You don’t have to know how to write your own software to install another App Store on Android.

Amazon has their own competing app store, with boomer-friendly instructions for installing it:

And Amazon’s phones and tablets use their own “FireOS” remix of Android without Google Play Store available.

I prefer the OS being open to third-party installers over any legal mandate that app stores not being allowed to curate their own store’s offerings. Closing off Google’s app store to competing app stores only makes sense if other app stores have no reasonable access to customers, which is clearly not the case.

Complete bullshit that they’re throwing this ruling at Android when iOS doesn’t even let you download and install a third-party app without either jailbreaking, or hooking up your iPhone in developer mode to a computer running xcode. Apple treats Cydia like it’s malware. Google perfectly tolerates Amazon and F-Droid running their own operations.

Is the solution to male loneliness ripping your father’s shrieking soul from the depths of the underworld and crudely resurrecting him in defiance of God’s will?

If that’s the extent of their differences, then they aren’t very different…

Explain how they are different.

I suspect that this was something of a test case, with the regulator flexing their censorship muscle, and I’m glad it didn’t work out.

This was a POV stabbing video that people spread around to glorify violence. It’s in the same category as beheading videos.

America may have decided that child porn is the only media exception to free speech, but other more sane countries draw the line a little bit more broadly to include all forms of extremely violent crime filmed to be glorified, including things like murder, attempted murder, torture, and the rape of adults.

If you want to operate a business in places like Australia or New Zealand, you cannot be distributing violent gore videos within their borders.

I hope they revisit this as X users are pretty routinely celebrating things like the Christchurch shooting and other violent extremist incidents. Sometimes censorship makes sense, and when people are antagonistically spreading videos of people being maimed and killed, the “free speech” argument absolutely doesn’t fucking cut it.

Did you actually read the article? The designers of this vision model used a software trick (inspired by the concept of quantum tunneling that has nothing to do with quantum computing) to allow inputs to bypass hidden layers at random, resulting in results that were able to see certain optical illusions in a way that other vision models cannot.

This can be done by just adding some noise to the image. Sometimes it gets recognized as one thing and sometimes like another, just like humans would.

Word soup by someone who knows way less than these researchers.

Signal is bad then?

Yeah. Why use X3DH when there are algorithms that already exist and we know are secure?

So in which direction you want it go? More private or more moderated?

Privacy is good, but when the public chatrooms are distributing child porn, you can’t use encryption as an excuse not moderating. Failure to moderate illegal content is a crime.

Let the pedos run their own Matrix server or something. You can’t be knowingly providing comms and distribution to child pornographers.

Also terabytes of child porn that they won’t take down.

Look up brothels in sex-work friendly countries in Google Maps, screenshot them, and mass-report Google Maps as a prostitution app.

As someone who integrates Okta for a living, I have no idea why this would be part of the config. I can’t even figure how you would use Okta for content filtering at all.

It’s an authentication service…

They deliberately misrepresented it. Just another person who thinks that if you oppose Goldman Sachs for their contributions to late stage capitalism that you are obligated to disagree with every single piece of messaging from them without exception.

If the CEO of Goldman Sachs shits in a toilet, and this guy finds out, he’s going to shit on the floor in protest.

Not really comparable.

AI has lots of potential for the future, and Goldman Sachs continues to invest in that sector.

They are specifically talking about the bubble of Generative AI startups, none of which have any long term viability as they either produce a novelty, or they produce something so inaccurate that nobody would trust it after using it.

They aren’t the people saying that the Internet won’t catch on. They’re the ones warning you that dot com is a bubble.

They’re right.

Yeah man, Trumpists and Propagandists, two mutually exclusive groups…

No, if you include GPL code you need to provide a copy of the source code upon request. If you made modifications to that source code, you will need to provide them, otherwise just provide the commit hash for the GPL project you’re using.

You don’t need to provide root access just because you used GPL code, you just have to follow the GPL.

lmao

I am not saying that she deserves to be in danger, but if you’re going to donate money to her, please remember that she is a registered Republican and she’s even run for a Senate seat as an ® in Louisiana back in 2009, so make certain that she’s worth your money over other causes you could be giving to right now. Just because she’s against Trump doesn’t mean she’s on our side.

At best she’s a grifter. Being a porn star and a Republican Senate candidate in 2009 is a bold move, and sleeping with Donald Trump is pretty nasty.

Pivoting strait to “For the Love of DILFs” just felt like a cheap cash grab, but also follows the pattern of a grifter using reality TV to make fast cash, and an LGBT-friendly dating show immediately after scoring points on the left for humiliating Trump just screams grift to me…

clearly violence was not a serious part of the plan to overthrow the government.

This is the single most delusional string of words I’ve ever read.

You go from claiming that there was no coherent plan, to saying that the plan is “clear” enough that we can rule out violence as a part of it.

4 people fucking died in a coordinated attempt to storm the capitol where an armed mob assaulted and killed police officers, smashed through windows, pissed and shit in hallways and offices, and demanded that politicians be killed.

And you’re saying that violence “clearly” wasn’t part of the plan?

Is this some kind of bit where you pretend to be as stupid as possible, because I don’t get it.

This only applies to Sony products, right?

I use Buffalo drives and Optical Quantum BD-Rs for archiving. It doesn’t sound like that will be affected.
