imagine wasting time on video games being part of your [public] identity. kill me if i ever become a "gamer"

@britt they also delist servers from that index that don't support censoring their users. it's a bummer.

what is the maximum reasonable amount of firearms to purchase in a 90 day period for someone *not* planning to shoot anyone/anything?

@root if you can build something that does the same thing your time is worth more than $50/hour

@root your time is not free

my mac should notify me automatically if i have been working/active for >30 minutes on home wifi and using battery. instead i use a whole battery cycle and get down to 10% before it reminds me to plug in.

@kkarhan russian pianist youtuber. 4k videos with amazing production values and camera work. she's also at least as skilled as vkgoeswild but has 10x the camera/audio/cinematography production value.

who's in multiline yaml hell? i'm in multiline yaml hell!

trying not to engage in conspiracy theory belief now that my homepod 1s have *this week* after years of faithful service started to become more flaky...

(the homepod 1s are notoriously flaky, i am surprised mine lasted this long.)

TIL i am like the last person on the internet to learn about gamazda

today would have been dan kaminsky's birthday. miss him.

"everybody knows" that deepfakes are harmful.

however i've not seen any evidence whatsoever that deepfakes can or have harmed anyone.

it seems like it'd be obvious that making porn with someone's face on it who doesn't consent to that use of their face would be bad... but you're already allowed to make fake imagery using faces. it's art.

i don't have any evidence that deepfakes are harmful. do you?

@kkarhan @lewin@digitalcourage.social @kubikpixel @schurt3r thanks for your opinion

@kkarhan @lewin@digitalcourage.social @kubikpixel @schurt3r a mandate doesn't have to be public, or even legal. in fact, such an unconstitutional abridgement of apple's 1A rights to free publishing of software would necessarily be very very quiet, a backroom deal.

@kkarhan @lewin@digitalcourage.social @kubikpixel @schurt3r you don't know that it doesn't have any mandate to exist. it's likely that clientside scanning is a prerequisite demanded by the USG before apple ships end to end encrypted cloud software that they can't spy on at will.

@kkarhan @lewin@digitalcourage.social @kubikpixel @schurt3r what you said is false. you don't need source code or reproducible builds to know what software is doing.

@lewin@digitalcourage.social @kkarhan @kubikpixel @schurt3r approximately zero people have advanced data protection enabled, and if everyone turned it on, it would be a disaster, because people lose their phone+password (and thus all their keys) all of the fucking time. sneak's law, i named it, a long time ago.

@lewin@digitalcourage.social @kkarhan @kubikpixel @schurt3r how do you know that apple has not implemented CSAM scanning?

i wrote the article that that abysmally bad Mental Outlaw video mis-reports on. he makes claims that i never made in my post.
