So HTTP or IPFS? We just need a standardized update mechanism.

#12It's really breathtaking. They take an astonishing amount of your revenue. And they do not even try.

#13This showed up here six minutes after the issue was opened. Kudos for being proactive I guess.

What you're actually saying is: time for government intervention.
There's no planet on which Apple or Google will voluntarily give up the revenue stream produced by their respective app stores.
*If you're going to downvote me, at least provide some evidence that I'm off base. Google and Apple both refuse to allow other app stores and there's absolutely 0 recourse that doesn't involve the government stepping in. F-droid and the rest don't cover anything approaching "all devices".

#15I guess the Scunthorpe problem is still a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
My particular favorite is this one: "In October 2020 a profanity filter banned the word bone at a paleontology conference."

I'm just agog that people are still doing dumb pattern matching for profanity filters. I just assumed that YEARS AGO people realized how dumb it is, but apparently: No.
A great many places do this and automatically refuse content based on arbitrary “bad words” regardless the context.
I remember being denied to post a forum post containing the phrase “tardive dyskinesia”, as it appears that it rejected anything with the string “tard” in it.
I'm not sure as to whom they think to be helping with that, but it's entirely possible that their advertisement revenue will actually suffer, if the string “tard” be found on their pages.

This is Google. It's probably very smart pattern matching for profanity.
The neural network may have taken millions of core-hours to learn to be as dumb (here) as a blind keyword search.

Right so when you have some childporn showing up, illegal material what are you going to do?

#20Soon as I saw this headline I was like "I bet this is about ASS subtitles". Sad, really. Would have figured the Scunthorpe problem was well enough known that it wouldn't exist in a project of this scale.
