See you on the second thread.

I did no such thing. Word "Armenia" means a specific thing. "Armenians" mean another thing. So you're correct to say

Azerbaijan attacked Armenian citizens

But if a town populated by only Armenians living in, say, France was attacked by, say, German forces, you wouldn't say that Germany attacked Armenia. Germany attacked France, because it's about the country.
Speaking of ships, according to the maritime law, vessels flying a country's flag are considered an extension of that country's territory. So legally, yes, attacking a US carrier would be the same as attacking the USA.

Until now, I was being neutral regarding who's at fault, but you keep insisting that Armenians are the only victims here, and the land is allegedly historically theirs. Ok, let's assume that's true. I even agree that Armenians definitely lived there historically. But if what Armenians did in 1993 (capturing seven Azerbaijani-majority districts outside the enclave itself) is justified and OK, then what Russia is doing now in Ukraine is also justified and OK. There are plenty of ethnic Russians in Ukraine, especially in the occupied territories.
Now imagine the conflict in Ukraine is frozen for 20 years. And 20 years later, Ukraine takes back their internationally recognized territories. Will you also be claiming that Russians have historically lived there and hence it's not OK for Ukraine to recapture them?
You can't decide these things based on "historical territories", the international law exists for a reason, else everybody would be at each other's throats. How far back should we go? Do we arbitrarily pick a cutoff date? Draw a line in the sand? Should Italy start claiming the entirety of Europe because Rome once occupied it for half a millennium?

If it's the encrypted transfer protocols that you're talking about, then it's just for the transfer of data. It was never meant to make things secure on the endpoints. Encrypting your whatsapps, signals and so on just ensures the ISPs and mobile operators can't read your messages. Also prevents an occasional MITM attack. Once the data reaches your device it's not encrypted anymore, as you can read it and copy it.

I don't fuck on my first Lemmy thread.

Sure. But it's Azerbaijan according to international law. So it's simply false to say "Azerbaijan attacked Armenia", because Armenia refers to certain internationally agreed upon territory, which doesn't cover the area Azerbaijanis attacked, regardless of your opinions on whether it was justified or not.

Mostly true, but minor correction, Azerbaijan didn't attack Armenia, they attacked the Armenians in their occupied territories.

Not really, it can make sense. By "reading" your messages/notifications they could just perform semantic search/categorization, or now, run a local LLM. It doesn't necessarily mean they send that data to servers or make people actually read it.
Encryption just means the data stored on your device is not saved in plaintext. So if somebody gets their hands on your phone, they won't be able to hot-wire the memory chip and directly read all the data.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't on-device before. At least not all the time. But I have some good news for you, they added the ability to type your requests to Siri 😆
And to be fair, some certain things are definitely faster by voice than doing manually, like setting a timer and stuff. It's just daunting when the assistant misunderstands you or takes ages to respond. If they fixed all that, it could actually be useful.

Based on their claims Siri also works primarily on-device. It wasn't entirely clear if you can manually prevent the usage of their AI infrastructure, but they definitely implied it. So if that's true, there's no real reason to avoid just Siri while still using other AI stuff, cause they are one and the same. And since it runs locally, they can't even store the voice clips.

Oof size: Great Scott.

Firstly, there was nothing pro-Russia in this. And secondly, USSR ≠ Russia. While Russia claims most of the accomplishments of USSR, there were numerous nations and countries that worked together. Not always voluntarily, but still.

It's weird to assume that OS doesn't "read" the notification content, because how else would it categorize them by priority, and provide smart replies and stuff.
