Such an on-device feature would either be trivial to break (if it's an ordinary API) or be impossible to implement in an open-source browser and OS (if it's some locked-down DRM-like thing), and the latter is not privacy-preserving because proprietary software tends to be spyware.

If these moralizers would just shut up, go away, and stop trying to ruin the Internet, that'd be great.

Dynamic typing is insane. You have to keep track of the type of absolutely everything, in your head. It's like the assembly of type systems, except it makes your program slower instead of faster.

Fascist shutdown of public discourse, step by step:

1. Find out where public discourse is.
2. Post child porn on an obscure corner of it.
3. Take screenshots of the posted porn.
4. Send law enforcement to seize all the things.

They're conscripts. Nobody asked them whether they'd like to die.

No idea what that guy's talking about. I bought a bunch of furniture from Ikea 15 years ago and all of it is still standing. Even the flimsy-looking chairs.

I have rather serious doubts that this is legit. More likely some joker pretending to be from the Linux Foundation sent Redbubble a takedown request.

In a sane country, the mere attempt at blocking the establishment of a competitor would have been grounds for a Ma Bell-style dissection of both companies.

Note that humans do not exhibit this property when trained on other humans, so this would seem to prove that “AI” isn't actually intelligent.

Takeaways:

• End-to-end encryption works.
• The only trustworthy computer is your computer. Don't use cloud storage.
• The only trustworthy software is open-source software. Proprietary software serves the interests of the proprietor, not the user.

All of this was already well-known, of course, but it's always nice to get confirmation.

They also promise to help you, then send a squad of goons to your house to kidnap you and confine you indefinitely in a mental institution (read: torture chamber).

Suicide prevention organizations have been inhumanly cruel for many years, so there's nothing surprising about their cooperation with Facebook.

An infamously vicious predator walks up and bares its fangs at us, and half of you want to pet it instead of fleeing for your lives.

Words cannot express how disappointed I am.
