  • Apple provides detailed reasoning behind abandoning iPhone CSAM detection

    ericthehalfbeeericthehalfbee
    Kind of ridiculous that Apple got flak for trying to implement CSAM using a better method to improve privacy while Google, Microsoft and others have had full-blown CSAM scanning for years and hardly anyone talks about it.

    Google is even worse for using machine learning to try and identify images that aren't in the CSAM database, generating additional false positives.

    Is this sort of racial preference still legal?

    Say what? There are countless scholarships and various programs targeted to groups of people all over the world. There’s nothing illegal about someone (or some company) wanting to help a specific group of people. Especially one that’s often the target of harassment or unfair treatment in the workplace (LGBTQ, persons of colour, Muslims, women…).

    The thing I find interesting about these articles is when people complain about them and try to construct a valid argument as to why it’s not a good idea (and failing).

  • Epic asks U.S. Supreme Court to enforce lower court's App Store order

    Funny thing is if Apple loses it only helps other developers but not Epic since they’re banned from
    The App Store.

    I see AppleInsider already has over 2,000 followers. Curious what you think of that?

  • Twitter imposes limits on readable tweets to beat 'scraping'

    ericthehalfbeeericthehalfbee
    Meh. Got permanently suspended from Twitter (was expecting it but it took longer than I thought).

    Created a second account (a right-wing Trump fan) to go along with my main “left wing” account.

    Started posting identical, but opposite posts on each account. For example, suggest using the 2nd Amendment to get rid of traitors like AOC or MTG. My “left” account received numerous temporary suspensions leading up to my permanent ban while my “right” account didn’t even get a single warning. I fully expected this based on the shithole Twitter has become, but didn’t expect it to be so obvious.

    Eventually Twitter will be another Truth Social, a failing platform that only preaches to the choir of fuckwit GOP and Trump fanatics.
