This has a strong whiff of the former Facebook engineers that forbade their families from using the platforms they built.

I’ve been a “Pro” user for as long as they’d had that distinction vs. lower end and the “it’s a small tablet” size.

That’s pretty awesome

That’s a great TL:DW;

Now I want an iPhone that can charge in 20 minutes. :)

While I agree they are unlikely to get a fair trial

1. They don’t deserve fairness
2. If this wasn’t leaked, they would go un-judged, which is the opposite end of that sliding scale they are complaining about by being outed as torturers.

I do wonder how much of it was “following orders” and how much was pure bloodlust. Neither excuses this, but the former would be indicative of bigger evil up the chain of command.

Apple and Google should just prevent their app stores from functioning in Texas. This crap is getting absurd. Cause a few riots from citizens when all their apps stop working, or it’ll only get worse.

The fact that these photos and PII (personally identifiable information) were not destroyed after the verification process was certified is absolutely atrocious OpSec. I don’t even care which of the two companies is ultimately responsible, because they are both responsible.

1. Zendesk for their bad OpSec
2. Discord for both outsourcing this AND not having contractual requirements to properly secure and destroy PII when it was no longer required.

I work in IT, and treat PII like it’s dangerously radioactive, because in the digital world, it really is.

He has all the power to make them stop. Stop giving them bombs, they cannot bomb anymore.

A blue one, for sure.

Why not just make it a website? We’re not doing censoring yet, right?

I saw this movie, and I have no faith we have a real-world Neo to save us from it.

So they go and blame ad blockers for the decrease at the same time they cause said “decline”? Classic.

You missed the headline, it has already happened. Whether he caves later, is a different story.

TACO Don…

They’ll criminalize personal VPN users for non-work purposes, next.

Elon pushes directly to main

I read that it’s “opt out” not “opt in”.

Nice, wholesale illegal wire tapping. It’s OK, it’s legal because it’s AI and Google is totally not storing any recordings. They say this is all on-device, but that’s an “oops” or equivalent from them hoovering up recordings of every phone call you use one of their surveillance endpoints phones on.

There are open source alternatives? Do they handle Plex/Infuse integration? Trakt’s obsessive march toward enshitification has been pretty predictable, but maybe this price hike will be the last straw.

Yeah, Proton is bucking the obvious trend, with this one. Most companies will totally take the profits rather than lowering prices.
