What Trump supporters believe and expect
  • Validated voters

    Members of Pew Research Center’s nationally representative American Trends Panel were matched to public voting records from national commercial voter files in an attempt to find records for voting in the 2016 and 2020 general elections. Validated voters are citizens who told us in a post-election survey that they voted in a given election and have a record for voting in that election in a commercial voter file. Nonvoters are citizens who were not found to have a record of voting in any of the voter files or told us they did not vote.

    In an effort to accurately locate official voting records, up to three commercial voter files were searched for each panelist. The number of commercial files consulted varied by when a panelist was recruited to the ATP. Three files were used for panelists recruited in 2022 or before, while one file was used for panelists recruited in 2023. Altogether, files from four different vendors were used, including two that serve conservative and Republican organizations and campaigns, one that serves progressive and Democratic organizations and campaigns, and one that is nonpartisan.

    Additional details and caveats about the validation of votes in 2016 and 2020 can be found in these methodological reports:

    I believe you gotta go to each survey they've done for each of the widget to find out the source. I think they're all based on the voter registration

    The internet has changed. Privacy left behind

    As we rushed into the Web 2 era, privacy was left behind. There was a naive view that users could consent to something that was impossible to understand. The result was tracking and monitoring of every activity.

    I chatted to Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, Co-Founder of Brave, and the Co-founder of Mozilla. We talk about how the privacy landscape evolved on the internet, and the future of our technology-driven world.

    00:00 The Serfs Have to Band Together! 00:51 Why Privacy Matters 04:30 Privacy Nihilism 06:29 The Rise of Extensions 11:48 Brave and Ads 15:06 Privacy is Now Marketable 16:31 Bridging the Divide Between Users 19:58 They Are Profiling You 21:50 Incentive for Government Control 23:30 Tech Optimism 24:48 Users Matter Most 28:57 Companies Can Make a Big Difference 31:47 UBlock Origin and Google 33:23 There is No End to Security 36:14 Braves Large Movement of Users 37:37 Decentralization Pays Off 38:00 Users Can Tilt Markets 38:55 What the Future Holds 39:39 Privacy Acceleration

    We need more tools that make it possible to not only maintain privacy, but to still have a user-friendly experience at the same time. We, as users, need to fight back and demand it.

    How do you folks set time boundaries for this game?

    Want to get the DLC and start over but I'm a little afraid to sink in too many hours since there's always improvements to be made

    Is sharing links to interesting privacy YouTube discouraged here?

    Want to share a link to a recent interview with Brave's co founder and which I found interesting. Is that something that fits this group or better posted elsewhere?

    Do people enjoy Proton's 90s YouTube videos?

    Proton has been uploading short 1.5 minute videos on their channel, and I feel like they lack substance and don't go over any of the topics meaningfully. Do you see this format resonating with the public? Should they be making more in-depth videos?

    I'm guessing the demographic that follows Naomi Brockwell TV, for example, doesn't intersect much with the ones that might watch those shorts

    TIL - HIPAA doesn't protect data from being shared between organizations without consent

    It obviously protects against sharing data with e.g. your employer, but if a health provider chooses to make your data shareable, there are 2.2M authorized entities that can potentially access the data (identifiable health data).

    Excerpt of the video description: Most people think that HIPAA means that their medical records are kept private. But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect your privacy at all?

    This is our first video in a series about medical privacy, specifically looking at legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing.

    We focus on what HIPAA actually is, how it came to allow our data to be shared without us even knowing, how we’ve been tricked into thinking we have privacy, and steps we can take to reclaim control of our medical data.

    We deserve privacy in our medical system. Our health information is sensitive, and we should be allowed to protect it. Even while we fight for better medical privacy, please always prioritize your health.

    F-Droid APKs aren't synced with releases

    I keep getting notified that I should upgrade my newpipe apk to a newer version through a url. F-Droid only has up to v0.25.2 but the latest is v0.26.1. It's been like that for >1w (the discrepancy), is this usual for F-Droid repos? Or something with my installation is wrong?

    Any Lyft 3rd party apps out there?

    Lyft disabled scheduling rides through ride.lyft.com, I used that quite a bit but now in forced go use the app. The problem however, is that their app just doesn't work. It launches, says the Google API is necessary and then continues to close.

    Does anyone know of an app that use their API that doesn't shut itself down without installing Google SDK?

    Why does Nebula need to share my data with advertisers?

    > Advertising Partners. We may also share personal information with third parties who we partner with for advertising campaigns or that collect information about your activity on the Services for the purposes described in the "Interest-Based Advertising" section above.

    It's a paid service, wtf is this BS

    Their final reply: > I wanted to reach out as a followup to your earlier request. I spoke with some members of our product team, and it would actually appear as though we don't currently support users opting out of that particular clause in our terms of service. I also wanted to let you know that we don’t currently share user info with third parties for advertising, and as far as I can tell, we have no roadmapped plans for doing so in the future.

    Can you buy your own data tosee what they have on you?

    I saw an article awhile ago that the police just straight up bought ad-network data about someone they were prosecuting without needing a warrant. Is there anyway to know what info ad networks have on me out there?

    I know there are databrokers you can query to see what they have kn you, but those are all public records from I could find so far

    Do people automatically consent to the death voixe chat?

    I noticed quite a bit of people not knowing you can opt out of the dead voice chat recording (where it transmits your mic audio when you die for a couple of seconds).

    When I installed the game there was a prompt that asked for an opt-in, that was pretty short to read.

    Do you think people automatically click "I consent" or is the prompt not very clear?

    Aside from the lack of E2EE, why is Telegram not trustworthy?

    A lot of privacy guides suggest avoiding Telegram. I understand that in its default mode there's no E2EE (and no E2EE for groups at all). If people I know don't wanttko use Signal, isn't Telegram the lesser evil given it's nicer privacy policy (than other popular ones)?

    Say I use the FOSS version of it.
