Eyes Up’s purpose is to “preserve evidence until it can be used in court.” But it has been swept up in Apple’s attack on ICE-spotting apps.

    I made a tool to help with this. It sends encrypted Signal alerts when ICE shows up in your area based on community reports. Honestly been struggling to get the word out because everyone thinks it’s spam, but it’s legit and people are using it. iceheadsup.com Please check it out or share with someone it could help.

      How much “feedback” do you think it will take to make them contradict the vindictive sitting President? Apple doesn’t care about what you think about this because it’s not for you.

      You know what you can do? Stop giving them money. Write them an email from your iCloud account, then delete said account. Cancel any subscriptions (this seemed to be effective against Disney).

      The fed gov holds too much power. You have to show them that Americans, collectively, have more power to affect their bottom line than the Pres, and (most importantly) are willing to exercise it.

        Apple fans are not that type of person, though. They’re better than everyone else, and so is their owning entity! They can do no wrong, this app was obviously guilty of doxxing cops …

          The only people worse than Apple fans, are Apple haters.

          Because I see a lot of vocal Apple haters on Lemmy, just shitting all over Apple users, but I rarely see Apple users here shitting on Android or anything else.

            lol you’re just plain wrong on that. Apple fans these days are like you: They make fun of everyone outside of their group instead of the products themselves, because you all understand you won’t ever be winning an objective argument.

              What argument…?

              Out of nowhere, you just started talking shit about Apple users to make yourself feel superior about your individual consumer choices, really cool bro.

              Also unclear who I was making fun of, unless you consider pointing out how absurd your Apple user hate is, to be making fun of you.

              But that’s not making fun of you, it’s pointing out how pathetic your unprompted and vocal hatred for Apple users was.

                Really proving how intelligent Apple fans are with that reading comprehension… The argument referenced there is obviously referencing the arguments you brought up elsewhere on the internet between Apple fans and other fans.

                It’s not out of nowhere. This is a topic about how people maybe should not give Apple money if they don’t want to support a corporation that will bow to fascists.

                How stupid and captured their dumbass fans are is DIRECTLY related to how easy it’d be to convince them to not keep throwing money at Apple.

                The fact you cannot even follow a basic conversation is the only pathetic thing here.

                  It’s not my reading comprehension that’s to blame for your rancid hatred of Apple users and I’m confident that your behavior is repulsive to more people than just me.

                  The irony is that I use Linux for desktop and Graphene for mobile so my objections are not rooted in defending my own consumer choices, they’re based entirely on your pathetic blind hatred of people who use Apple products.

    So if we ever take back this country, we’ve gotta destroy Palantir, Apple, Google, Meta, Disney, Microsoft, Amazon, CVS (working to compile a medical database on all USAmericans)… and every company that backed Trump’s Nazi campaign. Start making a list now. The corporations alone will be a life’s worth of work.

    People need to realize. There is no fair access to technology. You either bend the knee or have to create your own marketplace.

        I’m sorry to say it, but neither Linux nor the hardware you use it on fit under “create your own”.

          Well you can build Linux from scratch if you want to create your own. And RISC hardware is opensource, and gaining adoption.

          But at least with Fairphone they have built it so that you don’t need google android or derivatives, you can install Ubuntu Touch OS.

          With Ubuntu you have access to the worlds store of Linux apps, you don’t have to rely on apple or Google restrictions

            Well you can build Linux from scratch if you want to create your own.

            Building a project is not creating your own.

            And RISC hardware is opensource, and gaining adoption.

            RISC-V, and what’s gaining adoption is not what’s opensource.

            I don’t think you are getting my point. When you depend on one humongous project, open or not, you depend on what those having influence in it decide.

            That’s why they make autonomies, checks and balances, minority quotas, proportional systems and so on in democracies. Because deciding everything through a simple majority vote with no limitations and nuance, with winner taking all, doesn’t make things good.

            In this case it’s a weight of work vote, not majority vote, but the results are not too much different. Similar to how Bitcoin turned out.

            So-o - in Linux most of work is now being done by a set of the same big corporations. It’s not the magic freedom tool someone would want it to be, sorry.

    Very light on the details here. How did the app do this? What was the functionality of the actual app? From looking at the play store it seems to be basically a LE tracker as well, no matter how much they want to say it isn’t. Getting cute and saying “no my app where you can tag where ICE agents are and upload photos of the ice agents isn’t actually to track ICE agents, it’s just a photo sharing app” doesn’t actually work, no matter how much people on sites like this think it does.

    Also lol at this:

    Mark asked 404 Media to only use his first name to protect him from retaliation.

    He released an app on the apple store, they know who he is.
