Isn't this just an extension of a previous Python feature? Wasn't there one which said something like "we *still* don't do type safety, but we'll let you write some code to pretend that you're being type safe"?
@TimWardCam Um. Compile time checks with gradual typing? Is that what you're getting at? This feels like a holy way and I probably shouldn't, but... That's a pretty common & productive stance. Just the same as Typescript. Or Clojure! Even C# is doing it these days. Am I missing the point?
@tartley Yeah, it's holy war stuff. I personally prefer compile time strong typing.
(Within limits that is. Not as strong as Algol68C, which was so pedantic that it was almost impossible to write code that compiled. But that did have the advantage that if you ever managed to wrestle your code through the compiler it probably didn't have any bugs left in it.)
@TimWardCam I see, thanks for helping me understand. I spent fifteen years "progressing" through C, C++ and C#, so I think I know what you mean about the warm glow of a perfectly typed program (do I?), but nowadays I look back on those with dread, compared to sprinkling some judicious types on the external API of a Python program. I'm a big TDD fan, which probably puts a thumb on the scales - I'm relying on that for some of the things types would do for me.
@TimWardCam and, nitpick, but of course Python *is* compile time strong typing. I think you mean static, is that right?
@tartley I may or may not have the correct terminology, but what I like is having the compiler tell me there's a type error rather than wait until, months later on the other side of the world, it fails in production.
(removing devopscats). Right, I get that. I find that quite rare, but of course you are right, it does happen, and no doubt I've internalized and don't notice the cost of the techniques I've accumulated to minimize it. Peace!

So, code that compiles will never be pushed to production.

if you bevel the edges of the model ever ever so slightly it makes it look much better on stuff like this with very sharp edges.

Review: The Word for World is Forest
The Word for World is Forest is a science-fiction novel by Ursula Le Guin, although the science-fiction elements are very much just window-dressing. This story is very much an analogue for the USโ involvement in the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, the story has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Right from the first chapter, Le Guin makes her opposition to the war evident.

Question - from a new user
Ello folks! I've recently joined the Friendica universe, and I'm still figuring out how it all works.
I've followed my other Fedi accounts with this one, so that I can boost things on here
But... Not all the posts/toots are visible. When I check the updates of my friends, where my own profiles are in, it shows some of my other posts. When I load the profile time-line of the account, it shows some of the posts.
Any reason why it doesn't show all the latest ones? Is it a setting that I need to change?
Thanks in advance for your help! ๐น

@doomy They shouldnt use the fediverse if they cant abide by the basic rules that make this place great to begin with. So no i will not shut it.
@doomy One of those is federation. Everyone signing up to 1 instance makes us no better than Twitter or Threads.
@doomy People who use fedi should respect why fedi is a great place to join to begin with, otherwise we devolve into the same bad habits that make twitter and threads so horrible.
@bunnyechoes @v0idness @eb Yep, as an example they've banned / hidden posts from journalist / researcher Elia Ayoub (ayoub @ spore.social) a number of times, and AFAIK he's been far from straying over the line into antisemitism.
Of course I could have missed stuff, but the bans this far have been reversed, so it seems even .social's mods agree when pressed.

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?
If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".
You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

