Then why have a client side scanner in the first place? You're exposing the hashes to the world, you're not able to E2E encrypt anything if you need to server side scan, which you probably do since trusting the client no matter wh

How will you know? And actually, how will Apple know that's all their doing? They won't because all they can see is a hash, so they don't actually know if they're checking for anti-winnie the pooh memes, or CP. And there

Do you think a manual audit of 100k lines of code will uncover multi-threading or memory issues or any other security issue? Experience has shown that for c code for the first two, no it won't. And for any language code, manual audits

ofubd8kc: Right, so straight and such superficial comparisons are wrong for this reason. Most of the glibc code isn't used for any given compilation. Similarly for systemd, most of the code is being compiled into binaries outside of sy

Arch is primarily a systemd distro. I think it sounds like you should seriously sit down and think about why don't you want systemd, but answer some other questions first. You're running windows with all of its telemetry and longs

No, the alternative is that the execs at ebay grow a spine and tell the morality censors to go pound sand. Not that complicated.

Preventing transactions between two third parties (i.e. ebay) is economically similar to refusing to do business with another party. Except that if your in position to do the latter, you're obviously a platform for others, and thus you

I don't need to register the vehicle if I don't drive it on public property. I don't need to submit my information to the government to buy the vehicle. And I don't need a drivers license on private property either.
