A connected device keeps scanning you and your surrounding (and no mean to switch it off according to posts in apple forum) ... it sounds dodgy as. If Apple isn't spying on its users, it is not yet.

Imagine being so fucking jewish that you believe anything you described is moral, legal, or even remotely acceptable from a business perspective.

lol no, they don’t do that.

partly admits

They admitted nothing. It’s not happening. You’re just libeling.

ive been sucked into their ecosystem for so long idk if i can get out of it

Apple opposes Right to Repair (1, 2) and slows down old phones (NPR, BBC) which leads to people buying new phones earlier which is shit for the environment and of course not really owning a product you bought is shit, drove their factory workers to suicde (The Guardian), they are anti-competitive with their app-store, their products are overpriced, blablabla - don't buy Apple.

(yeah yeah, Apple isn't the worst, but that doesn't validate buying their crap or even claiming it's "good")

I don't see any evidence for expressions or for uploading to the cloud. However, this site suffers from a confusing interface and the top link points me here where I think sometimes on a post you think it's going to link some other article when you submit it, and instead it links to the article thread as here. So if there is another article, please link to it.

It seems like the company would be violating its fiduciary duty to its stockholders not to be making a stockpile of this stuff to sell to secret agents. Imagine Trump able to see, in real time, the aggregated and individual reactions of every person watching his speech while on a phone. Imagine knowing which women are secretly impatient or contemptuous while talking to their boyfriends, and being ready to make the first move. Or the same for company mergers with billions in stock value in play. Possibilities are endless and it would be immoral for the company not to make money off that.

iphones are fine, just dont buy ones with the retarded face id software.

I watched both the CringeTok and browsed the PDF, there's literally nothing mentioned about facial expressions. But hey, iPhones are still shit, so let's just not buy them, that's the only solution for now.

Where do they admit the emotion part?

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Also here is my autist of the day https://sftn.github.io/ Reading stuff like this touches my soul almost as deep as Baudrillard or Crowley does, and those are supposed to be in every library. So it's not like stuff disappears, more like it becomes so strange that no one can read it and comprehend, the reader itself disappears. One should take care to preserve their sanity, no amount of terabytes of storage will help with that.

Everything is transitory. Without someone making an effort to preserve it, everything will be lost to time eventually.

I'm an archivist by nature. I have an innate desire to preserve things. That's why I got ~30TB worth of data, growing.

Looking back at movies from the 1920s pains me, since most of them are lost. And that's only going back a mere hundred years. Since Old Earth is a thing that is plausible, humanity might have survived multiple extinction events which occur about every 10.000 years or so. Each time whatever we build up got destroyed so hard, that even the knowledge that it ever existed is now lost. All that remains are myths about an event cheerfully described as the apocalypse.

What's a mere blog compared to the accumulations of the entire human race? Multiple times over, no less.

Everything is transitory. Including our very universe.

How is it even legal? Didn't Americans cede all kinds of liberties for the sake of "saving the children" ?

who are not equipped to navigate the challenges of having a social media account,

Adults ain't either. Especially women have a hard time, since they are addicted to attention. Social media fucks with their brains. Everytime their stupid phone makes a sound they have to check. It's really sad.

No idea who this dude is and if you're the author, but he could've started with a video or pictures showcasing what it is he's talking about. Sure, you can throw all the code at me and I'll understand a little what it does, but I'll have no idea what the final result will look like. That makes me unwilling to sift through the text.

It's also being discussed at https://notabug.io/t/saidit and in notabug's t/whatever chat.

You should make a post in that sub, maybe some people will be interested in coming to Ramble.

They could have abandon Clownflare. But they didn't.

Big tech is a cancer. Tell them Ramble is open. My host is well aware of this site and doesn't give a shit, and I'm soon moving it to owned hardware anyway.

Good. They deserve it for their refusal to defend truth.

“Once you get to the point where you look at whether content is safe or unsafe, as soon as you do that, you’ve opened a can of worms.” At best, his apolitical framing comes across as naive; at worst, as preposterous gaslighting.

So you're telling me that neither of the two authors nor their editor know what gaslighting means? Preposterous.

Lim sees the rising concerns around high-tech censorship as a business opportunity.

How embarrassing for Bloomberg to characterize shocks of supplies of reliable hosting as a he-said quote, instead of the market opportunity itself. It's almost like the authors hate the idea of supply and demand itself.

Basically it's a psyop made by the bad guys. It goes like this:

1. The world is made mostly of good people.
2. Among those there is small group of very bad child murdering psychopath satan worshipers.
3. Among those very bad people there is a small group of good people, they will fight the psychopaths from within.
4. But only if you do nothing and wait quietly.

It works because half of it is true (1-2), and sheeple intuitively know that, but it's too scary to live in the world with psychopaths and no mummy who will protect from them. https://off-guardian.org/2021/03/12/on-the-psychology-of-the-conspiracy-denier/
