The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.

The lawmakers write: “Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”

So let me get this straight. The current state of fediverse integration on Threads is that you can write posts that federate, people can read and reply to them, you can like their replies, but you can't reply back, repost, or even share the post from Threads. And that's how they're gonna leave it.

The fediverse is on maintenance mode

Threads still supports federation with other apps like Mastodon, but Hayes was clear that it's not a top priority for the current roadmap. "It's something that we're supporting, it's something that we're maintaining, but it's not the thing that we're talking about that's gonna help the app break out," he said.
"As someone who has built a zillion consumer products, it's just really hard to keep these divergent platforms and products consistent on the same protocol over time," he explained.

"There's always going to be the trade-offs that these companies are thinking about of how much energy do I want to pour into compatibility with this ecosystem versus iterating on this thing I'm building and seeing what's valuable.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/115737483111161917

I'll elaborate. I believe we're in an AI bubble. AI companies are pushing the overton window on AI discourse. They want the most extreme anti-AI sentiment to be "Sure, it's an overhyped technology right now but there will be reasonable applications down the road". I want to see pushback on this. It doesn't matter if I can disable some AI feature in the settings. The fact that Mozilla is jumping on this bandwagon is deeply disappointing to me.

I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI means it's no longer the browser for me. Thankfully unlike Chrome, Vivaldi supports the uBlock Origin extension which is the most important extension for being able to browse the web nowadays.

Color photograph of an attic window in the Palais Carli in Marseille. Through the window, you can see the roofs of the surrounding houses. The window itself is old and dirty. The window frame is almost completely black due to the strong contrast, and below the window, the white surface of the radiator stands out with its striking shape.
