The scripts are always really depressing though. The girl applying for a job is desperate for money, and the guy just exploits her situation. Mostly stuff like that. It’s never “I’m having a great day and the only thing that could make it better is some dick”

IMO the big problem with this is for old APKs that were created before this new developer registration requirement- you won’t be able to install them at all without rooting or using a different vanilla Android version.

It prohibits developers from creating apps and maintaining their anonymity but it also prevents scammers from anonymously stealing people’s money with fake apps.

Will be a big problem if their developer registration process is difficult or used as a restriction somehow to govern who can register.

This news story is such bullshit. First of all, 70% is double the actual %, or more than double. Second, I’d like to see some reputable sources claiming that the workers are slaves.

News story about Lao cracking down on cyber scam networks, says the % of GDP may be as high as 40%. https://www.rfa.org/english/opinions/2024/12/08/opinion-laos-scam-trafficking-david-hutt/

Edit: even if you use your own source’s actual data, the cyberscam $ is not included in the GDP so if you add them together and then calculate the % of cyberscam to the total it’s like 40% using your own data.

Smart people are reluctant to express confidence because they are better able to understand all the ways they may be wrong. Unintelligent or uninformed people are more likely to be confident. Listeners get much more satisfaction listening to confident people

Human beings have developed logic and morality. AI does not know the difference between killing a person and changing a 1 to a 0.
