Abandoning gamers?

Yes, everyone is panicking about gamers 😂

Bots using residential proxies would ban bunch of users forever.

Because he can send sanctioned GPUs to China. His personal wealth has little to do with it.

The source article from routers covers this better:

His curiosity piqued, Kauffman said he used a combination of OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code to hunt for a reason why, eventually stumbling on a compendium stored “deep in the bowels” ‌of Apple’s operating ⁠system. He said there were different ways to count the number of gray-listed words and phrases and their various permutations, but a conservative estimate would put them at about 100,000

So he’s talking about phrases and permutations in multiple languages. I guess 100k can make sense in that context. They also link to this. It explains how some words are tagged as “sensitive”. It just sounds like they want to make sure the keyboard doesn’t autocorrect to something offensive. I think there are about 100k bigger issues than that.

Sounds like BS. 100,000 words and phrases? Looks like more commonly written phrases always win over similar, less common ones. You can probably find millions of such less common phrases. It doesn’t mean they are actually listed somewhere in the system.

Most “bosses” in my previous company were selected by elimination. Competent people were promoted and moved to other parts of the organization and whoever was most senior got to be the next boss. Then when they failed at the job the next most senior person replaced them.

I’ve used iode for some time, which is similar, and it was great. I’m on GrapheneOS now and it’s also good. De-google Android is doing great for now.

Anyone ever got a phone from kickstarer? Can you trust it will deliver updates 5 years from now?

The article says it runs OdysseyOS. It’s not open source? Looks like it’s based on AOSP.

Yes, one bug invalidates the whole project. As everyone knows, no bugs in glibc were ever discovered.

Typical user will still install WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail and Facebook, give them all the permissions and willingly input all their data into them. I really don’t see what the benefit of GOS is here. Setting up alternatives for all those apps is more complicated than installing GOS.

I would say that if installing GOS is too complicated for you, you don’t really need it. De-googling, privacy and security take more effort than just owning a phone with some specific OS. Simply having GOS on your phone is meaningless if you don’t know how to use it properly.

It’s locking down newer models. Some models still have 6 years of updates ahead of them. It’s a bit too early to start panicking about it.

How am I supposed to download anything if the government takes 5.5%? The checksums will not match!

Bing Bing! Bing! This is the correct answer.

Everyone was hyping AI, the stock went up, they got richer. They push AI search to inflate the bubble. They will not lose a cent when it all collapses. They will buy more stock and get even richer eventually.

They already do it. They already recommend products in the AI results.

Buy! Buy! Buy!

US police was using magic wands to detect drugs at schools and mark lockers that need to be searched. AI is not that strange.

Yes, just use Bluetooth. Or cut the speaker off completely from internet on router level and lose some functionality. Some tools are not compatible with security/privacy.

Seeing comments from people that have one of those on lemmy reminds me that not everyone here is a tech-savvy person and/or knows/cares about privacy.
