It's have been 3 years since 2011 that I closed my social media accounts (facebook and Google Plus) and I don't need it. In my job they called me anti-social, and I told them that these websites are just a concern for privacy. The only website that I have a profile its Linkedin and even there my profile is set to be private from the public. I am probably very drastic with my privacy been in the public eyes. What you guys think about it? Do you guys don't care about privacy?

I'm using social media for various reasons. Staying in touch with friends via FB, news via Twitter etc - there are many legitimate use cases for them. 

 

The trick is not to become addicted to them, and to prevent yourself from oversharing. No one needs to know what your daily defecation is classified as on the Bristol stool scale.

I used to use social media very frequently, took a few years break (and deleted all content), but now i'm back.

Nothing too serious though and I won't try to make it serious either. A few of my friends use it excessively and it's seriously annoying when you're just trying to have a good time living it up "IRL", and they're glued to their devices... :/

Yes, is about privacy and I think that half of the 'internetz' grown ups doesn't give a damn anymore about FB, Google Plus and similar sites. Spending 6 hours at work just planting and growing crops on FarmVille isn't about being social, is just plain dumb (not me, my ex-colleagues). Remember that friends and friendship existed long time before Facebook and will exist even after wihout any problem and need to be online.

I think the same way... also in my department from my job, does not allow to surf social media during work time. But some workers don't give a damn about it.

If you don't like it, don;t want to use it or have fears for your privacy, then don;t use it. Plain and simple.

 

It's not a massive life choice, it's nothing to proud of, either using or not using social media. It's a thing that we can use if we want too.

People banging on about not using it are as bad as people banging on about using it.

Correct me if Im wrong, but you can use social media without devulging a ton of personal info. 

I dont understand the privacy issue -  one can only access things you put out there -- so its like a gun pointed at you and you supplied the ammo - only you to blame.

True but you never can trust a website like facebook... they are famous of been hijacked in the past, don't understand how someone will trust facebook with their settings.

I applaud your willpower to resist social media sites and the fact you value your privacy, macoman (Y) . Far, far too many people freely give out their private info to practically anyone or any site that asks, usually for very little benefit. Even people who are otherwise tech-savvy do this.

 

I could go into an entire rant about how foolishly people treat their privacy and how ignorant most people are to the dangers of exposing every single aspect of your life to the internet, but I won't bore everyone.

Hello,

 

Privacy is important to me, but so is collecting the scams, malware, abuses of consumer trust and violations of law that social media generates.

It's nice to have Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family I might only get to see once or twice a year.

 

Within my circle of friends we have a group chat on Facebook to plan doing things at the weekend. I personally like Facebook more for Facebook Messenger, messages can be sent from a web browser or phone. So when on the PC at home or work I can easily respond and see previous messages no matter where I sent the message from. Plus everyone seem's to be on Facebook these days and have the mobile app, so its pretty much replaced text messaging for me.

 

You don't have to give your life to social media to find it useful, all i have on Facebook is my name, some pictures and where I graduated university from. I dont feel the need to add my place of work, where i live or any other more personal info. I probably only do a couple of status updates a month too, again i don't feel the need to be updating everyone on boring little things no one would care about anyway.

 

I don't think been on social media or not is anything to be proud of either way, it can be a useful tool, however also a great time waster. Just like having a mobile phone it's what ever you make it be.

I, too, have friends and family that I keep in contact with.  I use an invention called "email" and "phone".  Used to use ICQ and Windows Messenger to chat but looks like the corporation is too greedy and control those chat system.  Now I am only use email and texting.  To OP.  Wasn't it LinkdIn was hacked and they got tons of passwords from the accounts there?

T3X4S buddy, once you create a social media account, all the info about you is there for the picking.  One of my relative made a facebook account and then went on the made another one and spot something very odd.  Her phone number was on the other account when she didn't even give that info out.

I'd love to know how that's possible? If I don't enter my phone number, how does Facebook suddenly know it? If they linked the app via a mobile then sure I get that. But that information can still be "hidden" from the public and even friends if you spend the time to go through your privacy settings.

