I don’t remember if this came from cybersecurity logging practices or from anti-deepfake advice I saw online, but maybe physical cameras can constantly upload video evidence to a reliable third-party server which will save the checksums of, suppose, every minute’s worth of data. Then there would be no way for the source of the video to retroactively replace the content on that server with deepfake videography without this leaving evidence in the checksums.

I’m not sure if/how the third-party server would be able to tell that it’s listening to a real bodycam/dashcam rather than simply receiving data from a deepfake-generating AI model. I guess to use a video for evidence, you’d have to have corroborating evidence from nearby people who recorded the same event from a different angle (AI-generated videos would have trouble with creating different angles of the same event, right?).

And even if you can’t use a video as evidence, witness testimony has always been used in court. Someone else on Lemmy wrote that people have been making arguments in court since before there was photo/video evidence; our justice system (whoever “our” refers to) will simply revert to pre-camera ways when a photo/video cannot be trusted.

True! Thanks for the response.

What are these low wattage circuits you deal with? IoT draw more than I’d safe to touch, I imagine.

Happens when you eat about ten oranges every winter day and five peaches every summer day as a child.

(Also, nice use of the interrobang! Been a while since I’ve seen it.)

Isn’t it unsafe to touch a circuit?

(Or is that the joke?)

Is it weird that I can already do this with peaches, nectarines, and clementine oranges?

How about any insect that smells you? I don’t want curious insects all over me even if only for a second.

Are microplastics similarly diverse in their effects on the human body?

Anyone have an example of an Android app that feels like this?

Personally I don’t see the appeal of adhering to an existing design system just to make it feel “native”. I’m using Voyager on Android and it’s not native-feeling at all since Voyager is very Apple-inspired, but that doesn’t feel weird/bad. Discord is another app I use every day (though not for Lemmy) and it’s certainly not designed to feel native on either Apple or Android.

I find that for calling someone the mic quality is unusably poor on Bluetooth, especially when you’re washing dishes or doing something else with background noise. I use my wired earbuds connected to my phone in my back pocket so I can still walk around. The built-in mic in the earbuds that came with my phone a few years ago is pretty great.

The only time the wireless ones are more useful than wired is when you’re changing your shirt or flipping your head upside down to do your hair or something.

I’ve never been asked for an email address. That sucks.

Yes, it mandates a Do Not Sell My Personal Information toggle, as I understand it.

That’s a good point. I guess it’s a leftover from Reddit. I do comment more often now.

Still, I’m more okay with missing out on bottom-of-feed Hot posts than bottom-of-feed New posts.

Yeah, this should be illegal. I predict California and/or the EU will get rid of it soonish (within the next 10 years maybe? not the most experienced forecaster).

Personally I use Hot rather than New because of the sheer volume of posts that exist. It’s kind of a disincentive to keep scrolling if the content gets generally less interesting and less commented on as you scroll.

After listening to you, I now use wefwef (on Chrome) almost exclusively because of the compact home view. There are no issues with slow initial loading time or glitching out upon switching apps. Thanks!!

It does feel clean. I don’t mind it either now, it just was weird at first because it felt like I was on a friend’s phone.

Update: I won’t be staying on Wefwef because it keeps causing Firefox Nightly to crash and not saving my spot when I switch apps, and I’m not willing to get the Firefox stable release again because the way it reloads pages every time you switch apps drives me mad.

Also, it seems to cache images so that you can open them immediately upon tapping, rather than having to wait for the image to load after your explicit tap for it to do so. I really liked this at first, but it comes at the cost of taking around eight full seconds to load everything, as compared to one or two seconds with Liftoff and Connect.

I do wish Liftoff and Connect had the compact view with image/link previews that Jerboa and Wefwef have, though.

After having used it for a few hours, I like Wefwef’s Apple design, or at least I like it better than Material You. Material makes me so uncomfortable with its wide spacing and white rounded content tiles. I could get used to this dark mode Apple design style, though it feels strange at first.

Just installed it. It looks like Apple’s UI, which gives it a kind of uncanny valley on my Android phone. Will use alongside Liftoff until I like one better, thanks for mentioning it!

Interesting; I fled Jerboa because its scrolling wasn’t smooth. I’m using primarily Liftoff now because it looks and feels so good and works for everything I need. Its search function also allows filtering for posts, users, and communities, a feature which Connect does not have.
