    Sounds like it’s time to leak a bunch of politician nudes to show them why encryption matters.

    Added this article to idcaboutprivacy.

    The project is open source and only requires basic Markdown knowledge to contribute.

    If you have any other privacy-related articles (especially those that talk about consequences), it’d be great for you to contribute.

      This has quite a lot of links already. I feel like it would be very useful to make some sort of “Wiki” about this.

        Thanks. All links have been just me so far, but I do think the project has some real value and would benefit from contributions.

        What kind of wiki did you have in mind? What would it do?

          It could serve both as an explanation of concepts and references to the sources, just like Wikipedia. Ex: it could have pages about Kindle, about Chrome etc. detailing the privacy problems, the timeline of news about them and so on…

          Sure it would be a lot of work to have a lot of information, but if it’s something other people can help contribute it could actually grow as a knowledge repository on this subject.

            Interesting… I like the idea of referencing, or creating some sort of tagging/category system. I’m not sure about pushing it to limits like a Wikipedia, solely because it’d be so much content to manage.

            But hey, that’s why I made it open source. With the help of the community, it makes a lot more feasible to create and handle. So never say never on that.

      In our defence, Boris Johnson is an idiot cunt.

      Yeah, iOS/iPadOS isn’t great for that, so far as I can tell. I spent am unreasonable amount of time the other day trying to work out how to get the Obsidian vault on my iPad to sync with the vault in my SyncThing folder. Still not entirely happy with my setup. In fairness though, I’m running SyncThing on three computers, and two of them are Macs. So its solid on there.

      But other than that, SyncThing isn’t a great replacement for iCloud Drive because you can’t choose what you download. So if I have 200gb in my ST folder I can’t sync it with my 128gb phone.

        did you try to use syncthing’s filters?

          I didn’t.

          I must admit, I don’t really know how it all works and am mostly just blindly picking my way through, appreciating what works at this moment in time.

      I’m all for hating on corporations but did you even read the article? This is completely on the UK government. Not apples fault and I’d much rather they stop offering the service to UK customers (which they did) over putting a backdoor in
