Brilliant! As an apple engineer, I think I will do the same thing with image previews in iMessage! What can go wrong?

As a young man, I found plenty of support in a variety of places. You just have to take a very small leap of faith and reject the asshole energy.
Yes exactly, the one where the muggers work alone and are unarmed and extremely slow.
How this actually goes down.
"Give me your wallet."
Reaches for gun
Is immediately tackled by second mugger
Face turned into jello
Mugger now has new 5.7
The OP is correct about one thing - escalating petty theft to a deadly conflict is generally a very stupid thing to do in the real world.
A man of culture
But there is a viable alternative. In this very thread I supplied images of the ostensibly censored prompts from a different generative website. Unless those images have ironically been censored from the lemmy instance.
The point is that in the western media model, the existence of the Disney channel doesn't mean that HBO can't exist. And even if popular sentiment means that HBO doesn't exist now because of some market force, it can certainly exist in the future if those consumer preferences change. I'd argue that western media has easily, about 200 years demonstrating this very principle.
If an autocrat bans content, it will never exist. Or rather, the only examples I can really think of where a monarch or autocrat has willingly chosen to liberalize media control, are the handful of European monarchies which ceded political authority to a liberal constitution. Whether you believe this reflects your own reality is inconsequential - it's trivially simple to demonstrate that western society has become more permissive over time compared to its illiberal counterparts.
Damn that thread got removed quickly
I had a 15 year old account shadowbanned from a community I contributed to daily because I don't register emails on Reddit accounts. Apparently that was more important than my record of thousands of productive comments.
Yes, you can obviously build your own version of event detection and remote storage, and then appify it in a way which is secure and ergonomically useful, nobody is claiming otherwise. This requires a considerable amount of expertise to do safely, and additional complexity generally expands your threat surface. For you, that may be fine. I'm pretty tech literate and have a bunch of other self hosted services, but I just don't think the additional complexity is worth maintaining for push notifications. Again, that might be different for you.
Everyone knows that socialism is when simping for autocrats doing an imperialism. That's definitely not something a reactionary shill would do in bad faith, I'd like to make that clear.
