“Can’t share item,” was the header. “You cannot share this item because it has been flagged as inappropriate,” read the body text.

FAFO.

We’ve been fanfaring for a decade and a fucking half for people not to see “the cloud” as a miracle solution, and to use it carefully. We’ve been warning that it is a blatant invitation to vendor lock in, that it is singlehandedly creating oligopolies, and that exactly this would happen.

Did people listen? No. Did they aggressively confront (or passive-aggressively ostracise) us? You bet your bottom dollar they did.

And now? Now they come around with surprised_pika.gif faces and whine to whoever listens that they are victims, and that they couldn’t “possibly have seen this coming”.

No. They are enablers of abusers, they themselves abused anyone with even a modicum of common sense, and they brought this upon themselves a thousand times over.

FAFO. And at this point, reading such story fills me with the most powerful schadenfreude I have ever experienced.

How about blackholing google to limit the damage instead? And you could limit it further by not using services that you know feed data to google.

I feel cucked having google only get most of my traffic. I am an alpha male, I want them to get all of my traffic.

Obviously, cash shops should be banned in games immediately.

Upvoted specifically for that last part.

Without paywall.

Would it not be “additive burn-in” and “subtractive burn-in” or something then? Or “differential burn-in?”

the fact that you think the “G” stands for “Generative”

You’ve shown your IQ right there. No time to waste with you. Goodbye.

AGI

It depresses me that we have to find new silly acronyms to mean something we already had acronyms for in the first place, just because we are simply too stupid to use our vocabulary appropriately.

AI is what “AGI” means. Just fucking AI. It has been for more than half a century, it is sensical, and it is logical.

However, in spite of its name, the current technology is not really capable of generating information, so it isn’t capable of actual “intelligence”. It is pseudo-generation, which it achieves by sequencing and combining input (AKA training) data. So it does not generate new information, but rather new variations of existing information. Due to this fact, I would prefer the name of “Artificial Adaptability” (or “AA”, or " A2") to be used in lieu of “AI”, or “Artificial Intelligence” (on the grounds that it means something else entirely).

Edit: to the people it may concern: stop answering this about “Artifishual GeNeRaL intelligence”. I know what AGI means. It takes all of 3 seconds to do an internet search, and it isn’t even necessary: everyone has known for months. I did not bother to explicit it, because I did not imagine that anyone would be simple enough to take literally the first word starting with “g” from my comment and roll with that in a self-important diatribe on what they imagined I was wrong about. So if you feel the need to project what you imagine I meant, and then correct that, please don’t. I’m sad enough already that humanity is failing, I do not need more evidence.

Edit 2: “your opinion only matters if you have published papers”. No. Also it is a really stupid argument from authority. Besides, anyone with enough time on their hands can get papers published. It is not a guarantee of quality, but merely a proof that you LARPed in academy. The hard part isn’t writing, it is thinking. And as I wrote before, I already know this, I need no more proof, thank you.

OP is apparently speedrunning “blocked by all of Lemmy” any %.

Rooted devices are not secure.

This reeks of servitude/wishful thinking mentality. You do realise that vendors have root access, right? So what, when they do it it’s secure because of their magical vendor status? Or is it because they hide the implementation details?

I use linphone. Not necessarily because it is good, but it works and I have found nothing betterelse.

Why would the countries that literally can MITM and censor content at the source would ever do spam campaigns? 🤨

At some point, use your brain… As with the freedom of speech, if you don’t use it, it will become powerless.

RU / CN / KP / IR (strike out what does not apply)

This is just pointless drama. It’s an emotional shitshow with way too much ego from all participants. The reaction from the Dev is actually bad, but the OG CVE is equally bad.

On one hand, I don’t expect an app to let me inject code even as an admin. That’s just very bad form, and asking for trouble.

On the other hand, arguably, if an attacker has admin access, you’re toast. So that’s also hardly a CVE.

Now, all the involved people have terrible written expression, poor grammar, and are even omitting entire chunks of sentences.

And then there’s the content… Nah, this is just noise. Absolute junk. Sorry, but IMHO this has nothing to do in this community.

Please stop posting paywalled articles. Neither 1ft.io/12ft.io nor archive.ph could get the full text out of that one…

Could you post the full article here?

AFAIK, Google Maps, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Authentication and (since v5.24.15) Wallet/Payments. Might be more.

No, the original depends on proprietary blobs. And so does molly, unless you use the FOSS version explicitly.