@m04 Plus, it appears to only affect Google Messages (who uses that for anything?), not scanning the entire device?
Hi @jack, not loving #Google at all (see my bio) but to be fair, there seems to be a substantial difference between this and what #Apple wanted to do: Google says none of the scanning results will ever leave your device, even positive ones. No law enforcement notification. No server-side collection. It seems to basically be an advanced local #spam filter for #RCS text messages.
BohwaZ reshared this.
@ilumium On the other hand, Google is the company that started with the "don't be evil" motto. Not sure about trusting them (or any other big company).
@ddritter Agrees, no reason to trust Google, just trying to avoid misinformation re what this announcement appears to be about.
@ilumium Appleโs proposal was two parts:
1. Scan images for CSAM as they are encrypted for upload to iCloud. If CSAM is detected, also send Apple a fragment of the encryption key.
At the time, photos at rest in iCloud (and others) were clear, and the NSA and various companiesโ support departments had been caught saving and distributing nudes non-consensually. This plan intrinsically involved end-to-end encryption, so it was addressing a real privacy risk. If you didnโt send images to iCloud, the CSAM scanning would never run. This was scrapped because tech media spread ridiculous misinformation about it, creating a PR disaster.
2. Scan images in incoming messages in the Messages application on minorsโ phones for nudity. If detected, obscure the image. If the minor taps to unobscure the image, notify the associated parent account.
The parent notification was dropped, and the rest of the feature was implemented in iOS 17, in late 2023. Any account can enable it, and the service is available to other messaging applications (so WhatsApp or a Mastodon client could be written to use it if the user has enabled it). This is exactly what Google has implemented.

You remember Apple succumbing to public pressure and quietly never implementing it in the first place?
Edit: Iโm gonna make a big addendum to this comment. While Apple *did* scrap plans for CSAM detection due to public pressure, they did implement an on-device mechanism for blurring โsensitive content.โ A feature much like the one on Android in the original post here, although Iโve yet to find much transparency on the Android appsโ workings. This on-device functionality works like face detection, so if youโre okay with that thereโs little reason to be alarmed.
This entry was edited (1 year ago)
@blitzen That's probably why google is so sneaky about it.
Or the explanation is simply that Google has removed word don't from their old slogan "Don't be evil"
No smiley needed.
We do for family stuff. Not ideal, but it's the only thing that everyone would agree to.
This is misinformation. If you read what Google actually wrote, it only notifies the user of nudity. Google specifically say that it doesn't notify them.
Of course Google might be lying, but there is no evidence here of any new risk.
BohwaZ reshared this.
Welcome to my FUD list.
To cite Google (via the page you linked):
Sensitive Content Warnings is an optional feature that blurs images that may contain nudity before viewing, and then prompts with a โspeed bumpโ that contains help-finding resources and options, including to view the content. When the feature is enabled, and an image that may contain nudity is about to be sent or forwarded, it also provides a speed bump to remind users of the risks of sending nude imagery and preventing accidental shares.
All of this happens on-device to protect your privacy and keep end-to-end encrypted message content private to only sender and recipient. Sensitive Content Warnings doesnโt allow Google access to the contents of your images, nor does Google know that nudity may have been detected. This feature is opt-in for adults, managed via Android Settings, and is opt-out for users under 18 years of age. Sensitive Content Warnings will be rolling out to Android 9+ devices including Android Go devices with Google Messages in the coming months.

@CatHerder @DelilahTech @blitzen
for anyone, not just people i am replying to:
what i did was go to the Google Play store and search for Android SafetyCore
when it found the app in the store, i was given the "uninstall' option
that was how i located and removed it - search did not help -
i'm sure there are other ways! but this was easiest for me and maybe others too
what this does is: local powered KI detector for spam and nudity.
grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/โฆ
The app doesn't provide client-side scanning used to report things to Google or anyone else. It provides on-device machine learning models usable by applications to classify content as being spam, scams, malware, etc. This allows apps to check content locally without sharing it with a service and mark it with warnings for users.
Does my banking app still work after disabling this? ๐
That is actually a rather poor description of what it does. Basically, the app is one that prevents dick pics.
It scans incoming images, and if it thinks they're nudes, then it shows a content warning message along with the blurred image. Additionally, it scans outgoing images and if it thinks they're nudes, it gives you the option to not send them.
However, all this scanning is done entirely on your own device, it doesn't send anything anywhere.
youre welcome!
@rustoleumlove @CatHerder @DelilahTech @blitzen Weird, I could not find it in the Play Store. But when I went to my phone's list of apps, there it was, big as life. Uninstalled.
@courtcan @CatHerder @DelilahTech @blitzen
this happened to my friend - no sign of it in the search or in the app store, as of about 3pm CST today. (i did my search and removal several hours ago..)
i have no clue what's up with this.
anyway, i hope people are able to find it and remove it
I'm finding folks saying this is happening, but not with any breakdown or evidence of the process.
Is there a geekier write-up, given that the Google writeup is decidedly slanted?
Yep, found it and uninstalled it. I don't think it was there the last time I checked that list a few days ago. There was no notification it was being installed.

