okay fedi, i finally caught up a little on the #cc #creativecommons #signals thing.

so like... there just isn't going to be a CC-NFAI (No Fucking AI) option? CC's idea of being proactive is helplessly embracing this shit and then asking the owners of AI scrapers to pretty please give credit and maybe some money based on *their* financial means? I wouldn't say this to a fellow human under normal circumstances but with respect to AI scrapers, how about fuck your financial means, you should have asked the price before you stole my shit?

Also, maybe I'm misunderstanding the whole thing, so feel free to clarify anything I stated incorrectly.

@etherdiver yuppppppp.
i mean historically, CC was a force for good, i think. Sure, some more radical folks prefer copyleft, and i was always open to the idea but I barely fell on the side of CC bc i want the right to tell nazis to fuck off. But this proposal isn't even a legal mechanism the way CC licenses were. It seems like just nicely requesting AI scrapers to respect your wishes. Toothless.

The Ultimate DEGOOGLED ANDROID ROM, now even BETTER!

Download Safing's Portmaster for FREE and take control of your network traffic: safing.io/portmaster

I already talked about the /e/ Android ROM, a while ago, and while I really love this ultimate de-googled version of Android, there were also a few concerns about security, look and feel, how degoogled it all really is, and where the data is going. The /e/ project has also been updated quite a lot since my last video, so I think it's time to take another look at /e/.

List of stuff /e/ removes from AOSP:
https://e.foundation/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/e-state-of-degooglisation.pdf

Older Android version, looks and feels like older Android


Ok, so one of the main comments I got on the video is that /e/ is based on an old version of Android. It was Android 8 in my previous video. Of course, /e/ also has releases based on newer Android versions.
On my Galaxy S9+, it goes up to Android Q (Android 10), which is also the case for a lot of phones out there.

Looks dated


One of my main problems with /e/ was that all the apps looked disjointed, using different accent colors, and sharing a kit-kat era look and feel.

I can happily report that with versions 0.15 and 0.16, this is no longer the case. The default apps, which are forks of open source android apps, now sport a nice white and blue color scheme, except for the email client and the maps app, which haven't been updated yet.

You're just giving your data to someone else


Another common comment I got on the previous video was that you were just giving your data to the /e/ project instead of giving it to Google.

While that, in itself, is a weird argument, as /e/ is a small nonprofit, and would really struggle to do anything with that data, it also doesn't apply here at all.

First, the account isn't mandatory: you can skip if if you'd prefer to use what you already have.

Second, the data you send to your /e/ account is encrypted, the /e/ project can't access it.

And third, /e/ doesn't sell ads, so they wouldn't even have any use for your data in the first place.

Now, speaking of the /e/ account, they only offered 1Gb of free storage, which was a meager amount, and you couldn't really upgrade that.

They now announced that, while the free tier is still only 1Gb, you can up that to 20Gb for 2 euros per month, all the way up to 1Tb for 13 euros per month. It's pricier than what the "big tech" companies offer, but it's still not a terrible deal, especially as this data isn't shared or accessed. If I didn't already have my own Nextcloud server, that's definitely something I'd be interested in, even if I didn't use /e/ on my phone.

The only issue is that this ecloud is basically access to a Nextcloud account, but you don't get to install your own apps on it

Not completely degoogled, or as de-googled as Lineage OS


Now another common comment I got was "just use Lineage OS instead". While /e/ is a fork of Lineage, it's also going a lot further to remove Google stuff from AOSP.

Lineage still uses the Google DNS servers, so they know what your device is trying to access, and they also use Google to connect to captive portals, like airport wifi.
It also uses Google services to aid GPS positioning, and as the Android Open Source Project webview, which calls to Google as well.

/e/ removes the connectivity check to Google, replacing it with their own servers, they removed calls to the Google time servers and replaced them with the standard provider for internet time, and while the DNS servers aren't changed automatically, you can change them in the settings as well.

So, in short, Lienage OS is great, but if you want to remove every bit of Google from your phone, /e/ is a better option.

Now some people were also saying that /e/ has "stolen" code from Lineage OS and other apps, without giving credit. This has been proven to be completely false, as they are clearly stating what they based their stuff on in their FAQ:
https://e.foundation/get-started/

Other concerns


Smartphones preinstalled with /e/ weren't available in the US or Canada when I made my previous video, now they are.

Some concerns were raised about security, especially since /e/ doesn't use the Play store, so how could we be sure that apps were unaltered binaries? the /e/ store uses the CleanAPK repositories.

We have here on Mastodon several amazing candidates for this EU panel about AI...

-----------------------
EU Commission seeks experts for AI Scientific Panel

The European Commission is setting up a scientific panel of independent experts to support the implementation and enforcement of the AI Act.

The panel will focus on general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and systems, advising the EU AI Office and national authorities on systemic risks, model classification, evaluation methodologies, and cross-border market surveillance. It will also alert the AI Office of emerging risks.

The Commission looking for 60 members for a renewable 24-month term.

Candidates should have expertise in GPAI models and systems, AI impacts, or related fields, such as model evaluation, risk assessment and mitigations, cybersecurity, emerging systemic risks, and compute measurements and thresholds. Experts must have a PhD or equivalent experience and remain independent of any AI provider.

The selection process will ensure gender balance and representation across EU Member States and EEA/EFTA countries. While *EU citizenship is not a requirement*, 80% of the experts must be from the EU or EFTA Member States.

Applications are open until 14 September.

@davidallengreen points out that when we think about how international law is faring in the current global political situation, there's a big difference between compliance & enforcement.... while (as Harold Koh famously pointed out) most countries follow international law most of the time, when a state chooses not to (or even to acknowledge its salience) we find ourselves in a world where sovereign self-restraint has (dangerously) evaporated!

Justices Let Parents Opt Children Out of Classes With L.G.B.T.Q. Storybooks

Paywall Bypass Link archive.is/fcUgW

Public schools in Maryland must allow parents with religious objections to withdraw their children from classes in which storybooks with L.G.B.T.Q. themes are discussed, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday.

The vote was 6 to 3, with the court’s liberal members in dissent.

The case extended a winning streak for claims of religious freedom at the court, gains that have often come at the expense of other values, notably gay rights.

The case concerned a new curriculum adopted in 2022 for prekindergarten through the fifth grade by the Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland’s largest school system.

The storybooks included “Pride Puppy,” an alphabet primer about a family whose puppy gets lost at a Pride parade; “Love, Violet,” about a girl who develops a crush on her female classmate; “Born Ready,” about a transgender boy; and “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding,” about a same-sex union.

At first, the school system gave parents notice when the storybooks were to be discussed, along with the opportunity to have their children excused. But school administrators soon eliminated the advance notice and opt-out policy, saying it was hard to administer, led to absenteeism and risked “exposing students who believe the storybooks represent them and their families to social stigma and isolation.”

Stupid people equate wealth with cash.

Jeff Bozo, is wealthy because he owns a good portion of Amazon. If he were to "pay his fair share" he would have to give up his ownership and put people out of work, shut down operations, and discontinue many services.

Look at the 1.1% you claim is his tax rate, which is pure bullshit by the way, and figure out how much money that is. Do you pay that on your total wealth?

Jealousy and greed do you no good at all.

Just saw a video of a #white #American girl "Explaining to her white American boyfriend how the man-or-bear thing works" where she asks him if he would rather fight a bear, or shower in a prison shower, and he goes grey and goes "oh no I get a horrible feeling in my tummy thinking of being trapped in a prison shower with those thugs!" And she says that's good that he's feeling now how women feel all the time and all I can think is... Mate that is just your #racism, your #idea that the "thugs"...
