You may look at a problem and think "Aha! The solution is to run my own email server." Now you have two problems, Google is marking all of your email as spam, an unknown number of threat actors using your server to spread malware because you forgot to patch something, and a small pile of subpoenas.

We went from making up reasons like "weapons of mass destruction" to you know what, fuck it we don't need to even lie, the president "had a feeling" that they pose a threat so we just bomb them so we can. A country doing this can't expect peace inside.

Good news for the media provenance ecosystem: as part of today's Pixel Drop, C2PA Content Credentials are now supported in the Pixel Camera app on the *Pixel 9* family of devices, in addition to the Pixel 10 πŸš€

This expands the footprint of devices producing verifiable camera captures substantially

Running a Snowflake Proxy via Orbot's "Kindness Mode" is one of the easiest, safest, and most impactful ways to help people circumvent censorship, especially if you're in a place with an open and free internet. https://orbot.app/kindness

Look, I spent half my life farming and using trucks as tools. I can say with certainty that this truck is not used for work, but to only haul a massive, toxic ego, nothing more. These should be taxed out of the driveways of regular commuters.

I would hope that making bollards children shaped in America would stop people from targeting them with their cars but I'm not entirely certain sadly

i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes

Yes current 1st gen implementations are bad on many fronts, with ways to exploit both at a low level and through confusion and poor UX implementations. This is not unlike the rollout of HTTPS and anything with crypto. It will get better with constructive critique and good implementations.

I have no issue with C2PA being used to also label AI generated or modified content, even if the motivation was due to legislative pressure. Rolling out global standards is not easy or simple, and often takes unlikely collaboration and allies to get it done.

You are interpreting the metaphor much too strictly. There was a long era when web content flowed across the Internet without any way to verify it was not modified in transit or by a third party at some point. This is what I mean when I liken it to C2PA. Don't get all 7 layer osi on me

It is not marketing, it is lived experience. I've been a part of global efforts to move from SMS to encrypted messaging, from telnet and http to SSH and HTTPS, and now from EXIF to C2PA. It is difficult to do, with many failures along the way, and no silver bullets

The issue isn't that Vivo is using C2PA, it is how it is being used. Like with HTTPS and TLS adoption, there can be bad implementations whether intentional or not.

28.02.2026 16:05 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

C2PA is for labelling all media types, whether generated or captured from a camera sensor. It is for both AI and human-made imagery.

100% agree most of the implementations are currently poorly done or in bad faith, and again, reminds me of the really terrible early implementations of TLS/HTTPS... I was equally disappointed in Galaxy S26 not doing more to support "real photos" with their built-in camera

@reckless.bsky.social your recent frustration at "C2PA"-washing is rightly placed, but it does remind me of the years of of hand wringing about internet security, and yet few implemented "HTTPS Everywhere" until they did (Thanks, EFF and Snowden!), and things got much better. C2PA=TLS for media.
