This morning I noticed that an app was silently installed on my device. Android System Safetycore. So what is this app for? Supposedly it is designed to blur any images that are sent to or from you the user. ::: spoiler Android Authority Article Snippet Sensitive Content Warnings is another new Google Messages feature that Google is announcing today.

New Google Spware? Probably.
New Google Spware? Probably. - Lemmy.World
I woke up this morning to find a new little friend on my phone! Android Safety Core. So what is this great new application that was non-consentually installed on my device with no indicator that it ever was except an alert from Tracker Control. (Shout out to Tracker Control on F-Droid for giving me a notif about apps when you install them. It’s the only reason I ever noticed this app was put on my phone. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ffe900a7-2d8d-48db-b8be-f89f6dff4455.jpeg] ) There isn’t a of information on it, but essentially its an app that "protects" you from obscene images on your phone. “One of the new features the company announced is called Sensitive Content Warnings. This is designed to give you more control over seeing and sending nude images. When enabled, it blurs images that might contain nudity before you view them and then prompts you with what Google calls a “speed bump” containing “help-finding resources and options, including to view the content.” The feature also kicks in and shows a so-called “speed bump” when you try to send or forward an image that might contain nudity.” - Android Authority [https://www.androidauthority.com/google-messages-nudes-3499420/] As for the Google play description, it’s very detailed about what your new friend entails. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/67310050-57f9-478b-a3d2-b3ffce0dc399.jpeg] Very descriptive. So essentially it blurs any images of nudity that is sent to you or that is seen. This is so great to me! Finally I can use my phone in peace without having to worry about all those nude images randomly showing up and attacking me anymore! Obviously the app has to see all the images that are sent to you in order to do this. I’m sure this won’t be abused! People are taking it well too. 😊 [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b2ee9b9e-48dc-4698-905c-09fbc245bac8.jpeg] [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7f4d6dd0-a3f5-468f-b327-dd087006a14d.jpeg] Alright, some good news is that the app can be uninstalled. However to find it on the store you need to look up the link in your browser. I also provided it here. [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.safetycore&hl=en-US] Dont we all love google and what it does behind our backs for us? TL;DR Google recently non-consentually installed a new “safety” feature on our devices that blur any nude images that are sent to you or seen on your phone. They didn’t include any sort of update alert or anything and simply slipped it onto devices quietly. Here’s a link [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.safetycore&hl=en-US] to the app where you can uninstall if you wish. Of course in order for an app to do this, it needs to see every photo that is ever sent to you. A clear privacy invasion if I say so myself.
Cool Audio Drama I've Been Listening To
Cool Audio Drama I've Been Listening To - Lemmy.World
I’ve recently been listening to The Sojourn as of late. Its quite the good podcast. It’s a space sci-fi/fantasy. The show is a NebulaTV original though they have some other sources on their website. One fun thing I found was their YT channel. It has lots of lore bits, excerpts, ship break downs, and even some animations. Just thought I’d recommend the show. Here’s a trailer (teaser thing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QKZTS8YnVY [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QKZTS8YnVY] ::: spoiler Story Setting Adrift in the divide between galaxies and surrounded by the vast emptiness of the intergalactic void, the Tantalus Cluster is the only home humanity has ever known. Desperate and facing starvation, humanity’s only hope is a strange nebula that has suddenly appeared beyond the edge of the cluster. Its shifting clouds may hide a source of salvation for the people of Tantalus, but time is running out. Signing on to the ambitious Avalon Expedition, Privateer Captain Cassandra Farren will face the shadows of both the past and future as she leads her small crew into the unknown in a last, desperate bid for the survival of the human race. :::