 

I know my mobile number is against my FB profile but not even my friends can see my mobile number. If someone doesn't already have it they can ask me.

Simply put, I totally despise any of those socially diseased sites. Have never and will never use them. :x

 

If we didn't have them, maybe our kids would be a little smarter.

 

Even though I don't have any accounts, I see people's stuff that do and it's flat out nauseating what they post, at times. Talk about people who love to watch cute little kitten videos!

I understand that your friends account was cross referenced somehow with the previous account.  But one can have a fb account and not give any personal info.  Facebook wont go to 3rd party resources to get the info , so if its not entered by you, it wont be online.

My father decided to use facebook, I set up his account with the minimum info, there is really nothing online about him in fb.  He is linked with various business journals, articles, even patents and landmark lawsuits, but none of it makes its way to his fb account.

Simply put, I totally despise any of those socially diseased sites. Have never and will never use them. :x

I dont use twitter, and never post stupid updates in facebook.  My status updates in facebook are usually just quotes or just quick comments about something -- never "I am eating spaghetti" kinda of crap.

Actually, my quotes are usually Richard Feynman quotes, or other physicists, or anti-religion stuff.

I sort of agree with some sentiments shared here, I don't Social Network, have no Social Networking accounts, and Try to keep as minimal as possible online footprint, not because I'm paranoid, but because I never saw the attraction in it, in the first place, I've had friends explain it to me, and so on, and my response was always the same, the phone, email, or a text message, or in the case of overseas relatives, Skype (although I haven't used it in a while)

(does Skype count as social networking? I only used to use it because msn messenger was closed down)

I have no issues with Social Media. I use it to communicate with my Family back in Canada. I don't care if people stalk my page. I don't care if they look at my photos. I don't care if they see that I enjoy Big Bang Theory or that my Wife is smoking hot.

 

I have my privacy settings set so the information I don't want out is hidden. If you need to set your privacy settings to the same, here is how you do it:

 

1) Don't put private information online.

2) Repeat as necessary.

 

 

Is it because people are making money off of you using a product? You decide what goes on it. You decide who is your friends. How is any of that wrong?

 

The whole, "If you're not paying for it, you're the product" is bologna at best. You're using a product and they're profiting off that in one way or another. It's not "free", it never was, nothing is. We learned this when we were five.

 

If it's purely privacy. Do you think not joining Facebook is keeping them out of the loop? They still know things about you. If you have friends who have taken your picture and tagged non-linking name then Facebook has a record of you. It also clearly has facial recognition software and if they were so inclined could likely find out a lot about you. At least if you're on Facebook you can un-tag yourself (which likely does nothing, it's on the books).

 

Anyways, people have such a fascination with privacy. I'm surprised some people go outside in fear that their face is seen. I'm not going to try and make the, "If you have nothing to hide..." argument, because I agree that's a lame argument. But I'm not understanding your argument either.

 

 

You live, you die, you're remembered than you're forgotten. I personally rather I'm remembered for longer than I'm forgotten. I don't care one iota who it is that remembers me. Even if it's not Human.

You can use social Media and still stay fairly anonymous and private, if you know my full name or even with my first name good luck actually finding me without a whole lot of work 

 

It's all about not being narcissistic and assuming everyone actually cares or wants your info, most of my friends and family don't need or want all my details on any site. Hell recently an aunt had to almost beg for me to take a selfie, she hadn't seen me in like 15 years, there are maybe 5-6 pictures of me on the net because I don't need any of that on it

