I played Balatro with my brother (we put in up on a TV)

I don’t think there was anything in the article indicating the privacy of WhatsApp was actually breached, they got info by reading WhatsApp messages from other people in the chat who had already been arrested and from Apple.

According to the article they did seize whatever they could.

Given that anyone can access the posts, I would say that anyone (AI companies) can access the posts.

Eh, various Linux DEs have what are essentially app stores because it makes the OS more accessible. I don’t think it’s inaccurate to say that many people are so technically illiterate that they do need someone to control their experience for them. I think that is an issue, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is the current state of things.

On the other hand, forcing users into using an app store (Apple) is bad, plenty of users are smart enough to control their own experience and some of us like customizing our OS and apps.
