Nothing. 50% of the country loves their strongman president more than freedom or common sense

The dude literally invited Russian state media and said “this will be great TV”.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but…

Will hospitals and schools stop Russia from annexing more countries?

Putin isn’t exactly a peace dove either… And he’s not stopping unless someone pushes back hard enough, it’s the Russian mentality

They let the Russian state media in there, but no AP or Reuters

That’s all you need to know

And you’ll again inconvenience a human slightly as they look at a pixelated copy of a picture of a cat or some noise.

No cops are called, no accounts closed

Nope.

A human checker would get a reduced quality copy after multiple CSAM matches. No police was to be called if the human checker didn’t verify a positive match

Your idea of flooding someone with fake matches that are actually cat pics wouldn’t have worked

They were not “suspected” they had to be matches to actual CSAM.

And after that a reduced quality copy was shown to an actual human, not an AI like in Googles case.

So the false positive would slightly inconvenience a human checker for 15 seconds, not get you Swatted or your account closed

Import, deport. What’s the difference?

This is EXACTLY what Apple tried to do with their on-device CSAM detection, it had a ridiculous amount of safeties to protect people’s privacy and still it got shouted down

I’m interested in seeing what happens when Holy Google, for which most nerds have a blind spot, does the exact same thing

EDIT: from looking at the downvotes, it really seems that Google can do no wrong 😆 And Apple is always the bad guy in lemmy

Twitter API costs $$$ to use

Epaper refresh rates are utter shit, it’s a cool idea but not practical except for in bespoke devices like the remarkable

People underestimate the sheer size and volume of ship anchors.

It’s not the hooky bit that ye olde sailors tattooed on their arm that holds the ship like a fishhook.

It’s the literal hundred metres of VERY heavy chain that does it. Unless it’s your first time behind the wheel it’s impossible not to notice you’re dragging an anchor.

This is the scale we’re talking about.

Bluesky with a few US politics blocklists is a decent experience.

Most small group forums have manual user validation with very specific questions.

I’ve seen stuff like “what is on the the 5th page of the user guide for this product” along with language/culture specific questions you can’t just easily google on forums that are focused on a specific area

For me the advantage of Bluesky is that I can own my identity. I can reserve myusername@mydomain.tld and use that, without having to run my own instance.

With Mastodon I’d have to put up a full-ass server instance and worry about federation etc just to have my “own” identity instead of myusername@mastodon.social or something

$42 says they’re feeding it to Grok and asking it to make decisions

So will the Italian government provide an Official List of Pirated Content or do the VPN providers need to determine it manually?

It’s $4 a month for 1GB of storage, not insane

I use this as a backup in tandem with the official sync

And the official one works every time, remotely-save just fails randomly and I need to dig through the logs to see what happened this time
