Will this apply to Lemmy “serial posters” that are definitely not bots?

I look forward to the day a documentary will be made about the 5 people/bots who serially post on Lemmy, possibly unaware they won’t be able to sell their account for karma, and what the people behind them look like/who they work for.

“Da, good comrade, now do the one with the jealous girl looking at the boyfrend checkout other chick”

“What caption?”

“Something about Linux distros”

“Ok, and now this one”

“But this is straight from .ml propaganda stack, should we?”

“JUST POST IT”

It’s truly insane what these accounts pump out in “content” every day, and how it keeps getting upvoted.

Mostly because that documentary would mean the fediverse became actually relevant.

TLDR; Fediverse, lemmy particularly has very lazy bot detection (it’s basically on the people reporting them to mods, and then mods willing to do something), and is in the middle of being overrun by them, and their agendas are questionable.

Listen, when we started these ‘shitpost’ communities, it really wasn’t with the intention to post about a demented pedophile literally shitting in public everyday. You’re taking this way too literally guys.

There’s a silver lining in it though. If some act of violence by god, or some unhappy trump supporter causes him to technically never leave office, then this will be among the Chief Pedophile’s best aged proclaims.

Thanks

I’m not ignoring it, Pegasus is very old news, never was proven to have an established backdoor and always needed a trojan horse like system to work (i.e. gullible user clicks on stuff) again that’s not limited to the fruit farm, and happens to all systems, even open source linux. If anything the fruit farm does better work at bringing awareness of potential spammers and scammers in their text and email apps.

Cloud act again applies to all not just Apple. There simply is no evidence in anything you’re presenting to substantiate ios being readily hackable in a wide scale to the extent that “even Bezos got hacked”, that’s all I’m saying. I took all of it serious, you just didn’t demonstrate anything that I wasn’t already aware of or provided demonstrable proof of your wild claims. (Articles with steps to reproduce, lists of victims, class action suits costing apple millions of dollars etc), because it never happened.

And the reason it has yet to happen, is because they still have a (not that great but still functional) bounty program, regular software updates, and still despite the most fascistic regime ever above them, have not built in a backdoor despite many prior requests.

The only thing that is increasingly happening behind the scenes probably is them secretly complying more and more with secret court orders (not court orders that are sealed, but secret courts that the public isn’t aware of, issuing orders with full legal effect) and using that to aide ICE/BPD in their gestapo shit). Which is horrible and bad, but would again be exactly what meta, alphabet and amazon are also doing.

Take care and thanks for the civil discourse.

They do teach us binary from a very young age.

Agree with all that. I wasn’t saying because the Russians are obviously using Snowden as a pawn, that other countries are so much better. Every country has to dance between these 3 dangerous behemoths. 1 of the behemoths is also very good friends or practically ruling the largest military on the face of the earth.

Your second link goes to an article with tons of ads where there one source linked to this:

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/icloud-for-windows-corrupting-videos-downloading-other-peoples-photos.2370666/page-2

One user posting something without any proof, one or two others saying me too, and then the entire thread doesn’t even get longer than 2 pages with most people fretting about Apple’s apps on windows sucking balls since before the stone age. Someone in that thread points out that if this was real, there would be tons of outlets like The Verge posting about this outlining steps to replicate etc. None of that happened.

I’m going to have to bail here buddy. I entertained a random person on the internet, im sure you’re a good person, but I have been following the fruit farm from very close for very long. Nothing I say will make you think that I’m not a hypnotised blinded by fruit person, but that’s okay.

Your other articles probably are mostly true: Apple has bent over to China because it’s one of their biggest markets and their plan to divest production from that country will take decades, but is going well.

Apple is an ad company and a streaming company. They still don’t sell personal data and are nowhere near the apocalyptic personal data harvesters like Meta, Amazon and Alphabet have built their businesses around.

They don’t get a free pass, but of all of silicon valley they are the least bad of a bunch of really rotten ones. And miles behind the ethics of Linus Torvalds.

He’s not missing it he’s omitting it. Did you even reading comprehension skill

Well, you missed a word and a comma, so perhaps we’re not all perfect. Happy Sunday Ricky

You misspelled easy conduit to spread fear proppo to progressive westerners

Not to mention while peddling population reduction propaganda on the platform of the dude that had so many kids he had to start labeling them with serial numbers and coincidentally wants to colonise another (uninhabitable) planet.

Overly complicated industry presented as overly simplistic graphic gets tons of votes from uneducated denizens. More at 11.

To name one thing: each of these uses a different definition for what a stream constitutes.

? Artists got paid for their work being broadcast. What are you talking about?

The publisher still takes a cut. Then and now

Ok, thanks for providing some sources.

In the first article I see:

As of October 6th, 2020, the vast majority of these findings have been fixed and credited. They were typically remediated within 1-2 business days (with some being fixed in as little as 4-6 hours).

Not great, not terrible either.

The other articles all read to me as a bounty program in flux but not being shut down or the corporation going muted and isolationist. They are still doing outreach and having discussions, just not at the higher payouts the bounty hunters were expected.

I was however asking links about your more wild claims “Iphones haven been hacked”, “bezos has been hacked” etc. Those are very hard to believe without any evidence.

But I’m grateful you responded in a constructive way, and posted relevant links. I just don’t think they depict the fruit farm as evil as you would like.

That said, we both want the same thing (seeing we’re here and not in spez’ backyard): decentralisation. As soon as there is a viable alternative, I’ll hop on board and even donate.

No no. One link. Just post one link, no wall of text, of a reputable news org or hackers org that substantiates any of your claims. That’s all you have to do to prove to me you want to be credible or reasonable.

I’ve reversed my position many times in light of better evidence. As I said, good luck.

You’re right they are masters of marketing which is why they couldn’t afford this type of scandal you’re describing.

App store being atrocious and bezos being hacked? Care to substantiate any of these claims?

Next you’ll say the victims of the fappening all had iphones too.

There’s plenty of substantive stuff to be mad at the fruit company for, but you’re just spreading rumours at best or wilful misinformation to try and get more people on the linux train.

Your goals are noble, but your means slightly dark.

If there was a backdoor in something this massive, we would know about it. And it wouldn’t be you writing it here but article after article and Lemmy would be plastered with memes about it for weeks if not months.

You’ll never agree to this, so I wish you the best of luck getting us all to a functioning mobile linux platform asap.

Might I politely add, that the fruit store has bet its entire image on the opposite of what you’re claiming? So if the new fruit store head farmer decides to lift the plastic lid and press the res button, they would make an irreversible decision which would be the end of them right away.

Millions of dollars of bounties both by Israeli intelligence, Apple themselves and several entities on the dark web still haven’t come up with anything near credible to support these theories. Unless you’re counting bugs found, reported and patched.

We should by all means work towards open hardware with a FOSS Linux mobile OS on it, but this theory is so tiring.

Could the fruit store technically accomplish this? Yes. Can they do it silently? Yes for at most a few weeks before it comes out. Could they weaponise it on just a few people? Again, this would come out in no time.

Ps Snowden being alive and well in Russia for this long should tell you something else too.
