This is too short and the justification provided is flimsy at best. I predict that normal people will began to get comfortable with ignoring SSL errors, even more than they already are. Perhaps we will see the proliferation of https-strippi

I'll just repost what I posted in the last thread: > There is no on-device scanning without compromising privacy. Scanning that can detect child abuse can also detect human rights activists, investigative journalists, and so on. I i

Don't modern screenshot apps allow for selecting text? just take a video and select away.

This is my plan as well. If we loose the ability to run GrapheneOS, I'll get an iphone and treat it as a locked down home router, and use a linux phone with open source apps for my calls/messaging. I will also do everything in my

One look at the victims (or their mangled remains) immediately discounts all three.

This is the right answer. I'm willing to stick my head out and assert that languages with a "minimal" standard library are defective by design. The argument of APIs being stuck is mood with approaches like Rust's epocs o

There is no on-device scanning without compromising privacy. Scanning that can detect child abuse can also detect human rights activists, investigative journalists, and so on. I imagine this technology can be easily used by the government t

Are all UN nations bound to this declaration or at least those joining after 1948?

What was allowed to happen in Palestine has set a new standard for the value of human life and morals. It was not only set for the Palestinians but also for the other side and everyone else. Perhaps this is no consolation to the victims, bu

OP, I recommend switching to the LGPLv3. It ensures users remain in control over your part of the code while avoiding this type of reaction.

I hope AI never gets legislated where you live, and if it does, I hope other countries don't and absolutely pulverize your country and any chance of these nonsensical reactionary laws taking hold elsewhere. The solution to some people

lmarena did the same thing and saw its usage take a nosedive. I wonder if the same thing will happen here.

It wouldn't unless the US is willing to justify having their domestic companies fall under the jurisdiction of other countries. Geopolitical reciprocity is still alive an well as the US is starting to find out.

This was always going to be the logical conclusion to US hostile policy regarding the the proliferation of IC fabrication. The US, not cost, was the primary factor that discouraged many countries from pursuing their own IC fabrication capab

My bank retired their online banking website in favor of their app. Not only that, but many of their core services (national payment network) are now exclusively offered in their app and no where else (yes, they will not allow you to do the

I wonder who will flinch first. I highly doubt domestic manufacturing can scale up fast enough to meet demand but It'd be fun to be proven wrong.

Honestly, you don't. Your government is completely out of control. I can't care about you if you, UK citizens, choose not to do anything about it. You are the only people on the planet in any position to do anything about this. Go

This deplorable company has just condemned humanity's right to open computing. They sold themselves as open, smothered out all other open competitors, and then once they had complete dominance over the open phone market did this. Even

Agreed that it's a se-inflicted problem. Like others have stated, restore the network-access permission and have it disabled by default with a big warning shown when the user attempts to enable it (remove the warning if the app has bee

Yep, at this point aiding google is simply inexcusable. Taking into account the scale of the harm to humanity, what is being done by these google developers is truly evil. These developers cannot feign ignorance. Not with this level of harm

This is why open source software is stronger than ever despite its shortcomings and efforts of large orgs to kill it. Rather than bending backwards and treating it like property (as originally demanded by Bill Gates in his open letter decad

Isn't democracy rendered impossible with laws like this? I mean, if slavery was still legal or LGPT still illegal, would the government have been able to use this technology to smother political movements before they ever start? Wouldn

Consoles are a monopoly too and I hope governments go after them next.

I would argue that entities such as VISA and Mastercard have so much power that they are government-like entities and should be treated as such (i.e. a common carrier).
