What’s the news? I don’t trust this guy if he thought it wasn’t known that AI is overdriven pattern matching.

same as why they keep source code public

What are the further steps needed to comply specified by Patreon or by you? (And your Ad Hominem is completely baseless. Check my post history if you will)

Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, who could have supplied the fourth vote needed to add the case to the court’s docket, issued a statement saying the question was significant and could soon warrant review but that he hoped additional opinions from lower courts could assist the justices on the issue. He wrote that the Supreme Court “should and presumably will address the AR-15 issue soon, in the next term or two.”

If there were a real issue, Patreon would send a real reply explaining what is needed to Catbox’s screenshotted inquiry instead of boilerplating “you can make a new Patreon in two months if you don’t violate the guidelines”.

Compliance with the law after you’re caught with this type of content isn’t enough

Tell that to Imgur. You’re asking Catbox to have a 100% detection rate which is impossible. How would you make these changes?

they refused

heh‽ where are you getting this from? can i have some? There isn’t even any indication the Patreon has ever been shut down before.

What do you mean by “continually” having this issue if Catbox already removes offenses much faster than most major content providers? And my impression is Patreon said such handling was sufficient in 2021.

Weird, I don’t get anything like that on the blog post. Here’s the link to donate:

Edit: Okay I managed to get it on Microsoft Edge. The no thanks button works for me, though, and you can still scroll the parts outside the popup box.

You still have to sign up (be a customer) for any plan to even use Cloudflare in the first place, and the free plan quota is 1GB per month.

Okay, I got the link: https://www.missingkids.org/content/dam/missingkids/pdfs/cybertiplinedata2024/2024-notifications-by-ncmec-resulting-content-removal.pdf

Whereas Catbox’s average removal time is 1.93 days, CloudFlare’s is 1.92. Alibaba’s is 4.39. Imgur’s is 4.6. Amazon’s is 5.23. Google’s is 5.52. Fastly’s is 5.63. GoDaddy’s is 8.77.

Have you evaluated the costs? I would think that one-time purchases + electricity bill are much cheaper than a subscription.

We also work closely with NCMEC to review and remove CSAM content within 48 hours of receiving the report. You can review our statistics with the NCMEC content removal report here: <link my tesseract OCR did not pick up> We have previously interacted with Patreon with regards to this content in March 2021, and brought ourselves in compliance with Patreon’s request.

You are initiated enough to consciously avoid junk apps.

They don’t have to re-implement the Google framework stuff.

Most of these apps don’t in China either. But you do need to reimplement an update-checker. And that’s enough to hog the RAM. And with the RAM already hogged, the window shattered, little optimization of the update-checker is done.

Sure, they’ll have to learn about them, but they have to learn about many things in life!

They won’t learn about it if it becomes the norm to have RAM hogged.

this is currently playing out in the EU

No, you have to go through complicated bureaucracy and fees to become an independent app store for iOS. Anyone who goes through this is probably competent enough to optimize their update-checker.

I’m not saying having other app stores on Android nor iOS lead/will lead to them being unavailable. I’m saying there needs to be an option with a single app store and set of services. Having multiple app stores on Apple and very easily installable would cause similar issues with RAM and usability for the less initiated, and everyone was uninitiated once.

I don’t get what you mean.

I agree with you, but my point from the start here (which I should’ve said more clearly) was that this doesn’t mean Apple must open up in response (and by default), which would leave us with no good centralized, minimalistic option either.

The reason I don’t use Android phones in China is because every company uses its own, separate version of what’s basically microG (notifications, location…) and update checking, and so my RAM is gone before I know it and everything’s super laggy. And on my grandma’s Android tablet these desktop-style notifications pop up overwhelmingly because of certain apps that bundle adware. This is what happens when sanctions took away a default option. Customization is no doubt something great for hobbyists and an option that should exist but there is a benefit to having a default monopoly (though, again, there should be an opt-out).

I mean that’s something that’d happen regardless of whether you may install other App Stores on an iPhone easily, no?

They pulled all iOS versions because their iOS update couldn’t be approved in time (they’re live service and need simultaneous updates on all platforms) and “Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union.”
