Meet ICEblock: The app that lets residents know when immigration agents are in their community

Jump

  • The point they're trying to make is that while Apple location collects anonymized data, the app itself could collect that data and send it off with a unique identifier. Like Strava except it's spyware. It has location and internet permissions, and the App Store data privacy thing is self reported and not necessarily factual. We can't know unless we dissect the app because it's not open source. Right now it seems they're not doing that, but nothing is stopping them.

    Android's Fused Location Provider, even though it's provided by Google Play Services, works in the same way and is just as private as Apple's location API. They are both on device with anonymized data sent back. So IDK what the devs are talking about. But I am interested in their blog post.

  • Fused Location Provider data sent to Google is anonymized with a temporary device id anyway. They also can't tell if you needed location for this, maps, or Pokémon Go. But they do sometimes collect GPS, WiFi, and cell data. Not using it is more private but I don't think it's worth worrying about.

  • Actually, we call it the North Pole because we already had a concept of North from the North Star. Then we invented magnets and decided that the part that points North is the North side of a magnet (despite North Pole being magnetic south).

  • You're on a forum right now, no? I think a lot of Discords have accompanying Reddits and vice versa, hopefully they start using Lemmy. But forums are still popular. Just not Ye Olde BBS

    • Please support this! As graphic designers we should be able to use a open source OS.

  • By the time they get feature parity I'll be dead. Affinity is just plain better right now, and it's not Adobe.

    • Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?

    Jump

  • Not even close. Ifixit did some testing, daily MagSafe wireless charging uses 36% more energy than a wire (which includes idle power draw). It also means slower charging.

    • Two-thirds of Americans now say they wouldn’t drive a Tesla — and most of them cite Elon Musk as the reason why, according to a new poll

  • Why Sha256? Literally every processor has a crypto accelerator and will easily pass. And datacenter servers have beefy server CPUs. This is only effective against no-JS scrapers.

    Jump

  • In your example, if gummy candy wasn't sold in the US, the exact same thing would've happened. It's more to do with vitamin packaging.

    • Does anybody here use Deluge? How do you get magnet links to work?

    • Removal of piracy communities

    Jump

  • Well, the whole point of a DMCA notice is to let you remove content BEFORE the legal action. And I don't know if you looked at it, but the Piracy sub is only discussion, with a rule that disallows any links. If anything, they'd go for the actual instance that hosts it, not this totally unrelated one. I don't think they even know Lemmy exists. And yet, the Piracy Reddit is completely fine.
