Google is an advertising company first, everything else second. Of course they shouldn’t be trusted, it’s safe to assume they’ll log and analyze the smallest piece of data

When did I state any opinion on UI in this conversation? I just said not everything is apple and MS, and no shit most stuff has similarities people get used to features and there’s stuff that just can’t be done in more ways. Also I actually find KDE like a sweet spot between windows and android, with a few original and apple features. Just keep whining about how superior you think you are like an average apple fanboy

Woah there! That wasn’t a flex, I just said you don’t seem so familiar with current computer interfaces. But hey, if you wanna be offended you do you

Anyone using Mac windows and Linux over the years would see that most Linux DEs copy a lot from either MS or Apple, most outside of gnome primary mimicking windows.

So you literally just know gnome and kde plasma. That’s cute.

are you that dense with jokes?

This announcement would be a week after CryptOS imploded beautifully

Problem is the training data might include “Do you know what google is, noob?”

“No, because *proceeds to explain the definition of a service problem *”

My guy if they export only some mangas and animes, much slower, and with lower quality than pirates, then shoot the characters with the american ray; why should i pay them instead of having a superior and closer to original experience?

I’m already paying for HDDs and other hardware for my home media library, I’d rather pay for a service and save my time, but they won’t do it right.

The fuck are you high? Even microsoft, google, and meta support or have their own OSS projects. Apple just used someone else’s work as a base and doesn’t contribute to anything, what are you defending here?

Counterpoint: If said community is about a certain type of software, decisions over the type of platform matter more than popularity within teenagers. Coherence is important.

Even for unexpected/accidental deaths, this has an easy fix: Put my bitwarden master password on my will.

I would 100% use this HPL-v2 for all of my (temporary) foss projects. It’s just genius. I mean, good luck keeping track of the current owner, Nintendo lawyers.

Maybe it’s just me, but the only topic where i see people consistently complaining about paywalls is in publicly-financed research articles behind a paywall, which should definitely not be legal and fuck universities doing that shit. As for general news i haven’t seen so much complaints, but then again, maybe i just wooooshed through them.

Personally I don’t really care in this context because i can go to the source if I’m that invested and don’t want to pay, their job is to keep track and sometimes summarize what happens in the industry. Seems reasonable to either pay or invest my own time. Adblock is non negociable tho.

The XZ topic was way more complicated than that and overly exaggerated by some people. Open source is still the closest thing we have to “safe by default”.

Still, as someone else stated, if you’re not hosting it’s not truly open source as you can’t really verify the actual code running behind the server.

I haven’t tried it myself (tho I’m planning to do so soon), but check Onju voice, it tries to do something kinda similar.

I hope someone tries do pull that on an echo dot. Good hardware, shit software.

Edit: Update with related links.

The Onju Github i forgot before, tho it’s linked in pcbway. It has instructions to set it up along with home assistant and even a matrix bridge.

Onju voice satellite is a different project using the same custom pcb. This one looks better integrated with home assistant and has an actual wakeword system (unlike og onju, which doesn’t have one by design). This one feels more like “better private alexa for home assistant”.

Same energy

The mere presence of a cop, even without a visible weapon, will escalate any situation regarding mentally unstable people. Period.

If you don’t understand why a person going through a crisis would freak out when a figure of (ultimately violent) power appears right after they picked a weapon you have a serious problem with basic empathy.

For the record, I haven’t had any bad experiences with cops, in fact every interaction I’ve had so far has been either neutral or actually pretty nice. I’ve had my fair share of breakdowns as a teenager tho, and I can assure you that a cop would’ve never helped a single time. Even the nicest one.

Bonus step) Call the cops over the previous cop’s mental health

Wait are you implying that regulating fire arms in USA would help to deal with human traffic and drugs from mexico?

I mean it makes sense, but doesn’t certain people hate mexicans and like guns a bit too much? Are they using their brains at all?

Toggling on data collection without informing the user would mean billions of dollars worth of fines in Europe, so I doubt that happens regularly.

More like a few thousand euros symbolic fine and an angry letter saying “don’t be an ass again pls our infrastructure depends on you” after years of blatant abuses and anti-consumer practices, followed by an ambiguous law (with positive effects affecting only european users) they will definitely not manage to circumvent withing the next week and a half. Not this time 🤡.

The problem here is the fact that most people just do not give a fuck about this; that’s why there’s no coverage in the (mainstream) media, why the only people who cares end up just leaving windows and why this kind of options are usually opt-out and they can actually afford to silently re-enable them cuz who’s gonna check anyways? Random people ranting on meme communities about my fancy malware?
