But Apple cares about children. They were the first to run CSAM scans on their cloud storage and devices.

I use local Ollama. I don’t trust anyone with my AI conversations.

Of course there is no public evidence. It’s just a very probable speculation that governments want to control the internet.

Back in the days of newspapers/radio/tv, governments had control as they could easily go after news outlets.

However, with internet, they lost this power. They have been trying hard to regain the power of controlling information. The latest success was masking moderation as child protection.

Kiwi Browser has developer tools

Are people still mining chia ?

my question was not directed at you

Sorry for that, but you could say “it’s NoneOfUrBusiness” (their username)

I don’t think they will prohibit side loading. This will cause serious issues to developers, and other professionals.

Like, I cannot use the X tool from Github, just because the Y developer refuses to publish it in an organized store?

This also applies to Windows. What prevents a user from downloading a Firefox fork that does not properly implement age verification?

Since it is impossible to implement on Linux, it may just be flagged as adult-only software.

But, there is still hope. What if Snaps and Flatpaks get properly flagged, allowing Ubuntu and/or Fedora to be legal?

I used to watch The Hated One, who has also made similar recommendations for strikes. He has suggested the use of Briar, as it can fallback to Bluetooth connectivity.

However, I mostly wanted to point out that burner phones is not the answer for everyone. People need to be familiar with their local laws to stay safe.

In some countries, like Greece, you can’t use an unregistered phone number.

Since phone numbers are tied to people’s identities, does it really matter whether you use a burner or your main?

Maybe you can

They probably have RAS syndrome

Finally! Someone said it! My company changed my work laptop to a Mac. It’s been a couple of months, and I still haven’t got used to the desktop environment. Navigating between open windows with regular mouse/keyboard is a pain.

I find window grouping very annoying (this is also true for Gnome). What makes it even worse, is that the tilde is next to the left shift, instead of being above Tab. I think that’s because we have British keyboard.

No, we need massive data centers for LLMs and data analysis for targeted ads /s

Unless you run a custom ROM, like LineageOS or GrapheneOS, you most probably have some Meta apps installed at system level.

This is Meta Services, as a system app which can only be disabled, on my work Samsung.

Your therapist can’t even have a phone in the room?

I would prefer my psychological issues to not be turned into marketing campaigns. If you still don’t understand what I am talking about, you should probably check the Privacy Policy of Google and Meta.

To save you some time: Google and Meta are monitoring the conversations using the device’s microphone, to better understand what products you may be interested in. You have noticed, that ads are often related to the topics that you discuss face to face.

I had visited an ophthalmologist who used Apple Notes to keep track of his patients. He had no idea about the privacy implications of his choices.

However, my most nerve racking experience was talking to my therapist, while their stock Android was right next to them. Even when I mentioned my privacy concerns, they didn’t bother to get rid of it.
