Apple is going to completely disable end-to-end encryption for iCloud accounts in the UK. https://www.macstories.net/linked/apple-to-eliminate-advanced-data-protection-for-icloud-accounts-in-the-uk/

While this may be the best course of action the company can take to effectively demonstrate the UK government's resolute willingness to build a backdoor into some of the world's largest user bases, it is also setting up a major precedent.

Apple is now effectively putting in place a process that can be re-applied in the future whenever a government requires it by law.

Step 1: Have your algorithm train every creator on your platform to use clickbait thumbnails and titles, forcing users to watch the videos to find out what they’re actually about.

Step 2: Add AI-generated summaries to let users know what a video is actually about before they have to click on it.

Step 3: Gaslight users into thinking you’re helping them, even though you’re barely solving a problem that you invented.

If you ever send me a screenshot or a photo where your computer screen is visible, there is a non-zero chance that I will spend the next 10 minutes zooming in and overanalyzing everything visible on your desktop

(I'm sorry ._.)

You gotta be a real fucking nazi if you think now is a better time than a year ago to purchase ad space on Elon Musk’s X

[Pro tip SNCF pour les pauvres]

Si vous avez un bon d'achat G30 utilisable uniquement sur une réservation TGV ou Intercités (compensation que délivre la SNCF en cas de retard de plus de 30 minutes mais de moins de 60 minutes), il y a un moyen de récupérer la thune sur votre compte en banque 🧠

Testé uniquement avec Trainline :

• Réservez un billet TGV en sélectionnant bien un tarif remboursable à 100%
• Utilisez votre bon d'achat G30 pour payer
• Demandez le remboursement du billet

Votre avoir est consommé et ne peut plus être réutilisé, cependant Trainline vous remboursera la totalité du prix du billet sur votre moyen de paiement, y compris la valeur du bon d'achat G30.

Voilà, vous avez converti la valeur de votre bon d'achat en vrais € sur votre compte 🤓

Apple’s line of rhetoric here which agitates the supposed safety of children and blankets the entirety of porn and sexual contents with the term “hardcore porn” is exactly the kind of language you’d expect to hear from the mouths of conservative politicians and far-right extremists when they try to justify the eradication and persecution of marginalized groups online.

This encompasses a wide range of marginalized communities, from LGBT people, to sex workers themselves, who seldom live in anything other than deeply precarious conditions throughout their lives.

Let this be clear; if you’re a man and kindly ask for clarification on something that I’ve posted, I appreciate that, and I will try to answer.

However, if you don’t like my answer, and find seconds in your day to blame that on my “tone,” then go fuck yourself

I don’t fucking care for your appreciation of my tone. And that’s not about to change.

Every woman on the planet would be a billionaire if they got a nickel every time they had to hear a man’s appreciation of their tone.

@paul @daringfireball I don’t think investing in VC-backed, US-based Bluesky is a good long-term business decision for any third-party developers.

@kirb “Crying about it” is a pretty condescending way of framing people's understandable outrage at the fact that Bluesky is repeatedly presented as a decentralized alternative to the Fediverse when in reality it is not — or at the very least, not about to be.

Found a new obsession
(Creating the perfect setup for listening to vinyls 🥺)

The challenge now will be to allow that newfound obsession to coexist with the Flight Simulator one

Status update: I'm currently drowning in meters of RCA cables

So now thanks to Samsung and ✨AI✨ you can... *checks notes* record your screen?

Si on connecte donc tous les points :

Le ministre de l’intérieur Bruno Retailleau annonce vouloir dissoudre la Jeune Garde une organisation antifasciste, dans la foulée il affirme son soutien à Némésis une organisation purement et simplement d’extrême droite — et tout cela le Parti socialiste l’approuve de facto en choisissant de ne pas censurer le gouvernement.

Bien bien bien.

And a message to fellow apple tech podcasters and writers reading this (specifically the men): say something for fuck's sake.

Don't pretend this isn't part of the topics you need to cover (yes it absolutely is).

Your silence is disgusting.

Call me dumb and naive if you want, but seeing Tim Cook applaud Trump at his inauguration made me think of the Pride bands for the Apple Watch that I bought over the years and how fucking humiliating it feels to own those today.

Pour @toutesdesfemmes j'ai répondu aux questions de 20 Minutes au sujet de la décision de notre association de quitter la plateforme d'Elon Musk dès le 20 janvier.

Dans quelle sorte de monde le PS s'imagine-t-il pour penser que cette manière qu'ils ont de se tourner eux-mêmes en ridicule, en allant négocier dans le vide avec la droite, peut les aider à revenir dans les urnes ?

Ce niveau de déconnexion c'est sidérant en fait