As long as it happens on the device only (and thatโs what Google claims) thatโs ok. However, I have little trust in Google never changing it mind and sending the photos to their servers to analyze. I also donโt have a trust in them never sending metadata (this is something they didnโt mention at all โ I donโt know if they do it or not). Why would they know how often I send and receive nudes?

I don't have it installed. I am curious if the people getting it auto installed live in certain jurisdictions like the UK that have passed these underage censorship laws and this is how Google plans to comply.
while the incorrect explanation of what the app does plus the framing of the post raises my skepticism by quite a bit, I'm surprised that you didn't provide a Google Play link to the app which will give most people an easily accessible uninstall button.

Someone in my Discord server pointed me to this toot, and I can confirm this was silently installed on my phone. At least it's easy to remove, but how many times will they try to reinstall it?
@ParadeGrotesque @CatHerder @blitzen โAndroidโ is enough, the list of apps starting with โAndroidโ isn't that long.
It's there and it's freaking me out: Google, pushing something I didn't ask for, and not even telling me is no way to go. Next phone will be a Huawei one without Android!
OMG what a mess of a post..
DO NOT uninstall this app, unless you want to lose signature verification of APKs and open yourself to malicious app sideloading.
The SystemSafetyCore has NOTHING to do with CSAM scanning or anything similar to Apple's photo verification proposal. The proposed image scanning (on-device only) is being added to the Google Messages app itself, not to any system service apps.
Just a heads up - do not uninstall apps just because someone on the internet told you so.

the stated purpose (following the links) seems reasonable enough, but:
1. unacceptable to install silently
2. Google is not trustworthy enough for me to believe that usage would not change in future.
The page you refer to does not detail what the APK does.
All Google is saying is "Android System SafetyCore (com.google.android.safetycore) is an Android system component that provides privacy-preserving on-device user protection infrastructure for app"
What are your sources to what this APK actually does?
Only if it is degoogled and you did not install google's original GApps and play store.

Danke! Komme mir immer so naiv vor, weil ich bei solchen Dinge immer denke das mรผsste doch vom Gesetzgeber her verboten sein ....
Na ja, naiv halt ๐
Konnte ich unter "Alle Apps" finden und deinstallieren ๐
I don't believe this is an issue for GrapheneOS users.
I've bookmarked this because I fully expect it to be reinstalled without my permission at some point

Ugh. Their "reason" for invading your privacy:
*and it says it was supposed to be opt-in, but there it was on my phone so...
Thanks for this. Found it. Removed it.

2008 Video - Perth Protest Against Internet Censorship
Since the Mastodon post never federated I'm repostng here:
I'm in the process of transferring many of my videos from YouTube to my newest Peertube channel. One of the videos I found was from 2008, about a protest against the Internet Filter the Rudd govt were hoping to implement. It features former Greens senator Scott Ludlam.

My phone's not very good for nature shots. Its zoom is very limited, but I managed to get a shot of this guy as he tried to cross the nearby path. Unfortunately, he was spooked by the horde of joggers and turned back.

Unknown parent • • •@Cotopaxi Really a preference for what /you/ want. But, if you want a familiar interface and easy to get along, Linux Mint is one I would recommend. It is based off from Ubuntu, but uses the Cinnamon Desktop Interface.
That would be my recommendation; please do look more into it before making the leap of faith.
Good luck in your experience, and have patience as you learn or if things go as pleasantly.

I've dis-engaged replying to this person, because every time I reply with evidence, I'm met with a bad faith counter-argument. There is no discussion here, only an agenda.
