Does Apple openly reveal such details about their software? Could revealing it make it possible to drive somebody to find out how to trick it?

> There is also meant to be human verification of any flagged images. So Apple does have access to everything you store on your phone? Either they're lying about being concerned about privacy or you don't have your facts straig

Facebook let's everybody push misinformation; just like Twitter and Reddit. At this point, it'd just be more useful to point out who's spreading misinformation, what that is, why it's misinformation, and what the up-to-d

While I agree that Apple is evil and all, war would be convincing others to quit Apple or to stop developing for it and make a significant dent in their XXXbn. A small message and loss of users probably won't do it. Maybe make your app

While I think IPFS is a great technology, it really isn't "easy". It still has a long way to go in that regard. Probably what's holding it back the most, in my case, is that it doesn't have FUSE or it's own pro

There are some opensource, reddit alternatives that might be willing to implement this. https://lemmy.ml/ comes to mind. You could suggest it there and it might fall upon open ears.

From the explanation [0], this looks like the commit [1]. I do have to say though, the commit messages are very barren and barely any reference an issue directly. My guess is that they develop on private branches with an internal issue trac

> I think authoritarianism is often as much about norms as it is about actual legal structures That sounds like a reasonable take. I like it. I wonder how many Chinese are actually OK with the system as it is and how many aren't.

The reason people don't think it's bad to lose their privacy, is the same as why they don't take climate change seriously: the effects are more than a year out. Most likely they won't even feel the effects directly in th

Though they may seem more similar in syntax now that python is introducing faux static typing, C++ is definitely not "the new python" imo. The tooling around C++ is still a maze of its own, it doesn't have a proper packaging

I think it's quite condescending of you to think I'm some naive, little child who's seen nothing of the world. Perhaps you should first learn how to be polite and first try to ask questions, before assuming everyone is dumber
