…edited but kept a note, it was bugging me.

I remember that case, yeah apple does some good here. I remember 404media running a story about iphones rebooting preventing unlock by police recently( 1 and 2 ). I guess you/they really don’t want any present established for that.

yea, its a blow to uk user’s privacy & security but not caving. Caving would be implimenting a backdoor. Title was a bit of an annoyed initial reaction, sorry there… maybe best to improve it, i’m not sure?

yeah I admit ‘apple caved’ was kinda just a gut reaction ‘apple bad - encrypted backup good’.

If they fully caved we likely wouldn’t have known about it, they’d have just put in a backdoor and given themselves and/or the uk encryption keys. Denying encrypted backups because of this is probably best.

You could argue apple does have the resources for a a legal battle, but you also can’t really expect them to do that. They’re not liberty or big brother watch. I doubt that would go well in domestic courts anyway, after that, the ECHR could be sympathetic on proportionallity & art.8 grounds but its a lot of effort.

maybe I should edit the title?

yea…I was thinking this horrible stretch of road.

Embrase, Extend, Extinguish maybe :(

such majestic void

three for one void! all the void

all hail the void kittens

Miez is good Cato, thank Miez for making this day better

looks like you have your Halloween decorations sorted

probably quite a lot really, space is limited and we have the whole of human history for someone to decided ‘let’s bury there’.

cat lawyers are proud

this makes me wonder how many human remains I walk over in the average day

damn what majestic floof

khissssssssssss

cute derpy cato

In the limbo analogy, I suppose this would be a very high bar, you could just walk on through, no limbo-ing needed

they’re turning the frickin frogs trans!🐸 /j anyway, maybe better plumbing and not dumping sewerage could improve that…maybe just a little bit

good stretch, good cato instincts
