It's all coming together: Even if an open protocol was developed and published, and everyone would just use AI to create their own app in order to be private, Google is shutting do…

Maybe not in absolute terms. But if there is no access to the actual SOTA models, it's as if they don't exist.

It goes to show that privacy is not a priority. And it should be.

They literally bombed a school full of girls. It's irrelevant whether AI "makes any mistakes" or not, there are no morals either way, and people just seem to be desensitised to all…

That's good for you! Isn't that a selfish view, though? "Works for me,so I don't care that systemd is creating dependencies everywhere for everyone else". I appreciate that it simp…

I see a "top-down" approach, actually. Government and public services change to (ideally) open source, and "impose"/"require" downstream compatibility. This would create the incent…

I'm using Pipepipe. I believe it's a fork from NewPipe, and has more features, namely skipping sponsor block, and intros

So now you are still the product, even if you're paying.

Again, that's an internal affair. It would be up to the Native Americans to decide. It's their country after all

It's very black and white. It's an internal affair, and no one elected the USA to be the police of the world. We could also argue that even internally in the US, the current presid…

I agree with your 2nd statement, but people should bring up things that should be discussed. Otherwise, at some point, one of the 10000 [0] won't know there are alternatives and di…

It makes a lot of sense. Whoever wants to continue developing "these apps" will do it privately, and sell the service to those who want to keep doing things in hiding. Well done, w…

You're actually making the exact point you want to attack. That's why Europe needs that push to get their act together and start being self-sufficient, digital services-wise.

Until the next update, when they conveniently have a "bug" that enables it by default

I understand your point, but my argument is in the more generic aspect. Consider how whoever complains about blacklist/whitelist would eventually complain about about allow/deny an…

Would those people care about the word "hit"?

Is a zebra people with people stripes, or people with people stripes? :)

The more we avoid terms, the more negative their connotations become, and the more we forget about history. I would argue, without any evidence, that when terms are used and embrac…

They make it really difficult to fight any of this. You have to, individually - find a representative, their contact info, state your case, hope it's the correct person, hope your …

There are many comments from people wanting to pay for Firefox, but not to Mozilla. As an independent alternative, the Ladybird browser ( https://ladybird.org/ ) is being developed…
