It desensitises the dick. Same reason for FGM. Beyond all of this, it is just a marker for tribal in-groups, a method of trust for converts into the religion, and a method of control.

You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Put those on interior design and architecture websites. The people deciding what product serves what context will be smart enough to figure it out.

Check your android devices for an app called "Android system Safetycore" (lemmy.world)
 

People are noticing that their phones are getting an app called "Android System Safetycore" auto-installed without notice or consent. Check your phone for the same, it is likely it's a slow rollout instead of every device getting it installed all at the same time.

Google has all the same old reasons that they drone on about, but the actual reason is likely to harvest your messages data for training AI models.

Uninstalling seems to remove the application, and there aren't any malicious activity reported so far as I can see, but naturally that can change anytime.

Has anyone noticed this in their applications lists? Did straight up uninstalling them work? I've had some trouble removing systems apps in the past, but uninstalling this one seems to have worked straightaway - I don't see them in the list anymore.

List Open Source Workout Trackers you use here. (lemmy.world)

Does anyone here use any Open-Source Workout Trackers? I've been using hevy, but their high fees, the fact that they are a company that holds my health data and has made no commitments to open source, User privacy, or fair trade practices like user data import/export has me looking around. I wanted to see if anyone had reliable open source alternatives.

Tell me your workout tracking stories here! Tell me what you liked and what you disliked.

Piped link to Fireship's video about C2PA (piped.video)
 

Useful because now you'll be able to tell that something is human-generated instead of AI-generated, and content creators and people with a large public presence will now be able to police their own likeness being used by randos.

Scary both because now whistleblowers or reporters could get their cover blown because the image has metadata linking them to it; or they could strip off this metadata and get the evidence dismissed entirely as fraudulent; and also because of the possibility that any regulatory government body that enforces C2PA will also determine what is real and what is not, meaning anyone on the inside will be able to generate AI content and pass it off as real to the vast majority of the population.

Can't help but think they shortened it to C2PA instead of CCPA because of the similarity in acronyms of the latter and the big bad no-privacy country.

What do you think? Non-issue, Slightly concerning, or apocalyptic?
