which have no use for a VPN, specially if they have not made a threat model yet.

Remember, OPsec is what kills privacy and creates linkability, something which you do not.

cryptostorm, perfect-privacy, njalla, airvpn, protonvpn, windscribe. there's alot.

How is privacy related to safety? I don't understand how you think one extension makes you private, please explain

Guessing this is in relation to the situation happening in France, anyone know?

It's very easy to de-drm using calibre, but yeah, agreed.

Which also used to spread adware through their applications (search Cross Rider I believe, now names Kape)

I would recommend applying for MAM then, they have an extremely helpful community, and special groups for different genres of books, which have recommended me a ton of books I've really enjoyed.

p.s. one of the easiest private trackers to stay in, so don't let that intimidate you!

Privacy != Safety. Chromium is one of the safest browsers, and nothing will change that unless Google themselves add malware.

Although, yes, Manifest V3 is killing ublock and other extensions. Switch to Firefox!

Happy Canada Day to you all. Avec <3 du Quebec
