Hey, everyone. Thanks for replying. I would say yes, but I expect a high level of choice (I choose the goals, not someone else), transparency (I know how it works, at least at a high level), and control (I can turn it on and off, I can configure or modify it). I think these have become pretty common principles for Fediverse software in general, so I think that would be likely outcomes.

So if you're using Proton thinking it's "privacy-focused", it turns out they're giving data to the Feebs now. https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/
NEW: Italian prosecutors confirm that the phone of journalist Francesco Cancellato was hacked with Paragon spyware at the same time as the phones of two immigration activists.
The Italian government admitted the hack on the activists, but said it wasn't behind Cancellato's hack.
So who was? The mystery continues. And Cancellato, as well as his colleague Ciro Pellegrino, who was also allegedly hacked, are demanding answers.

Italian authorities are making progress in their investigation into a wide-ranging spyware scandal in Italy involving Paragon spyware. But the mystery of who hacked two Italian journalists with Paragon spyware continues.

HUGE PSA. There is no way to add your iPhone with Apple Care on an iPhone Upgrade Program to Apple Care One. No matter what they tell you. They require you to LEAVE the Apple Upgrade program to do so. Absolute garbage customer service. Garbage. Avoid Apple Care One at all costs! Cc

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/

Calling code generated with a large language model 'clean room' is just silly. These are trained on everything, including the code you're claiming isn't in the room.

A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the FBI.

Hi 
@FediTips 👋
I was wondering, how about writing a tip about putting all the hashtags (or at least most of them) at the very end of a post?
When hashtags are at the end of the post then the web interface (and maybe apps? not sure…) will only show the first couple of tags and then add a "more" link for the rest.
Even without that feature putting all the hashtags at the end makes the post less cluttered and easier to read.
Thanks for considering this!
The great thing with having front-loaded enormous, life-destroying trauma when I was at uni is that no matter how fucked things get it's pretty fucking hard to compete with that... :)
Was a sharp lesson in how quickly people walk away from you when things are hard too.

그럼 이럴때 인버스를 사면 되지 않냐는 질문이 있을 수 있겠지만 결론적으로는 좋지 않습니다. 공포심리로 인해 시초가가 저점일 가능성이 크기 때문입니다. 물론 시초가 이후 안정 과정에서 한 차례 언더슛이 생겨 주워먹을 자리가 나올 수도 있지만 얻을 수 있는 리턴 대비 리스크가 너무 커요. 그래서 이럴때는 최대한 프리장에서 엑싯을 하거나, 시초가를 잘 보고 방어적으로 평단을 낮춰야 합니다.

I hate how everyone is like “this is gonna be so much better for you!” while I stare into the inky black darkness of my soul as my life crumbles around me.
Some one said they wanted boobs.
And I was like, "don't we all!?"
Not in the same context, or for the same goals but, yeah. This is why I always say: less drama, more boobs
Just imagine a world where this was possible. Without the prudes getting offended, or the incels getting violent.
So anyway, I hope everyone gets, with the proper consent, the boobs they want or desire.
그래서 다른 채널에서 어제 예측했던것처럼 상당량의 갭하 물량이 나오고, 진폭이 큰 Whip-Saw 패턴이 나올 가능성이 큽니다. 하락은 있지만 하락만 있는게 아니라 진폭이 매우 클 것으로 판단됩니다. 예측되는 패턴은 갭하 출발, 장중 반등, 재하락입니다. 전체적으로 국장 큰 하락이 예측되니 특히 투자하시는 분들은 아침에 멘탈 잘 부여잡으셔야 합니다. 프리장 가격을 보고 1. 공포가 형성되지 않은 채 2. 스프레드가 좁고 3. 매수호가가 쌓여있으면 바로 좋은 가격에 남은 물량 소량을 전액 현금화, 본장을 대비합니다.

The FDA’s new regulations on wearable devices classify noninvasive devices as low risk, opening the door for more medical devices. https://spectrum.ieee.org/fda-medical-device-rules?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline
The way I expect this to go down is that Android/iOS/etc. will roll out an age bracket API call in the near future and tie that API call to some set of foundational permissions (e.g. internet access / file access / etc) - they have done this in the past, notably for API deprecation.
A minimally invasive implementation of this will likely only restrict apps running if the OS itself is being run in a kids-mode .
(But that isn't what the laws actually require)
It's a very, very short jump from "the law requires you to call this API to know a users age" to "the law requires you to call this API to backdoor the rng"
The precedent of the former makes me very uneasy.
I cannot in good conscious support software on any platform subject to a jurisdiction that mandates such calls.
(I also think making the existence of parental controls settings on an OS as mandatory is also a little iffy, but in a less catastrophic way)
RE: https://mastodon.social/@sarahjamielewis/116161459299855467
Something I want to make clear:
The "age verification" bit of the CA/CO laws are not the bit I care about i.e. a law that requires an operating systems to implement some kind of parental control feature is...whatever.
The bits I care about are the obligations on developers to call APIs and then that invocation being taken as evidence of knowledge.
Specifically, I think a -legal- requirement to:
- make any kind of call is an attack on speech
- know a users age (bracket) is a privacy violation
