Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's attack on ICE-spotting apps.

Why can’t this be a web app that uses web notifications? Why does it even need to be an on-device app? That’s building in a vulnerability that doesn’t need to be there.

Make it a site. Go to the site. Pin the site. Allow notifications from site. Done.

Yes, Apple and Google are in the wrong, but why are we relying on them for this at all? Not everything needs to be a fucking app.

What's even stopping them from just uploading to archive.org?

this is why we need to install apps without their approval or verification.

security my ass, they want to stop us from controlling computers.

We really need a Linux phone.. It's like the future of democracy depends on it..

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Future of democracy in the US relies on the people being vaguely intelligent as a group. Right now tens of millions of people there are straight-up worshipping an obvious fascist as god-king and a sizeable portion of the other chunk is still desperately clinging to the idea of being “moderate”.

A linux phone would be nice but it’s not going to save the world if the people are still dumb and cowardly.

Yeah, it's fucked.

The free western world really need to fast track the divide from US controlled tech.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

It’s too late. Even without the influence of tech assholes, the western world has gone full fascist and it’s just not coming back to anything safe without a fuckton of Luigi’s.

"Which side did you choose when authoritarianism came to your doorstep?"

Looks like Tim Apple has chosen.

Beholden to the AAPL ticker.

Because corporations suck up to fashists if they are in power. That's all.

Corpos are not your friends. In fact they are usually the enemy.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 hours ago

they are ~~usually~~ always the enemy

Better though than Framework who donate to bad open source developers. Hail big corporate! /s

(This isn't directed at you, I'm more frustrated by the people in the Framework controvery threads who somehow thing buying Apple or Dell is a more ethical choice).
