> In addition, Google will also support the option to download an OPML file of their show subscriptions from Google Podcasts, which they can upload to any app that supports importing if they don’t want to move to YouTube Music.
I will break the HN spirit, but im fucking horrified of this thread. _So_ many people being happy that a company is protecting them from themselves, or their family members. Where is my controversial personal websites? Did i take a wrong left turn somewhere?
This is an opt-in feature. You can enable it for yourself. It is also available as a parental control for your kid's devices. I think that is 100% appropriate.
I don't want to see dick pic spam. Actually I don't want anyone to send me naked pictures. Previously it was up to every messaging app to figure this out themselves. Now they can use the Sensitive Content Analysis framework. It also means they don't need to give PTSD to humans building a model to classify crap like CSAM images.
All it does is detection. It is up to the app whether to prohibit sending/receiving the message, how to notify the user, etc. The API documentation says this:
> Apple provides the SensitiveContentAnalysis framework to prevent people from viewing unwanted content, not as a way for an app to report on someone’s behavior. To protect user privacy, don’t transmit any information off the user’s device about whether the SensitiveContentAnalysis framework has identified an image or video as containing nudity. For more information, see the Developer Program License Agreement.
This is how they sold it: of course, nobody wants to see unsolicited dick pics. Good framing, they obviously pay their marketing department very well.
Yet, consider how many unsolicited dick pics you actually see in a day, week, or month- and if sometimes blocking a % of them is worth permanently ceding more privacy to Apple.
If you’re seeing so many dick pics to where this is positive trade off for you, you need to reflect on how you’re interacting with the web.
I’m going to go on a limb and guess you’re a dude.
I suggest you expand your social circle and talk to some women that are moderately active on social media.
Women are nowadays confronted with their face generated on fake porn by AI, hell some are confronted with generated sexual abuse as a form of threat and harassment if they piss off the wrong person, and you’re out here talking about dick pics.
What’s worse is that you just couldn’t resist to add a dash of misogynistic victim blaming as a cherry on top.
It’s not even being prudish. It’s clearly informing you that hey, be careful about sending nudes because you might not realize the consequences – the messaging is about as nonjudgmental as it gets. As someone who has who has literally made amateur porn and probably as far from prude at it gets, this really doesn’t register on my prude detector.
Thats not the best counterargument, because Bitcoin has privacy qualities by default. You can hop on to any block explorer and accept every address as another user, but you cant verify that (without expensive analysis, on a case-by-case basis) those are not owned by the same guy. Same with Tor, while some data like bridge usage is being collected somehow (i havent looked into it) you cant reliably prove that thousands/millions are using it to protect their privacy and resist censorship.
It's pretty obvious that the majority of transaction volume and value is rubbish. Bots buying, selling, and trading to each other with millions of addresses. The actual real user count for crypto would be a very tiny % of the active addresses. And the real value not even close to the claimed market caps.
I'm not talking about "crypto", I'm talking about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not free to send or trade. The vast majority of Bitcoin is held by long term holders and hasn't moved on chain in years. Saving in hard money is the primary use case. Hashing secures those Bitcon from being reversed out of your wallet right back to the very first block.
How can you verify that? Other than, you know, "something that a anti-crypto bro on the Internet told you?"
I'm being slightly salty here but i dont get the backlash on crypto. It has a huge potential for safeguarding privacy (Monero) and avoiding corporate walled gardens and banks.
There definitely should be a scientific limit for addictiveness, meth versus cigarettes for example. I dont quite care if somebody can scientifically stop taking an addictive substance with reasonable self-discipline but it becomes a problem and elimination of the freedom status if its too addictive that it effectively takes over your brain.
Teaching newbies 'independence' by downloading random untrusted files off the internet and running them as system admin...not a cool guide i would say.
My previous version of https://sive.rs/ti (until a few hours ago) had no shell script, but just walked people through every step. It took like 50+ hours to write up.
But so many people were getting stuck and frustrated trying to type in all those commands, (and mistaking "l" for "1" and such), that I realized I could help more people have their own server if I put most of those steps into a shell script.
Hopefully it'll be enough to give them a taste of the benefits of having their own server, then they can learn more about the steps afterwards.
While i get the pain of users, i've observed that habits stick and only a weak 5-20% of the learners actually drop convenient-but-insecure habits (downloading untrusted files without inspection beforehand) because convinence always wins over. I wouldnt change the system but definitely mention (more than once) the risks involved with what they are doing at the moment and to inspect the code later when they learn more.
C’mon. The scripts are public, you can inspect them before running them. The other alternative is to explain line by line the hundreds of lines in the scripts. Not very practical.
While i agree, the issue is the target audience. If this was directed at more technical and knowledgeable tech-savvy people one-upping their game, i would be very glad and thankful for a shell script. However, its not. Its a potential starting point for being, in cool nerd terms, webmaster, and that has its own set of responsibilites and habits, habits like not downloading files and packages without checking first. While some might change the habit after learning more, i doubt that many will do that.
I'm sure that this is a very low quality text - I was reading the Swedish language version. It has technical qualities similar to human language which makes it harder to pinpoint the problem, but it does not read like something a proficient writer would create.
It is translating too literally, preserving almost every word from the original (while adapting sentence structure) and that's maybe the thing I can most easily pinpoint. Colloquial phrasing like "We also had these enormous PCs that Nvidia had lent us" is preserved by translating literally instead of choosing an equivalent level of conversational language but more natural word choice.
