My garbage landlord installed an overengineered gate opening mechanism for the parking lot. The system is made by an Israeli firm and you can only open it by using an app that is a privacy nightmare and asks you a ton of personal information (including full name). If you’re dumb enough, there’s also a “feature” to enable tracking your GPS position constantly so the gate opens when you’re near it.
It’s absolute garbage and there was a break in this year because any kid could figure out how to open it. I have no words.

Why is it always Israel? You would think that this would be done somewhere in the US or UK, but no.
14 hoursOn topic, but a side note…this is how come my trust in privacyguides.com tanked a few weeks ago. They fully support X and actually recommend using it. It’s a bunch of sloppy children running that site.

Can you link the privacyguides article? I used to rely on them quite a bit, so this would be disappointing to me. The only recommendations i found for social media are mastodon and element https://www.privacyguides.org/en/social-networks/#posting-content

Im not pro Israel, they can fuck themselves. But wishing nukes on people because of a company is hard man…

Hardly because of a company. You’d have to be living completely off the grid to be unaware of the atrocities being perpetrated against their neighbours

And thats why you need to nuke them?
I hope for the death of bibi and his friends. And for an uprising of the fight against them, but nukimg them would make us worse then them.

That wasn’t my comment, I was just pointing out that reducing the argument against Israel to “one company is bad” is severely downplaying the situation.

No way, an Israeli company founded by Israeli spies is spying on people who speak out against Israeli crimes.

Sometimes I have to wonder, what’s it going to take to make people leave X?
I mean, it was a shithole even before Musk bought it, 4 years ago, and it’s gotten predictably and steadily worse ever since.

Now I have to remove LinkedIn - this a good reason! It over reduces my cyber footprint overall. I only have it bc it’s required for a places that I’ve applied about 60-70%.

They did me the favor of removing my account when they asked for my ID “to protect my identity”.

It’s a live experiment. How much a platform can enshittify before people leave? We are still going to find it out.
You can’t make this stuff up.
A service requiring users to upload verifiable identification info, created and staffed by literal government spooks. And – what?!? – they’re using said data inappropriately?
@dessalines weird to see their Wikipedia page reads like an ad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AU10TIX

It wildly depends on the articles/topic, but yes, it’s generally not trustworthy. Especially anything politics or corporate, but sometimes articles on objective topics can have issues.
