BasicAppleGuyWho remembers when Apple briefly sold a cheaper version of the iPod touch in 2013 with no rear camera, less storage, and a worse FaceTime camera to cut costs?

Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅So, it turns out the German implementation of eIDAS (electronic ID wallet for e.g. age attestation) will require an Apple/Google account to function
Absolutely pathetic
GrapheneOSPeople are going to have their personal info leaked by third party age verification services due to these laws. Children are going to be harmed by apps and websites changing their behavior to exploit them. It isn't going to stop minors finding pornography if they want to find it.
zachary 🌟no one needs it, but it's cool:
an old version of the macOS flurry screensaver is open source, so a few prompts later we can have it ported to Metal and running in a tvOS app https://github.com/zadr/flurry
🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄)#PSA: posting photos and videos of your kids online ensures they'll never be able to meaningfully opt out of privacy invasion.
80% of children have an online presence by age two, with parents sharing an average of 1,500 images before their fifth birthday. —2017, Northumbria University
By the age of 13, children have had an average of 1,300 photos and videos of themselves posted to social media by their parents. —2018, UK Children's Commissioner
Jesper LundThe Commission stands with Big Tech in an utterly wild letter that puts pressure on the democratically elected European Parliament to abandon their rights respecting vote on #ChatControl 1.0 just two weeks ago, and instead give Big Tech two-more-years of mass surveillance of our private communications without any safeguards.
@aral These laws dictating the information can only be used for gating access based on age is beyond ridiculous. There's no doubt they're aware it's going to be heavily used beyond the permitted use. It cannot be excused as naivety. These same governments often treat birth dates as highly sensitive information usable as a core part of authenticating people's identity. Meanwhile, they're passing laws forcing operating systems and browsers to leak the birth dates of minors to apps and websites.
Eric SchultzA small set of people are merging changes to various Linux components to make sure every application knows your birth date.
This is being done rapidly by people with questionable justifications and being merged with no youth and few marginalized people involved.

Daniel JalkutI just got a notification that a WebKit bug reported in 2007 by @danwood and that I commented on in 2010, "might be fixed" now. It only took 20 years! https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12324
