it feels like a weird departure from previous eu policies protecting privacy and right to repair… i was really happy when the forced apple to have an alternative store, and forcing phone companies to have a universal charger…
as an american, i was jealous of a lot of these….
forcing a company to lock a phone down more doesn’t make sense with that….
…
i guess you can still buy a phone with an unlocked boot loader from america and switch over the sim….
or buy one of them pure linux phones like pinePhone…. but that probably still sucks for non-coders….
….
also, incidentally, iPhone and the Pixel have both proven to be difficult for the police to extract information from, probably largely due to full integration of software and hardware…
i wonder if they finally worked out a good back door deal with apple….
of course, but what’s their rationalization?
what’s the point of them banning this anyways?
we thought that’s what an emergency contact is?
nope….
however, “in case of emergency, i have a pet at home alone”: is pretty important….
e.g. i’m adding my pet to my list of emergency contacts on my phone now… they’ll figure it out.
the whole “believe victims” thing is a trap… presenting a false dilemma to disbelieve or believe them….
but in a reasonable world, a victim’s testimony is evidence but not proof… evidence is enough to investigate and look for proof, and enough witnesses becomes as good as proof.
when you have someone as powerful as a president, there will always be a lot of liars… it’s just the law of large numbers, so the burden of proof becomes higher.
also, all reasonable people know that trump is a rapist and a pedophile by now, we just need proof to force people to admit it.
actually a really good idea if you live alone with pets…
like, if i get hit by a truck i don’t want my dog to starve to death….
it was definitely murder:
a. showers don’t have cameras, so people commit violence there
b. very limited time in the showers with guards usually watching or at least nearby….
