We can no longer trust anything that is specifically sent to us via digital means.
Technologies like the Document Scanner and even the Photocopier will now have to encode secret data to authenticate that a real, functioning machine has digitized the document.
This can in fact, cause a great amount of trouble for people.
People will be required to never digitize themselves handwriting all letters of the alphabet; lest their handwriting be vulnerable to an AI learning it.
Whoof. The burn.
Glad to see some people understand how much more problematic Trump is than anything that Harris would be doing.
Firefox is open source. It’s not going anywhere; even if Mozilla Co. goes broke and closes down the Mozilla Foundation.
Most reasonable consumers won’t go for this. it’s a greed play.
Give me mice that I own; not mice to rent.
Disgusting. Utterly disgusting. This idea belongs in the garbage bin.
No.
It is hard to have both; but not impossible. You can still be privacy friendly without sacrificing necessary functionality.
It will require that the “provider” of such a dataset constantly scrub, sanitize and remove data that would cause privacy hazards as quickly as reasonably possible however. That in and of itself is a technical challenge; though not impossible.
Ideally there’s not a whole lot of data that needs to be kept.
Legitimately all that needs to be stored is a few things:
and things they MUST NOT STORE OR SHARE like:
Linux must achieve 100% compatibility. Otherwise the doubters will not shut up.

Looks like there’s several causes.

I don’t know how soon Tubular or NewPipe can fix their app; but it seems like a few simple changes will do.
I should point out that this isn’t always “Google is trying to block adblockers” again!
Google can, will, and does simply change how the YouTube watch pages look, feel and operate behind the scenes quite regularly.
Thankfully we have people like those at the FreeTube, NewPipe and yt-dlp projects to sift through those changes and update the code to cope with the new output.
Freetube does work; it simply requires you switch to the Invidious API or have “Fallback to non-preferred API on Failure” enabled. (which honestly you always should have this setting ON).
Personally; I refuse to change my preferred API; so the “Fallback to non-preferred API on Failure” just works.
also yt-dlp does work but you need to upgrade to latest nightly/build.
yt-dlp version nightly@2024.07.09.232843 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp-nightly-builds [d2189d3d3]
YT-DLP fixed already; I use it locally in conjunction with MPC-HC.
yt-dlp -U or yt-dlp -U nightly
Or download latest nightly.
yt-dlp version nightly@2024.07.09.232843 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp-nightly-builds [d2189d3d3]
In general; I strongly don’t recommend anything on the Google Play Store except the Google Dialer.
If the Google Dialer is not to your liking; I strongly recommend only trying Dialers you will find on F-Droid.org
I like that he is being decisive about it. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the feature was only being delayed because of internal project politics or quirky policies that normally make sense, but don’t in this specific scenario.
I stopped using Termux in general because of this inanity where they moved off and stopped supporting the Play Store Version; now this happens where they’re unable to keep things from conflicting across the different APK sources?
Yikes. Seems like a good time to continue staying away from Termux and not recommending it.
It’s a shame since I really love the concept of the app; but each increment of Android has been rough on it and I can’t imagine it being useful with Google being stupid about their policies.
…Unfortunately they’re often quick to blame apps they dislike for problems in the ecosystem, and they often directly attack them through nerfing APIs and system calls that the apps tend to use; which I think is absolutely a dogshit thing to do.
Please, stop enshittifying our phones Google.
Beehaw doesn’t ban you for having an opinion loudly.
What it does address typically is when users are horrifically disrespectful or rude…which usually the OP was not.
I guess they just reached their limit of patience.
Unless there’s some kind of bug where Discord enables the in-app setting without actually having the permissions to access contacts
That’s the bug exactly. It’s kind of a UI glitch; but I found out through Samsung bungling my permissions preferences through a One UI (OTA System) update, that it actually does enable the in-app setting by accident and that this is going to access your contacts if the permission is presently GRANTED, but not throw up a prompt asking for permission if the permission is already DENIED.
The bug is definitely known; and a fix is probably being worked on.
But I will say that it does in fact turn on the setting.
What’s true is that primary sources don’t count towards notability, so if an article mostly just uses primary sources it’s likely to get deleted.
Which is absolutely absurd. Counting secondary sources and deciding if something is “Notable” from that is completely arbitrary. Furthermore, there’s legitimate reason for secondary sources not to exist on the topic; and the Notability guidelines of the local WikiProject on Roads, which probably contained the people leaving, should have been taken under advisement as notable roads don’t always have secondary sourcing due to lack of local newspapers or publications.
Specifically a highway may be notable because it never appears in the news… often because it rarely if ever sees auto accidents. A source is a source, and I think attacking primary sources and excluding them is problematic if the source in question never was causing issues with NPOV.
Now if someone can prove that a website from the DOT is actually doing some weird POV pushing or is legitimately not behaving like a neutral source; then sure, challenge that citation for that article and get it struck.
But it’s otherwise a waste of time to pretend that roads and highways aren’t notable and not of encyclopedic interest for good reason.
Agreed; when an AI is used to bring things to the attention of a qualified human handler; the two working in tandem can be pretty effective.
AI alone should never make decisions; and humans should always evaluate an AI’s findings carefully before acting on them.
