Yep. They even made a new 3310.

Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

This company wasn’t exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.

Woodworking and rock climbing scratch the problem solving itch in different ways, on top of the creative (in woodworking) and physical exercise (rock climbing) itches common in most people.

The problem is the cat’s out of the bag.

Open source image generators already exist and have been widely disseminated worldwide.

So all you’d end up doing is putting up a roadblock for legitimate uses. Anybody using it to cause harm will not be seriously impeded. They can just pick up the software from a Russian/Chinese/EU host or less official distribution methods.

It would be as effective as the US trying to outlaw the exporting of strong encryption standards in the 90s. That is to say, completely ineffective and actually harmful. Enemies of the US were still using strong encryption anyway.

Would it be a crime to have access to the software, or would they need to catch the criminals with the images and video files?

Problem with the former is that would outlaw any self hosted image generator. Any image generator is capable of use for deep fake porn

It’s not specific to e-girls. Can be twitch streamers, bloggers, etc

Ah. That’ll do it.

And desktop mode doesn’t help?

Zygist is a way of hiding the fact that you have root access . Likely your bank changed absolutely nothing.

That it is, but at least it’s not sending your card details to me.

There’s also the fact that on Win/Mac/Linux, you’re interacting with the bank via a browser and not a bespoke app.

That’s actually got a solid reason behind it.

It’s because the OSK is just another program as far as Android is concerned. It can’t directly look into the application, per Android specifications, but it CAN record key presses, even for passwords. It even receives context hints based on the metadata on the input box, so it knows when you’re putting in a password. Then it can send your data off to unknown servers.

If they’re caught making deals with Democrats, they end up losing the support of the so-called ‘moderate’ GOP, so their actions will fail anyway

EAC doesn’t open up ports into your network as far as I’m aware.

No but the game code does. And that game code also interacts with EAC. You can argue it’s a bug in Apex Legends, and it would be that too, but the fact is that EAC shouldn’t be executing arbitrary commands based on what the game code has given it, so if that possibility exists in EAC, it is still an RCE in Apex Legends and a kernel privilege escalation flaw in EAC.

The point isn’t for other fedi users. It’s to deter Threads users from becoming proper fedi users. It used to be those popups only appeared when something genuinely touchy came up. Now they’re used for anything the parent company doesn’t like as a scare tactic but people don’t realise it. Google does this too with Play Protect.

Stage 1 of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

The government is already the one who makes that decision. The only thing new here is a line being drawn with regards to social media’s push towards addiction and echo-chamberism.

So…pornhub has actually had problems with CSAM. It used to be much more of a Youtube-like platform where anyone can upload.

Even without that aspect, there are a looot of producers that don’t do their checks well and a lot of underage actresses that fall through the cracks

I’m confused now. What is a “reader app”?

This is some of Apple’s own terminology. It applies to any application who’s main purpose is to serve up audial, visual or text-based media.

Apple allows these apps to access existing accounts via apps but not create new ones.
