@Noob I am not sure what you mean 😅
-

-

Hey, Personally, I'm totally with you with privacy issues, I think all companies that store our information and all are really intrusive. But in fact, if you ask me all my username / password, the only reason I would not give them is very much, I do not want you to post things or send emails with my name ^^ . But if you want to see my messages and know what I buy, it will only be boring (but maybe because I'm rather silent on social media and if i but something online it'll be a skyrim t-shirt or a video game) :/
-
@Krayorn But that part of you not wanting tme to post emails/send emails is a very much part of the whole privacy thingy :)
Also, welcomes very muchies! -
++ this, so much. privacy is so little to do with what you don't want the government to see — it's about the right to keep things to yourself.
PS. I have some Keybase invites, if anyone would like. There are no DMs on devRant, but leave me your email or Twitter handle or something if you're interested. -
@Krayorn Athough I only partly agree with your comment, I'd like to be your first upvoter so hereby =D

@linuxxx, hum i don't totally get it ! Could you explain a bit more please ? I mean, facebook tell my friend what i have liked, or twitter tell them that i follow someone, but that's actually "public stuff", they never send a tweet or an email and pretends that it's from me. This is a very interesting subject, i already saw some of your other rants about that subject and i learned a lot, but obviously i have a serious lack of knowledge on the subject !
And Thanks ^^ -
@Krayorn I don't think I am entirely getting what you mean :) And you're most welcome!
-
@linuxxx humph sorry, my english isn't really good.
In which way the fact that I don't want that someone post in my name is related to the privacy issue. I see the big companies like someone who is reading behind my shoulder but they don't speak for me, or am i totally wrong ? -
@Krayorn Oh don't worry about your English, it's alright! And I mean as in like, if you 'don't have anything to hide', you wouldn't mind anyone posting something on your behalf (in your name), would you? (if I am not clear enough please say so!)
-
@linuxxx ho, you are perfectly clear thanks !
The reason i don't want someone to post on my behalf is more related to the fact that i don't want to be associated with something i don't support. But i don't think that actually the companies that get my data actually do that and that's why i'm still on windows and on Social media even if i think about switching to linux and start focus more about the privacy of my data. -
@linuxxx kinda...
I read about it some time ago (a year? Maybe more) but somehow it flew under my radar, until today, tbh, when the response of gtoff ringed a bell, so I decided to take a look and start to test it's features... -
@linuxxx Doctor - Patient confidentiality agreement. He knows stuff about you but he keeps it to himself only. Same as a lawyer.
Unfortunately it's not the case with those companies that steal our data. -
@stukongeluk that username sounds very negative in Dutch 😅
-
@linuxxx haha well I am dutch so it means what you think it means😏
-
@Stukongeluk Yup Dutch here too so I know :P
-
@linuxxx serious question: is there actually anyone with whom you have encrypted email conversations?
I've never had to email someone who I could send an encrypted email

Privacy is a legend
Had a conversation with someone a little while ago. I opened my email app (TutaNota) and he asked what the hell that email thingy was. Explained the encrypted/privacy reasons.
"Why would you encrypt everything?"
Because I have stuff to hide. Do you?
"Nahh I just use outlook, I have nothing to hide".
Told him to email me all his usernames/passwords, bank statements, porn preferences, emails, messages etc etc.
"But that's private data!".
Exactly.
"But I thought you meant like crime/illegal stuffs etc"
Nope. I just asked if you had anything to hide, you interpreted that as having anything non-lawfully to hide. I never even asked anything in relation to non-lawful stuff.
Because, having something to hide doesn't mean it's criminal/illegal, it means you'd like to keep that stuff private.
