IDK Rick, seems like hype-driven something that will either cease to exist or leak all your data in like a half a year. At this point I’d better self-host.

Well, 1.5 milliwatts doesn’t sound a lot… But seems like for TECH(sic!)radar somehow it does.

Digg is still alive?!

None of the privacy-seeking people in their sane mind would use Instagram at all, being fair. But yes, it still sucks.

LMAO xD

Seems like a good reason for a fine :)

What are you guys getting from there? What kind of books/materials? Not to judge or spy on you (what a spy would say), but just genuinely curious.

It doesn’t really matter in the context of this particular topic. They’ve highlighted the problem and I think in here we should abstract from their personality and their conflicts with Murena & Co., and focus on the problem itself.

And the problem is that, regardless of who’s implementing the attestation technology and regardless of who is critizing it, the very concept of device attestation based on OEM/Google/Apple/Murena/GrapheneOS/whoever approval is harmful and anti-consumer at its core.

No matter who owns the authority to decide which devices are deemed “good” and which are deemed “bad”, this authority shouldn’t exist at all. Only the user should be in charge of the decision of which os to use — be it Google’s Android, GrapheneOS, MIUI, eOS, PostmarketOS or MS-DOS — OEMs/Google/Murena/etc should have no say in it.

It’s literally the same crap, just “under the new management”.

FFS, why does everyone has to waste so much screen space on those damn rounded corners and shadows and paddings for them? Why those damn designers across all companies can’t just calm the fuck down and leave the tools be tools and not some form of art?

Fuck Microslop and fuck Google.

It’s typical corporate marketing bullshit to cover up their real authoritarian censorship mechanism: https://keepandroidopen.org/

From the article it seems that it’s not even stylometry, but profile features extraction from the large amount of text. So, for example, if I have my full true profile somewhere where I never mention something like BDSM but in another place I have a blog specifically about BDSM but intentionally (and let’s assume efficiently) omit or change every single detail about myself there, then, in theory, this particular technique should fail.

But yes, nothing prevents people from using LLMs in the same way for stylometry (and I’m 101% sure that those who are interested in that are already doing so). And yes, local “rewriter” LLM would help to some extent, but I think there has been another research somewhere that LLM-produced text allows to, if not completely recover the original prompt, then at least kind of fingerprint it, so… I wouldn’t fully trust that method either :)

Useless, worthless and typical corporate bullshit to distract everyone from the actual authoritarian censorship and control still being imposed by them —> https://keepandroidopen.org/

I think it sounds more correct like:

each non-technological[-company-owned] activity we participate in has become an act of micro-revolution.

There’s nothing wrong with the digital media or streaming technology on its own. It might be even more energy-efficient than some older technologies.

What’s wrong is that now the company X Y (sheesh, you can’t even use a random alphabet letter anymore without pointing right at one of them!) owns your whole music library, decides what to remove from there and what make you add there, and just by the way also casually sells your personal data and your habits to some other companies, that also decide for you what you should read/watch/listen to/buy.

Maybe we could start by abolishing the institute of leeches called “insurance industry”? 🤔

Fixed it

So, basically, nothing useful.
