Esoteric question time.

1. Coffee shop chains used to have plastic "rewards" cards for #tracking purchases/points.

2. They seem like they don't offer them new anymore and want you to install their mobile app instead.

3. But they still accept the plastic cards if you have one.

Q: Why can't I buy a secondhand physical card from anybody? There's seemingly no resale market even among #privacy geeks. I've looked. Seems like a golden opportunity to me....

#DEDA - #tracking Dots Extraction, Decoding and #Anonymisation #toolkit

Document Colour Tracking Dots, or yellow dots, are small systematic dots which encode information about the printer and/or the printout itself. This process is integrated in almost every commercial colour laser printer. This means that almost every printout contains coded information about the source device, such as the serial number.

Tip for those that want to follow links on #bsky without being tracked with go.bsky.social: It doesn’t apply to posts mirrored to the Fediverse.

…I have seen BlueSky critically for a long time (see above in the deprice). I am not the only person and why it has to be avoided to avoid @FediThing told us clearly. Tracking is relatively easy to redirect on the left.

Hast Du Links oder Tipps für den #boykott von #noafd Unterstützer*innen? Bisher hab ich nur #mullermilch und seine Markenauf dem Schirm.

"[We are a]n age old Digital Marketing Agency operating over 10 years in the global market
having its main office at AZ, USA. We exist for such a long only because we follow ethical business practices"

Yes, sure. VERY ethical, right? You'd never place tracking pixels into your mails for example, would you?

"Do you want me to send…" – Are you kidding? No, of course. I want you to stop that

#Tracking #email #SEO #privacy

@froge @fj I'm not replacing @signalapp with "random tools" but good options.

Like @delta & @thunderbird as well as @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim which work flawlessly over @torproject / #Tor using @tails / @tails_live / #Tails and @guardianproject / #Orbot respectably.

Also these allow not only #SelfHosting but just work and I'd highly recommend #monocles as a hoster which finances iself by users paying and allows #anonymous accoubts & payments including not just #Monero but also #CashByMail!

Considering the costs of even acquiring and upkeeping an #anonymous #SIM, I'd rather pay €2 p.m. for #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME-supported #eMail with the option of self-custody than $2,50+ p.m. just to keep a phone number.

Plus I don't run around with a #tracking device that could be used to #deanonymize me any second...

Or is anyone here expecting @Mer__edith to risk jail for life amd not comply with #CloudAct?

If #Signal was as secure as advertised, it would've been shutdown like #EncroChat and #SkyECC!

It stenches like #ANØM, because NOTHING IS FOR FREE and running a #VCmoneyBurningParty is expensive...

Speaking about priorities. Actual tracking widget takes less than 5% of the screen

Thanks @Sirs0ri for the picture
