New feature is up: The Cameras Tracking You Are A Security Nightmare youtu.be/uB0gr7Fh6lY

I read Amazon's privacy policy yesterday, here's the cut down stream with all the important bits! youtu.be/H0MugdUnH7M

Hello everyone! I don't know about you, but I've been itching to read a really long and boring document on stream. I think it's about time we had a look at the privacy policy of Amazon! Stream will be Nov. 14th at 8 AM Pacific / 11 AM Eastern. See you then!

Today I lost my "real" job. I have a lot of feelings about it, but if I'm being honest, I'm mostly excited. Sure, I'm a bit scared, but because of it, I can just start doing YouTube full time. Thank you all for being here to support this crazy thing. I promise I won't waste this opportunity! Peace ✌️

See you in a couple days... 🎃

Old man tech support moment: Is there a way to permanently hide the trending stuff on the side? I don't come here to be tempted to doom scroll by single phrase topics, I come here to see stuff from the people I follow...

ooOOooOoOoooOoo I'm gonna make an Instagram account without reading the privacy policy oOooOoOOOooOOOoOOo so spooky

I tried to use a smart phone for 30 days, and I only made it 15 days in. Video will come eventually about it, but I just wanted to share that I don't love that this experiment made me comply with fear mongering. I'm sorry if I added stress to your feed. www.rejectconvenience.com/forum/viewto...

I promise I'm working on a real video, I just gotta get the goblins out of my brain www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2yU...

Just a friendly reminder to send that email to opt out of arbitration. There were over 70,000 ID's breached, and attackers had access to this data for a full 52 hours. Also talk to your local lawmakers to point out these obvious risks to ID verification laws.

In today's example of privacy policies that are missing important information, we have Shopify! I've had the misfortune of using their Shop service to buy things in the past, and was reminded today that instead of giving you tracking info, they make you download their app, which made me suspicious.

This is how my projector works (in blender)! (please note the perspective is insane here, the light sources are actually very close together)

That forced arbitration clause that was in Discord's recent TOS update is starting to make a little more sense now... cybersecuritynews.com/discord-data...

Here's proof of the dankpods set being re-created from scratch in Blender in the latest video!

Have you ever wonder why old people are bad with computers, yet they seem to be constantly on their phones? Or maybe you've wondered why the smartphone took over the world in the first place! Well, do I have the new video for you: youtu.be/lme9X2pf990

If you are ever worried about making something that looks bad, do it anyways. Making stuff is the only way to get better at making stuff. I made my very first 3D-dude videos on YouTube just over a year ago, and the difference is BONKERS to look back on. New video tomorrow, see you then :)

I'm still very deeply involved with this topic on a daily basis and can say that any local government investing or expanding its use will be apologizing to their citizens before the contract expires. Mark my words. My video was the tip of the iceberg. It's BAD.

The new video is LIVE for members.There's a copyright claim on this one. I disputed it as fair use (because it is) but that normally doesn't work out on this platform... so this video might not make any ad rev, so I am really counting on the Patreon this time around! www.patreon.com/posts/side-e...

Okay, so, you need to watch this if you're a Simpsons fan www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk-O...

The stream is live, I will be on this soon and currently @errant-signal.com @broadcaststatic.bsky.social @rejectconvenience.com @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social are on! Get in there and donate!

KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE PILOT IS OUT NOW ON YOUTUBE!

I'll be joining part of this! Come say hi :)

If I've said it once, I've said it a trillion times, Spotify is actually garbage and you should stop giving them money!

DeleteMe finally fixed the issue where their privacy policy wasn't readable if you had strict settings in Firefox. However, they decided add a barrier between clicking the privacy policy button on their home page and being able to read the actual policy. Not very privacy-friendly if you ask me.

Also, side note, the forum has been getting hit with a lot of bots lately. This has resulted is a VERY slow experience across the entire website. I made some changes to hopefully help, but if it's still slow, please let me know so I can keep looking into it.

Looks like Incogni is doing another wave of ads on YouTube (according to the newer comments), which is once again causing YouTube to suggest my video to a bunch of new people. If you haven't learned about what Incogni isn't telling you in their ads, here's that video ;) youtu.be/iX3JT6q3AxA

I wonder how they got that data...

I had this happen in my video about why I won't take sponsors. I said at one point that "we aren't friends" and I got a shocking amount of comments that just said "haha okay sure thing best friend" and it's kind of difficult to navigate that. And that was back when I had WAY fewer subscribers.

This is one of my all time favorite videos

Well that's a new warning. It's kind of funny seeing this on a platform that famously has a problem with porn bots flooding many comment sections. Also link to Cara's video, it's a good one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z377...

Fantastic video, as always. Also you should watch til the end ;)

This is a reminder that you should tell the people that you care about that they matter. You'd be amazed how often the response will be "thank you, I really needed that right now".

nailed it

Every time a comment makes me double check something in the Eight Sleep privacy policy, I throw up in my mouth a little. You want to read an actually gross privacy policy? Read Eight Sleep's, they're awful! Who could have guessed a mattress company might be shady? Huh! That's NEVER happened before.

oh hey look at that, 100k new subs since the end of April, that's neat Seriously, thanks everyone <3 new videos in the works (as always)

📢 1.106.0 is rolling out with various bug fixes and performance improvements. Users will also be notified of an update to our Community Guidelines and other policies. Learn more about these changes in our blog post: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Hey to my EU friends, PLEASE contact your local representatives regarding "Chat Control"! Privacy (and even encryption as a whole) is at risk across the world, and this one is certainly one of the big contributions. Learn more here: fightchatcontrol.eu

love when companies start ripping the copper wire out of the walls during the latest gold rush, destroying everything while simultaneously being too big to fail

Hell yeah, fight the system!

I am so grateful to be able to reject sponsors/affiliates on my channel. Today, I was sent an offer from an investment company to buy the channel, and it continues to feel so good to turn away all these corporations. I can't thank all the supporters of the channel enough for allowing me to do this!

"AI?" More like "Eyyy! I can do that myself!"

Hey y'all, I love to talk about a little company called Persona. This company offers age verification services. I decided this morning to read their privacy policy, and I'd love to share some really fun facts with you.

Good news inbound! The forum does not breach any of these rules, and so it's back for everyone. I've gone ahead and updated the rules and such to make it crystal clear that our forum is a safe place for anyone online.

Oh snap also thanks for 1k follows!

Gonna be trying something slightly new in the near future. Give me some privacy policies you'd love to see me explain! Just as a reminder, we've already looked at the following: DeleteMe Discord Signal Snapchat Spotify

Hey, if you haven't already, cancel your Spotify subscription. This company sucks for artists and now it sucks for users. Please just stop giving them your money.

I have some bad news. I am putting a freeze the forum as a result of recent UK/EU laws relating to the "Online Safety Act" and age verification. It's crazy that we'd be impacted by this, but we are due to vague language. I'm truly heartbroken, and I worry for the future of the internet. I'm sorry.
