The "NO AI" clause is conditional, though.

As mentioned in their FAQ, they will reverse that rule when it is "viable in terms of data privacy and ethicality"

unless the rampant ethical and data privacy issues around datasets are resolved via regulation.

Whilst they aren't VC-Backed, their servers already had to do nearly 10 upgrades, their "AI Detection" is backed by another, third-party AI, and it's not transparent what said service is.

And to top it off, it's a closed ecosystem. You upload your art there, and either Cara dies one day and your following is gone, or they change their policies, leadership or anything else, at which point everyone will have to move again

it's yet another case where the Fediverse and other Federated networks address the core issue that lead to this disaster - content ownership - better than systems like these do. I'm not hopeful for Cara.

I've resorted to just syncing my fault folder using Syncthing externally, surprisingly convenient

NPUs existed before recall and have other uses apart from that.

+ the collision is much less of a problem, the issue was that even if you clipped through you had to be in the walking state to open the door (you could clip through before!)

This new tactic involves doing a turnaround, after which for ~1 frame you enter the walking state in midair, allowing you to open the door after being pushed through by the penguin at the right time.

They probably mean the Super Mario 64 Decompilation Project.

The goal was to turn the finished ROM back into unable code, that would do 1:1 the same thing. They finished a couple of years back.

the metadata still isn’t.

That doesn't quite work in the case of Signal

The only data that they have, based on transparency reports and dissections of their source code, is the time you created your account and last connected to the servers.

Messages themselves are essentially only relayed, with sealed sender, and anything that would be actually useful to identify who was at a protest and who wasn't encrypted.

Things like, e.g when messages arrive at the server would have to be monitored live on compromised servers, which reasonably unless you assume* it is wiretapped already prior to a protest, isn't realistic.

*: of course, I am saying this because making an assumption and portraying it as truth (e.g assuming something is already wiretapped based on no evidence at all) is not the smartest of moves when it comes to threat modeling...especially if you wanna stay sane whilst having a threat model

At this point its not just "vote with your wallets" because they have like a 8B+ global turnover

Me not giving them 60 bucks does nothing, even the entire Fediverse not giving them 60 bucks would do nothing.

Though, them thwarting game preservation efforts on the basis of shitty DRM? Thats what I'd like to see fought.

Have you heard if VaultWarden?

Ente.io is working on a desktop app. Whilst its experimental, you can get it from the releases page on their github

doesn't mean it's not running Android, they just cannot use it for marketing/branding 🥴

RCS itself is an open standard (kind of), but Google Messages is literally the only RCS Client

There are no others. Like seriously you can barely find another usable RCS Client
