If the EU actually gave a shit about CSAM, they’d engage in their own investigations and prosecutions of Epstein’s associates.

Instead, they’re trying to give surveillance capitalism the keys to the kingdom and mass surveil everyone’s communications, except themselves of-course, so they can continue their pedophile protection racket and prevent any future revolt against themselves, all of their criminal pedo and corrupt cronies, and the oligarchs they represent.

Sell all your data to the Christian corporate fascist dictatorship, so they can use it to wage psychological and economic warfare on a global scale.

Their blog implied you would need to create a separate sync account for each profile. It’d obviously be better if you could choose which profiles are linked to which account, in addition to local only.

They gave it to Kissinger after a decade of firebombing South East Asia, murdering a million peasants who only wanted a plot of land to grow rice after a century of French colonial dictatorship, denying the Vietnamese people their basic human right to democracy the entire god damn time.

That was over 5 decades ago. The prize is a joke, decided by oligarchs who are not like us, and do not stand for peace… always has been.

9.5 years is ancient in smart home devices.

Though, any company that stops supporting a device should be legally required to open source all dependencies required to operate it, or provide a full refund.

Treason

Good. They don’t deserve customers ever again.

This is how public money should be spent. Every dollar spent on proprietary code is money wasted. Every dollar spent on public code benefits every other country, org, and individual who runs that software. It reduces the cost for everyone, in perpetuity, instead of enriching some sociopathic technofascist and their oligarch investors.

This is why I switched to ZFS with sanoid+ syncoid. Any breaking update or data corruption can be rolled back, giving you the freedom to auto-update with minimal risk.

And if you roll all your dockers on ZFS as datasets + sanoid you can just rollback to the last snapshot, if that ever does happen.

Last I checked (in the last few months), GOS maintainer(s) were unsure if some proposed changes might kill the project in the near future, and I’m pretty sure that was unrelated to this announcement.

The fascist oligarchs scanning your private communications for wrongthink is the entire purpose of chat control.

Sure thing, buddy. Nice gate keeping high horse ya got there. FOSS is sure to attract more users with humble geniuses such as yourself antagonizing them. Do you also use Arch, btw?

“If you don’t spend hundreds of hours switching from big tech corp controlled platform A — you’ve used for almost 20 years — to switch to big tech corp controlled platform B, you obviously don’t support freedom and open source”

I actually contribute to the development of open source projects. Do you create/give value, or are you just a taker/user? … Or are you just salty you couldn’t see this highly predictable result coming a mile away?

This is why I didn’t bother switching to GOS, Lineage, Calyx etc despite being sick of Apple’s anti-foss monopoly — marketed as Privacy™️ and Security™️ — for years.

The late stage capitalism of western oligarchies indicated that Google’s rug pull of AOSP was an imminent inevitability. After already having to change my services and workflows multiple times over the last 2 decades — despite careful analysis and forethought — due to services ever changing value propositions, acquisitions, and all other forms of enshittification, I’m at the point where I won’t bother wasting energy on 99% of digital products unless they’re open source and I can run them indefinitely on my own Linux server.

The more dependent you grow on digital products, the more interdependent they become, and the more time and effort is required to replace or substitute them.

Mandatory ID isn’t the problem. The problem is the digital and surveillance aspect.

Straight to the Starmer gulags!

They’re better, because they were created by a neoliberal corporate-whore, instead of a fascist kleptocrat like Farage!

I like how the HN oligarchy don’t even bother to “flag” this one, and just delete it as though it never existed.

It’s a completely accurate description of Apple, and it’s even more obvious now than it was in 2020.

“Whoa! This Is Worthless”

Because we live in corporate dictatorships with the illusion of “democracy”.

Wait until you find out how most regulations are enforced by “self-reporting”… the honor system, lol.

Sinclair is already a monopoly that holds 100x more influence than any company should ever be allowed… therefore all participants motivations are entirely criminal; only to further entrench their pre-existing illegal monopoly.
