Fag in Norwegians has norse origins while faggot developed independently and only recently become a slur and come out of American vernacular.

In older English it was used to mean a burdensome person and it’s sort of resumed that meaning as it’s now often used to mean someone who is annoying.

Adding a fun double entendre when used to describe a homophobic person.

Nope. They use perceptual hashing. That way water marking and cropped images still trigger against the casm scanners.

The known casm results in a specific hash. Modified versions of that will result in a different hash but such that the “distance” is meaningful. The distance is how many bits need to flip to match the known casm hash.

It can lead to false positives so that’s why manually checking occurs. It’s also why people got very upset that Apple and perhaps others were going to automatically do these checks during upload to the cloud. When performed against billions of images, the false positive rate becomes huge and manually checking becomes too much overhead so people would be falsely accused.

It’s very likely what they found in groks models is a false positive but in this case they can probably compel twitter to prove it’s a false positive.

You can’t pants people who aren’t wearing any. These guys are all wearing “Emperor’s new clothes” styled garments

He can impose tarrfis that would effect Google and Apple. Fascism doesn’t need willing corporate involvement, there are a lot of mechanisms they can deploy with unchecked power.

I would think Apple is more susceptible and has likely already folded and is just slower to deploy. They’ve already bent the knee. I think a new ceo just took over but I doubt he’ll have any more of a backbone.

It’s easier than that. Dairy cows can get fatty livers during calving if improperly fed.

🇺🇸But it’s the greatest shithole nation! 🇺🇸

I think distribution is actually a stronger claim. There is a lot of precedence on distribution of things that are otherwise covered under free speech.

I’m not sure who could claim standing.

People in that culture try to make the argument that it gives pedophiles a way to manage their feelings without harming any children. But in reality, it’s seeming more like giving suicidal patients access to guns.

Why assume when there is data? The rates of child sexual abuse are about the same in Japan.

For your assumption to hold, the rate would need to be higher. The data says it doesn’t matter.

Caveat, only numbers I can find are child abuse survivor rates. But if reducing abuse rate outcomes is the goal these numbers feel adequate.

Writing one of these is a weekend project for any seasoned developer.

Any idea that you can make software illegal ignores the reality that the code itself is free speech.

I’ve been told by a Gen Alpha that I give off the same vibe for using periods to end my texts.

It’s normal to have a $773 electric bill?

It’s more likely that their custom payment option isn’t hitting targets. They invested a lot into something that is more complicated process compared to tap to pay. Its the sort of system that only exists because some clueless executive was pushing it. Writing a check would be faster.

Optional being a critical component you just ignored.

The American prison system is already tourtue.

Activist investors threaten to toss the board.

Both. First timeline I take the billion, invented time travel and enter the second timeline to go get the $19 too.

Who gave you permission to talk?

Why wait for the night? You can fuck where and when you want, it’s your house.

Why so contrvived?

In his panic he accidentally carried one of his sex victims to safety.
