@signalapp What happens when they find legal nudity? Is it noted somewhere for tracking (and monitoring)?

@signalapp They’re giving in to populism, and the government isn’t listening to the experts. The police in the UK is already untrustworthy. What happens when they start arresting people for false positives?

@signalapp No more bombs ✊

Boobs! I meant boobs of course.

The dangerous stuff.

@signalapp Den som själv har nåt att dölja ropar på förstärkt polis (Bängen trålar, Nationalteatern)

@signalapp Uh, any museum painting collection?

@signalapp Doesn't endanger the government!

@signalapp why is everything gone so 'end-of-days' with each and every issue?

Religiously it's accurate to say the end is near but, I don't think that we know that it's because of 'A,B,C,...'

@signalapp I saw this reported on Sky news today and you can understand why the average person agrees with it because there was no reporting on why this could a bad thing. How the purpose would likely be expanded and people will just get around it anyway.

The UK government wanted to put back doors into apps like Whatsapp and other chat apps. A back door is a security hole that others will exploit and the UK government don't have a good track record with tech rollouts 🤔

@signalapp Make sure the UK government can’t access Signal if they push it

@signalapp Sounds more like a spying charter than protection for children.

@signalapp

Why won't Signal release/open source all of their backend infra automation scripts/tools/etc...

There's no reasonable reason why a 501(c)(3) won't put this out there to make sure there's redundancy so we could built an alternate network if they're compromised by some gag order.

@signalapp I think many of your points have merit, but what actually is your counter proposal to prevent online child criminal / sexual exploitation?

I work in field where CSE is an issue and am keen to know how you'd address it.

@signalapp

And they are doing it to protect powerful and rich pedophiles. Refusing to.investigate, refusing to pressure named pedos, connected pedos from Trump t o Epstein.

@signalapp Every Western government is compromised by this totalitarian spirit to control us like electronically caged animals. It’s evil.

@signalapp

The UK is, was and shall be forever cooked, fam.

@signalapp Very well put!

@signalapp Parents should always take the responsibility first to monitor their children.

@signalapp @GrapheneOS is going to start getting popular in the UK

@signalapp The whole point of end to end encryption is to make sure that no third party can view your messages. How would they secure the scanners? Oh, sorry I asked! The scanners themselves become an attack surface and since its centralized, this adds a single point of failure. It would be better if they instead raise awareness for parents and issue laws that actually help struggling children without breaking E2EE for everyone.

@signalapp Have they tried applying their surveillance to billionaires first? It seems likely that they would find more extensive and more deeply abject crime if they looked straight into their business, and not into everybody else's perfectly legal and free lives.

Of course, that question is rhetorical. The purpose of a system is what the system does.

@signalapp die Gedanken sind nimmer frei

@jonathantrott i still am not sure signal's centralised nature works for me.
But yeah the government shouldn't mess.

@signalapp OMG! Aren't we facing enough surveillance, already??

@linuxmatters I use Pocket Casts on my phone.

@linuxmatters @AntennaPod If I'm on my Android device I use AntennaPod. If I'm on my iPhone, I use Apple PodCasts.

@linuxmatters @AntennaPod antenna pod actually

@linuxmatters That's funny, I don't see "ancient hacky bash script" anywhere on that list...

@linuxmatters
@AntennaPod
AntennaPod, of course!

@linuxmatters @AntennaPod Antennapod.

@linuxmatters Podcat

@linuxmatters @AntennaPod

AntennaPod - I'm one in the statistics.

@linuxmatters podcast addict.

@JulianOliver: IPv4 or IPv6? (I have a dynamic IPv4 address and a static #IPv6 /48 at home. Who needs IPv4 nowadays, anyway? 🤓)

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social my IP has changed maybe twice in 10 years so technically not static

@warandpeas In the future, we're going to refer to this stuff as "organic content" and you're going to pay a lot more for it.

@warandpeas "Cmon! 600 Token. All genuine. All good stuff. Look at this! All handwritten on paper, with a pencil! Man! A fricking Pencil!"

@warandpeas weird movies come to mind...

@warandpeas with Real Human(TM) grammar and spelling check!

@warandpeas The #AIpocalypse is coming

@warandpeas
YouTube has figured out that I'm not interested in all that AI crap and now only recommends videos that are more than four years old.
I love this AI! ❤️
EDIT: Translated using Deepl AI.

@warandpeas

Shouldn't it be AIpocalypse?

@warandpeas
This was really a war and I thank mastodon to strictl ai traces

@warandpeas Based. This makes me think of a song that I love dearly: "Those left standing will make millions,
Writing books on the way it should have been"

"Warning" by Incubus on their album "Morning View"

also:
"Floating in this cosmic Jacuzzi,
We are like frogs oblivious,
to the water,
starting to boil,
No one flinches, we all float face down"

Thank you for the wonderful art!

@warandpeas Yeah, but the trouble with street books is the dealers are cutting that shit with AI slop.

@warandpeas

I suspect we'll be back to storytelling around the fire for a while, too

@warandpeas #Fediverse 😀

@warandpeas It's already happening. A lot of people are advertising their stuff as "made by a real human" or "no AI".

@warandpeas I'd totally love to see a sequel of Fahrenheit 451 where real books are outlawed now in favor of AI generated ones.

@GossiTheDog WTF. Covertly uploading actual screenshots from systems it's installed on?

This Vibing one is a fun blog btw as every page it gets to be a bigger version of this

@GossiTheDog

Seriously don't know what to make of this. Rogue employees, sailing under the Microsoft flag? Fake employees?

The app itself is terrifying and stupid. I can easily imagine naïve users interested in AI installing this thing and forgetting about it.

@GossiTheDog I just reported it through Microsoft Store links. Let's see if anything comes out of it.

@GossiTheDog There is no oversight at the company.

@GossiTheDog cc @shanselman

@GossiTheDog for what it’s worth, the package family name of this thing is YaoyaoChang.Vibing_ssp53fcyfr9ha - in my opinion it doesn’t seem to look like anything “official”, but rather an employee releasing it on their own partner center account?

@GossiTheDog Now that Microsoft has a 24/7 OpenClaw team in Oslo, I expect a lot more vibe artifacts appearing from within their network...
