Jag fick precis en kaffe ☕️ betald av en fattig student på Ko-Fi. Det värmer.
Jag granskar och bloggar gärna än mer. Och kaffe hjälper 😊

@worldsayer This is very true, and expected, on a per-individual basis, but I feel should be less expected on an organisational level where many people collaborate and processes are put in place to avoid mistakes. But I do realise this is also a reflection of culture and ability to speak up.
Releasing three different surveillance functions at the same time, using different technologies and for different purposes, is a rookie mistake in communication strategy; inevitably leading to confusion. The question is if one believes that Apple makes rookie mistakes like that.
Loving "The Movies That Made Us" series on Netflix. Mostly for how obvious it makes the point that you can not predict success. But yeah, also for the revelations about certain actors.

@AngelosArnis The move is US only, for now. What databases other countries will require checking against we can only imagine in our nightmares...

@JohanJ Det är ändå en viktig poäng att Apple lyckades förvirra ordentligt genom att lansera två olika funktioner samtidigt som använder helt olika teknik.
↪ Replying to @JohanJ
@JohanJ Det är det ena av två funktioner. Det som adresseras här är familjeplanen där föräldrar kan slå på notiser för om deras barn skickar eller tar emot nakenbilder (notisen är endast tänkt att skickas när barnet trycker ja, men det är fortfarande en övervakningsfunktion)

“What is the real error rate? We don't know. Apple doesn't seem to know. And since they don't know, they appear to have just thrown out a really big number. […] In this regard, Apple has provided misleading support for their algorithm […]”

Reading so much conflicting information about the Apple/CSAM project now that I need to take a step back and read more source material. Will be back with a blog post in a few days. Afraid I may have reacted on reflex based on too few sources.

@kevquirk @websmyth Interesting read, thank you.
@kevquirk @websmyth As Sarah points out here, Apple posits that they are detecting "visually similar" images rather than identical images. John's article seems to argue that only identical images are detected.

Aral has done a good job of describing the shocking developments coming out of Apple and their inevitable harm. I truly believe this is the most important fight in tech right now.

@DorotheaBaur @dashlane @1Password It worked well. Got all my passwords over to 1Password. Thing to remember: pausing cloud syncs (Dropbox et al) before export from Dashlane, since it’s an unencrypted file. And then delete after import (and empty bin). Notes and passports didn’t import, so I’ll do those manually.

@DorotheaBaur @dashlane @1Password can import most things from @dashlane so that is the route I'm pursuing now. I'll let you know how it goes :)

@JesperBylund @OpenPriv Also, this! "Apple also said it would soon let parents turn on a feature that can flag when their children send or receive any nude photos in a text message."
So in a family plan children can be outed via an iPhone alert.

Apple's proposed surveillance machine has given me a knot in the pit of my stomach. It's a really, really big deal and it's hard to summarize why. I'm glad people like Sarah take the time to compose threads like this one. Support @OpenPriv if you can. x.com/SarahJamieLewi…
Related to engineering incriminating photos onto another person's phone, I wrote 2 years ago about how immigrants are being denied entry due to contents of their photo library. In several cases the photos ended up there through WhatsApp groups.

A different perspective reflected here: twitter.com/kevquirk/status/142467…
Planning to shift from @dashlane as they killed their desktop app, which pretty much ruined the experience for me. What are some good password managers with family sharing that you'd recommend?
The deed is done.
@1Password is what I went with in case you’re wondering :) x.com/axbom/status/1…
