If this was not the timeline I live in, I would laugh myself unconscious at that title.
Changelog titled "Added 'don't be a dick' rule to ToS"
I worked with Hegseth and he is like a wet raincoat
So in your view...doing its job? I mean a raincoat is supposed to get wet, isnt it?
not on the inside, no
Not on the inside.
Easy just turn him inside out
I imagine they meant Hegseth is as if the raincoat was wet in a way that just soaks you - the opposite of helpful. Useless, even.
Does this mean he was always drunk, or...?
not so nice if the raincoat is drenched from the inside out. also I might have lied about knowing Hegseth, he's just so deeply unqualified for the job. It's fun to defame dickheads who have already defamed themselves far more than i could endeavor..
Great move.
They should have added, in really small font, "For that you must use 4chan."
Who reads the TOUs anyway?
What a burn. By also: what the hell is moxie still doing on xitter? I mean I know he does not like federation, but he could use bluesky, you know...
Sounds good to me. Just like Sun Java and their "not to be used to operate a nuclear facility" clause.
What? If that's true then why do they have AtomicBoolean?
That is such a bad take. You will want an AtomicLong to at least be able to measure the damage. This is not a black and white (true or false) situation!
3.6 Roentgen. Not great, not terrible.
Wasn't there something about json not being included in some form of foss library because it's tos forbade using it for "evil"?
In other news, Signal now protects its users by moderating any illegal content ..
.. oh wait, it's end to end encrypted .. so no .. it cannot.
(Said with fingers crossed whilst holding breath)
What are you trying to say here? It sounds like your against end to end encryption?
The opposite. End to end encryption is what's preventing moderation.
I trust open source more than I do something like WhatsApp that is owned by Meta/Facebook. The source code is on Github and I assume if there ware any concerns we would know about it. Also there's safety numbers.
You can breath now 😊
How do you know the source code on GitHub is what is being ran in production?
For Android they have reproducible builds to verify that they are using the source code from their public repo for the app distributed via Google's Play Store.
Regarding the server software, it's not that easy but because of the Signal protocol you can be sure that messages are e2e encrypted and authenticated. They also have the sealed sender feature which hides the identity of the sender. So it shouldn't really matter what software a server is using.
Well you can still 'moderate' if the ends choose to be open.
And you can ban identified bad users
“You have been banned for conducting an unauthorized airstrike. If you have reason to appeal this ban, please message the moderators within 3 days.”
Weekend plans ruined.
