  • The "true" cost is and has always been the millions of lives they ended but we as a society don't seem to give a shit.

  • Says more about you if you think that's an insult.

  • Would be the best thing AI has ever done.

  • Interesting. We're coming full circle to text being read as images. Like all text was before computers.

  • Honestly baffled why anyone still gives a shit about jewels. Literal useless rocks extracted by slave labour from France's colonies with no industrial or personal uses, and formerly owned by a disgusting aristocrat as a way to show off his disgusting wealth.

    Most jewels are just aluminum oxide crystals with colored inorganic impurities. Who cares if they're stolen, just make more. The camera lens on your phone and the tube in an old school sodium vapour street light are jewels, and far purer ones than what you can dig out of the ground.

  • And they fall back to "you're the problem for dividing the left" when someone validly criticizes them or points out they're not the left.

  • Imagine thinking liberals are left wing or didn't resist all the social advancements you mentioned right alongside the cons.

  • You deserve it by grossly understating what Nazis deserve. /s

  • Stop calling yourself a "refugee" whenever big tech fucks up something you were using. Anyone who thinks having to switch software is worthy of that word has no idea what it's like to be a refugee. Check your privileged ass.

  • Even without EXIF data I would bet the actual encoding of the image will be identifiable to a specific instance of the camera software.

    Similar to how websites fingerprint your browser by rendering something in the canvas or webgl and sending back the rendered image. The exact same rendering procedure will produce slightly different images for each browser instance. I suspect browsers are fully aware and complicit in this because why the actual fuck would they not make the rendering engines deterministic to their inputs?!

  • Tons of websites record your mouse, keyboard, and scroll activity, and can play back exactly what you saw on your browser window from its backend dashboard as a video. This is called session replay. There are pre-made libraries for this you can import so it's super common, I believe Mouseflow is one of the biggest providers.

    When a mobile app, Windows app, or even website crashes nowadays, it automatically sends the crash dump to the app developer/OS vendor (the OS often does this whether the app requests it or not because the OS developer themselves are interested in what apps crash and in what ways). We're talking full memory dump, so whatever private data was in the app's memory when it crashed gets uploaded to a server somewhere without your consent, and almost certainly kept forever. God help you if the OS itself crashes because your entire computer's state is getting reported to the devs.

    Your phone's gyroscope can record what you say by sensing vibrations in the air. It may or may not be something humans will recognize as speech if played back because the frequency range is too limited, but it's been shown that there's enough information for a speech recognition AI to decode. Good chance the accelerometer and other sensors can be used in the same way, and using them together will increase the fidelity making it easier to decode. Oh did I mention no device has ever implemented permission controls for sensors so any app or even website can access them without your consent or knowledge?

  • you deserve to get your head caved in.

    Ok orc

  • I left the house just for you

  • Capitalism didn't make the smartphone but it sure as hell ruined it. Went from being the coolest device ever to the most frustrating.

  • As far as I know when you download a dmg, the OS checks its signatures against Apple's registry and only allows installation if it's approved. The developer would have submitted the app to Apple (for like $100) for them to inspect even if it's not on the "official" app store.

    Not a Mac user so please call me out if I'm just talking out my ass.

  • You wanna discuss drone warfare against the biggest electronics manufacturer in the world?

  • I assume this relies on recompiling the generated code to compare against the original binary? I wonder how much more efficient this would be if compilers would just produce the same damn binary given the same source code and settings. Honestly blows my mind how people just accept a compiler of all things not being completely deterministic as normal and how reproducible builds of the same source code are considered the holy grail of compilation and not something that should be a given.
