EU eIDAS: VPNs won't protect Europeans privacy if law passes, experts warn by Sylocule in c/[email protected]

No, that was different. eIDAS is certificate based - those that care will just use a VPN to download a non-EU compliant browser build and only surf with the VPN on. At least that’s my plan.

WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It's revealed some more details on how that will work.

— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.

— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp's standards

— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won't become interoperable

Are there any other websites besides YouTube where a Pi-hole can't block ads? by Sylocule in c/[email protected]

Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. This is because they serve the ads from the same domain as the content

Here in Spain there’s minimal surveillance outside the big cities. My town (circa 40K residents) has no public cameras in town (I lived in the UK and they were everywhere).

Overall, probably way better but the future is uncertain and unemployment is terrible. No Spanish governments seem to have the answer to this. We’re far too reliant on tourism and the pandemic hit hard, with some not recovering despite the support given.

I believe UBI will never come to pass because the rich have too much to lose. Imagine a workforce not beholden to the capitalists?

Now that Plex is dead, where to find servers/what platform? by Sylocule in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

Plex are banning Hetzner IPs because libraries are hosted there and shared with thousands. I see people are moving to Emby/JellyFin because Plex is trying to become the next Netflix app OS trying to clean up what they see as pirated content

I live in Spain. It’s absolutely not true. They’re more akin to the American Republicans that want to limit people’s rights in things like abortion, euthanasia, etc. They’re praise Franco any chance they get

I live in Spain

The main issue for the left is the right wing press continuously attacks and they don’t have much to counter it. This pushes the swing voters towards the PP (Party Popular) which was in government until brought down by Sanchez in a vote of no confidence following a scandal. PSOE subsequently one an election and governs with other left wing parties.

The left, at least, has Yolanda Díaz. She has united the left that are not PSOE into an alliance called Sumar that’s pushing back hard against the right. She’s a labour lawyer and has done a lot for the working class. Hopefully they’ll remember this tomorrow.
