  • they can keep the system signed, secure and intact

    If you cannot set up your own signed, secure and intact system outside of the one Apple controls, none of those matter. If they truly gave a shit about security they would do what Linux does and allow anyone to self host their entire software infrastructure including package repositories, or at the very least do what Android does and allow installing of other app stores (including one you can self host). Signed, secure and intact are worthless if you are forced to trust someone else’s app store and signatures.

    Of course the real reason they do this is to prevent people from 1, running pirated versions of paid apps, and 2, bypassing their in app purchase commission. DRM to ensure they get their cut. Signed, secure and intact have not a damn thing to do with it.









  • If you have no qualms about pretending to be a sexual assault survivor, trauma counselor, and/or a Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter, you meet the dictionary definition of a sociopath. And I don’t give a shit about “oh it’s AI doing it not the people.” I’m sorry, is the AI sentient? No. The humans are, and they chose to run the AI. I don’t even care if those personas were entirely the AI’s creation, if you didn’t stop the AI as soon as you realize it was going there you’re still a horrible person. Same with if you didn’t even check what the AI was doing while running this “”“research”“”