    • An oversimplified explanations of Passkeys

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Passkeys: Think of them like a broken heart necklace. Imagine one of those heart necklaces that breaks into two matching pieces. One person keeps one half, and the other person keeps the other half. With passkeys, the website has one half, and you have the other half. If the website gets hacked and someone steals its half, that stolen piece is useless by itself. It cannot unlock your account without your matching half. This particular heart necklace is one of a kind, there is only one in existence. Your half of the necklace has to be stored somewhere. It might be stored on your phone, tablet, computer, security key, or a password manager that can sync it between all your devices. A security key is a small physical device that you keep with you, kind of like a house key, car key, or flash drive. I would not usually recommend a security key as the first option for the average person. For most people, it is easier to use their phone, computer, or a password manager that can sync passkeys between their devices. A security key is more like a spare key you keep in a safe place, just in case you lose access to your other devices or your password manager. Some security keys plug into your computer. Some plug into your phone or tablet. Some do not plug in at all and instead get tapped against your device. The idea is simple: a security key can hold another passkey for the same website. Think of it like creating a second one-of-a-kind heart necklace for the same account. One necklace could be paired with your password manager, while another necklace could be paired with your security key. That means the website has more than one matching half on file. One half matches the passkey in your password manager. Another half matches the passkey stored on your security key. So, if you lose access to your phone, computer, or password manager, you would still be able to log in using the passkey stored on your security key. Think of it like keeping an extra special necklace piece on a tiny keychain, stored somewhere safe. The website still has the matching half for that security key, but your half is safely stored inside the little key. A passkey does not automatically exist on every device you own. It lives wherever you save it. If your half is stored on one device, then that device is the one that has the matching piece. For example, if you create the passkey on your Windows computer and it is only saved to that computer, your iPhone does not automatically have that same half. If you create it on your iPhone and it only stays on that iPhone, your Android phone does not automatically have it either. That is where password managers come in. A password manager can act like a protected jewelry box for your passkeys. Instead of your half of the necklace being locked to only one device, the password manager can securely sync that half to your other approved devices. For example, Apple Passwords and iCloud Keychain can sync passkeys between your Apple devices. Google Password Manager can sync passkeys with your Google account. But password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can sync passkeys between everything, your phones, tablets and computers. Now, you might ask: “What happens if I lose access to the device that has my passkey?” That depends on where your passkey was saved and what recovery options the website gives you. If your passkey was synced through a password manager, you may be able to sign in from another device that has access to that same password manager. For example, if your passkey is saved in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or Bitwarden, another approved device may still have access to it. If your passkey was saved only on one phone, computer, or security key, and you lose that device, then you may not have your half of the necklace anymore. In that case, you would usually need to use the website’s backup login or account recovery options. A lot of websites that support passkeys still let you fall back to your regular password. So if you lose access to your passkey, the site may still let you log in with your password, a code sent to your email, a text message, a recovery code, or some other account recovery process. That is convenient, but it is also important to understand: if the website still allows password login, then your password still matters. Passkeys are safer than passwords, but if your account still has a password as a backup, you should still use a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This is why it is a good idea to have more than one safe way back into important accounts. For example, you might keep your passkey in a syncing password manager, add a second trusted device, save recovery codes somewhere safe, or set up a backup security key. A passkey is very secure, but just like a real key, you need a backup plan in case you lose access to it. Now, you might ask: “What stops a hacker from copying my half of the necklace?” That’s the important part: your half is protected. It is not something you type in, and it is not something the website gets to keep. Think of your half as being locked inside a tiny safe on your phone, computer, security key, or password manager. That safe only opens when you approve it with your fingerprint, face, PIN, or device password. When you log in, the website does not need to see your half. It only needs proof that your half matches its half. Your actual half is not handed over to the website. This is different from a password. With a password, you type the secret into the website. If you type it into a fake website, the hacker now has it. With a passkey, you are not typing your secret into the website. Your device is proving you have the matching half without giving the half away. That also helps protect you from fake websites. If someone makes a fake login page that looks like the real site, your device can tell it is not the real match. It will not use your passkey there. Now, could someone use your passkey if they stole your device, got into your password manager, or somehow unlocked the safe that holds your half? Yes, that is why your device password, PIN, fingerprint, face unlock, and password manager security still matter. But a hacker cannot just steal your passkey from the website or trick you into typing it into a fake page like they can with a password. That is why passkeys are safer than passwords. The two matching pieces have to come together, like two lovebirds who were once separated and are finally reunited.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      I heard from a lot of people that driver support for the latest games when RDNA first came out (Radeon 5000 series) was pretty bad, but if you didn't buy the card on day one, or were not trying to play the latest titles, then you were isolated from that issue. Other than that, it's been good and only getting better.
    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
