I think it could be a great solution. I’ve never considered it before. That said there’s one sticking point for me:

Apportion payment to developers based on software use by paid users and the size of their contribution to that software.

That^ . That needs a lot more detail. If they provide solid details – details that most can agree on – then I will actually be on board with the solution.

Labeling datasets is costly process. When you dont opt out, you’re letting them build a labelled dataset on you-specifically for free.

Same for me: just say no, and they say OK. Effortless but the option is totally invisible.

The irony is, I’ve seen the staff stop using the face scanner for everyone halfway through the line to speed things up. So its not saving time, just costing money to increase surveillance.

Yeah, cookies, account logins, and other stuff make it hard too. Ex: randomly exploring gmail emails at different times of day, but not actually marking emails as read.

Psychology. Ever see ring doorbell footage where the owner says “drop the package” and people do? Its not like the owner could do anything, but for some reason it makes people behave differently.

Here’s a very similar question I asked here a few months ago: “Privacy respecting ring doorbell” https://lemm.ee/post/8165932

The clients are source available for telegram though

I mean technically the client is verifiable if you use discord in a browser tab… and verify it every time you load the web page… 🙃

Partially buried housing (ground cooling effect)

Distros should ship with this this under /readme.jpg

Cool, this is exactly what I was hoping to learn but couldn’t find. It sounds like its still a pretty manual process, but thats okay. If thats how it is righ now, then thats exactly what I want to know.

I’m considering making tools (GUI local app, but also website AUTH frontend/backend tooling) to try and make systems like this more commonplace and standardized. I didn’t know about revocation keys, so I’m glad I heard about that before trying to build my own.

Nailed it

Yeah, sorry I incrementally edited the title before posting and accidentally made it make no sense. I meant publicly announce that a private key was compromised

I don’t see anywhere in his comment(s) where he says something postive about privacy guides.

For context, Tea (the cli tool) was created by the author of homebrew. But for some reason he changed the name to pkgx and made tea into the crypto thing: From the creator of Homebrew, Tea raises $8.9M to build a protocol that helps open source developers get paid

He’s probably interested in blocking these kinds of PR’s.

It gets worse :/

I looked up the brand (Invenda). Their PDF includes “using AI”, “measuring foot traffic”, and gathering “gender/age/etc” e.g. facial recognition to estimate a persons age and gender

And in terms of “stored locally” this is straight from their website

The machine comes with a “brain” – Invenda OS – and is connected to the Invenda Cloud, which allows you to manage it remotely and gather valuable environmental, consumer and transactional data. The device can be branded according to your requirements to further enhance your brand presence.

The marketing also so fricken backwards that it reads like satire:

For a consumer, there’s no greater comfort than shopping pressure-free. Invenda Wallet allows consumers to browse, select and pay for products leisurely and privately 🤦‍♂️

I get the sentiment. Do you have an alternative way to pay people across the world anonymously?
