I’ll be honest, I used this store three months ago, and the most polite compliment I can provide is that it “technically works”. It’s extremely barebones in its current state. IE the bare minimum for a functional app store is the install button, and that does function. But that’s pretty much all the thing it has, at least from a user point of view.

I mean, it’s a shame that its future is in question, but you know… Spilled milk and all.

I’m of the opinion that encryption based security should be compartmentalized. IE, an encrypted folder, or “safe” app. Safes in housing are already a concept that is already commonly known so it would be natural to extend a safe into the digital realm. This would also help in the idea that safes are locked with a key, so if the user loses their keys, whatever is inside the safe, might as well be lost.

Now if EVERYTHING is a safe, (always on encryption). People will never known the difference. Its a dangerous type of security that is likely to be more a loss than a benefit.

Sigh, it would be nice to have this petition before Affinity sold their soul to Canva. Oh well.

I like the idea of a general AI detection approach. Problem is that it’s very easy to get false positives depending on the writer’s personal style. Accusing garbage of being garbage does nothing, but falsely accusing an individual of using AI when none is used will just lead to harmful witch hunt behavior.

Also, putting your trust in a flawed tool like this, which might miss actual AI written speech (or human bullshit speech) will just give a false sense of security.

Be careful out there fine folks. The unscrupulous used to lie using just humans, now they also use robots to do it.
