izacus··on Government orders GitHub to remove Bluetooth-based chat app Bitchat: Jack Dorsey
When you're standing at the customs office entering a country, your lawyers are far far FAR away and the people talking to you won't care about them even a little bit.

Whatever will happen with you lawyering and fighting the border officers, will happen after you've been detained.

izacus··on Government orders GitHub to remove Bluetooth-based chat app Bitchat: Jack Dorsey
The poster you're answering to just described what happens.
izacus··on Ah, the Codeberg Drama
Ah, I was waiting for the inevitable AI pusher "you're sticking your head in the sand this is INEVITABLE" argument pushed by OpenAI and others.

Carry on, nothing to see here.

izacus··on Future euro banknote design proposals
TBH the only acceptable approach here would be similar to coins - where each member state may print their own people on some of the notes to keep representation.

Putting 6 people of 27 member states is just asking for trouble and lacks representation.

(I still prefer the current approach of using non-existing bridgets as a motif.)

izacus··on I regret migrating to Codeberg
This is a bit of a drama take - there's nothing "illegitimate" with your project, Codeberg just doesn't want it.

And that's ok, noone owes you free hosting.

izacus··on Why Sony can't bring back its classic Walkman models
That is the decent player you're looking for. (It has an SD card slot.)

iPods weren't cheap either.

izacus··on Fairphone 6 wide camera experimental Linux support
Why are you complaining about personal attacks when you began with an attack on a person by misinterpreting what they said and accusing them of things they didn't claim?
izacus··on Why Sony can't bring back its classic Walkman models
I don't understand the question, Sony still sells a product line of both premium and cheaper mp3 player devices?

Although FiiO is probably the company to look at for these kind of products.

izacus··on AI Companies Are Trying to Hide a Staggering Amount of Debt
All of that is only true if the market is sufficiently diversified and not manipulated for profit extraction.

Right now it's not clear that is true.

izacus··on New Framework Desktop Option with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 and 192GB Memory
So why do so many of major successful product corporations use this kind of naming scheme?
izacus··on EU fines Google €890M for competition breaches over search and apps
Yes, I'm not going to spend energy debunking your lying, but it's really trivial ti find out which budget does this money go to and how much EU funds.
izacus··on EU fines Google €890M for competition breaches over search and apps
Please refrain from these kind of lazy comments, especially when they're trivially proven wrong.
izacus··on New Framework Desktop Option with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 and 192GB Memory
They did not, can you explain what do you mean?
izacus··on Fairphone 6 wide camera experimental Linux support
That is a question I cannot answer - and CRA is pretty new, so we'll see if anything changes.
izacus··on Fairphone 6 wide camera experimental Linux support
They're also pretty behind on major OS updates and even bug fixes last I've checked. The software story was very disappointing when I wanted to get one.
izacus··on Fairphone 6 wide camera experimental Linux support
A team of people patching and releasing firmware and hardware drivers to the public on a monthly basis.
izacus··on Passkeys were invented by engineers with zero understanding of consumer brain
Why are you making stuff up? Of course people know where they're stored in password managers and how they're synced.
izacus··on Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM
Now you're just bizarrely moving the goalposts instead of admitting you spread misinformation.
izacus··on Passkeys were invented by engineers with zero understanding of consumer brain
I login to 1Password on another device and all passkeys are there, and usable.

The OSes I use where that works fine:

- Android - Windows - Linux - macOS - iOS

izacus··on Passkeys were invented by engineers with zero understanding of consumer brain
> That's just wrong. I use android, my partner uses ios. If he creates the passkey in safari, it's not going to get synced over to my phone. And that's just the first of the family sharing passwords issues. Same person issue is also present if somebody uses an iphone and a windows laptop, or chromebook.

The passkeys sync just fine between iOS and Android on our devices using 1Password.

izacus··on Most Americans say "not in my backyard" to AI data centers
What kind of reason would you possibly have to write the sentence you did?

Why did you?

izacus··on Most Americans say "not in my backyard" to AI data centers
Blaming Russia (and China) in most cases is a cheap cop out to try to deflect, hide and minimize the actual grievances of people living in USA.

Yes, there's propaganda and most of it doesn't reach the Americans. It's downright insulting to claim their hurts are something that countries on the other side of the world invented.

izacus··on Passkeys were invented by engineers with zero understanding of consumer brain
You do the same as you do when you lose your SSH key. Restore from backup and move on with your life.

Why is there so much misinformation nonsense around passkeys?

izacus··on Passkeys were invented by engineers with zero understanding of consumer brain
They're literally the same thing, what are you on about?
izacus··on AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D Review: 3D V-Cache Gaming Performance for Less – HotHardware
Caches take die space. GPU takes die space.

People buying gaming CPUs tend to not really want iGPU taking away thermals, so it makes kinda sense?

izacus··on The EU is about to sell our most sensitive data to the US for visa-free travel
We're talking about ESTA, which is a visa waiver equivalent of B1/B2 combo.
izacus··on Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM
I agree, so let's make sure that signed warrant is always required for any kind of access to communications, even _if unencrypted_ like snail mail, SMS or plain text chat client. As well as encrypted.

So - political solution, not a tech solution.

izacus··on Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM
Google Photos does ask you for consent when you run it.

(It is, granted, a bit pushy about it and will ask multiple times when you run it with an intrusive dialog.)

izacus··on Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM
Police can absolutely open snail mail with an appropriate warrant when investigating traffickers.
izacus··on Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM
Stop making stuff up man, the image was uploaded to Google Photos servers.

> The father uploaded photos of his son’s genitals, which were also backed up on his Google cloud, to the health care provider’s messaging system as requested.
