This just kind of proves that App Store guidelines are a joke and their enforcement is selective and monopolistic. Doxing people was okay until it became too toxic to keep them on.

These type of regulations often apply only when you have x active million of users to prevent issues like this.

The same could be said for Russia or United States, both are controlled by Christian nationalists at the moment.

Sorry, I misunderstood the meaning behind the comment above.

This doesn’t change the definiton of Sexual Offences Act 2003, Section 1, so it would still only apply to people with a “penis”. But the Victims and Courts Bill has many other sections that would apply to all genders.

Yes, the language is gender neutral.

Edit: The language in Victims and Courts Bill is gender neutral and many sections would apply to all genders, but the specific rape definition remains unchanged.

I really hope they are lying. Nuclear weapons are the only way they can stop US and Israel from making Middle East a never ending conflict zone.

Keepers of the Flame: Mass Identification

In Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame, an NPC in each town as well as Helena in your hideout can Identify all items in your inventory, and you won’t even need Scrolls of Wisdom!

Mark becoming Game Lead for Path of Exile was the best thing to ever happen to this game. Finally Chris with his Diablo 2 outdated ideas is no longer stopping the basic quality of life progress.

Reminds me a bit of The Red Strings Club.

He admitted to the act but maintained his innocence, arguing that “my daughter was in a state where she could have resisted”.

Child rapist mentality.

Technology definition is so broad that it could fit 90% of the general news into it.

I understand that everyone feels that technology should only apply to what they think technology is, but that’s why there is a section in the sidebar to specify what it means in this community.

Twitch has no competiton. As of 2024 they had 61% of total watch time across all live streaming platforms. It’s the kind of share that other industries would kill to have. None of the other streaming markets or even VOD platforms can achieve these numbers.

Take music streaming, Spotify only has ~32% of the market share even though they are kind of ubiquitous with music streaming at this point.

The real story here is the insane monopoly power that Cloudflare has. Even updating robots.txt files without your input (though it did require opt-in at some point). One monopoly power trying to fuck over the other one is not the win you think it is.

WAFs are not captchas. Do some research.

Payment proccesors are generally immune from liability for all legal transactions if they have monitoring for illegal activities setup in accordance with regulations. So unless they have direct knowledge that transaction is fraudulent or could as a direct result lead a crime they can’t be held liable.

I think it’s going to kill free search engines because it can go do a search on all of them at once in seconds and no human will ever see those ads.

So sites will move to paywalls or aggresive WAFs and those LLMs will become useless at the same time succeeding in killing search engines leaving no viable alternatives.

Already half the public internet is inaccessible without allowing to be heavily fingerprinted and be tracked just to prove you are a human user.

One thing people need to understand is that YouTube copyright claim process is not a legal process. It can become a legal process if both sides dispute each others claims, but the actual claim system is not a legal process. As a result Google is always acting like all claims are valid even when they are most obviously bullshit simply to not piss of copyright holders and lead them to sueing YouTube for not enforcing DMCA. Once claim is disputed they will review the claim manually, but then it comes down to how much risk YouTube want to take on themselves. Most often they don’t want any risk.

The whole YouTube site is built on trust that YouTube will enforce DMCA with their custom system and save everyone money by copyright holders not having to file legal claims for each DMCA case individually and them not suying YouTube in return. Without that “trust” YouTube wouldn’t exist as it would have been klilled in the first years of its existance by legal fees.

But clergy are still not required to report abuse to civil authorities, unless a country’s laws require it, while any revelations made in confession remain private.
