100% this.
“Me and most of my friends might be dead if we had to grow up under this kind of constant parental surveillance“ is a fucking dramatic statement, and yet it's the plain truth. A truth with cascading causes and effects.

Apple is unsurprisingly all-in on the nightmarish "parents know best" discourse that's justifying policies cutting off minors from digital spaces all over the world.

and this.

increased digital surveillance and constraints on kids are straight up dangerous.

Most of the cis white men commenting Apple's announcements regarding increased parental controls and restrictions on their children's devices are failing to see how dangerous these can be for queer and marginalized kids.

> “It feels like parents today need help to have better tools and guidance to make the right decisions for their children.”

Fuck no. Ask any trans kid whether their parents can make the right decisions for them. It's one thing to want to protect kids (who doesnt?), it's another to provide absolute power to the parents over them like they're their property.

Kids' rights are human rights should not be an empty statement. It should mean fight back against age verification, fight back against their systematic surveillance, fight back against removing kids' rights to digital privacy. And fight back against this insane idea that parents should inherit an almost divine right to police everything about their children's lives.

Facepalming hard

It's funny because many of these reply guys seem to assume that I care about Proton and/or finding an alternative to Proton

@aral @TTimo @makzr @EUCommission what I think really happened behind the scenes: https://nileane.fr/@nileane/116715915033912611

They just dropped a press release explaining why they chose not to release the new Siri AI in the EU: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/due-to-dma-siri-ai-delayed-in-eu-for-ios-27-and-ipados-27/

Long story short, their argument is "the EU Commission wants us to give any AI system unlimited access to a user's device", "we proposed a technical solution that we would roll out over an 18-month period", and "They said no"

RE: https://nileane.fr/@nileane/116715874283622057

So:
• With Siri AI, Apple deliberately developed a brand-new (and central) OS feature that they knew would not meet the DMA requirements they've been subjected to since 2023
• They went to the EU Commission with the proposal of a technical solution that is not ready and would not roll out before 18 months
• The EU Commission said no because lol what do you mean you plan to disobey the DMA *again* for the next 18 months
• Apple whines

"Siri AI won't be available in the EU"

oh no... anyway

Apple: Siri AI is built privacy-first!
also Apple in a footnote: we can't release it in the EU because of their privacy regulations :(

step 1: discover that Proton is sponsoring a famous fascist youtuber
step 2: write a short post to let people know and include screenshots as well so people can see for themselves
step 3: get insulted by desperate sad men who would rather scream that you're spreading fake news and find excuses than consider for even one second that yes, their favorite email provider is indeed partnering with fascist influencers

never change mastodon 👍

Pour info les gens qui sont encore fans de Proton Mail : ils sponsorisent des vidéos de Vincent Lapierre (le youtubeur d'extrême droite)

Edit: je vous rajoute les captures d'écran

"omg finally", we all cried in unison

lol remember two months ago when I said I was about to revive my personal website but then i shipped a mac app instead which has its own website

my personal website is still on my drive, it exists and it is in fact in the room with us, I promise

I really wish I had the money to upgrade my M2 MacBook Air. it's becoming atrocious to deal with the 256GB of storage. macOS SLOWS to an absolute crawl when the disk gets close to full

sad thing is, I knew the M2 Air had devaluated on the second-hand market lately, but I didn't expect it to go for as low as €500 or sometimes even less 🥲

anyway, buy my mac launcher to help fund my new Mac pretty please https://tinystart.app
