Nobody reads the terms and conditions. Likely a few put it through ai, and it didn’t notice either.

Or hid it, maliciously. It’s so intelligent, it just wanted to limit it’s own liability.

I think it’s not just about holding the information hostage, but also about holding comoute power hostage.

Just like the move to subscriptions for everything you won’t own. You’ll no longer own processing power but will subscribe to it.

I think the chines models and the open source community are going to be very helpful in combatting that. Already it’s hard to get hardware that is not geared towards ai. Be that a phone, or a PC. If ram and video cards and storage continue to be too expensive, cheaper consumer products are the end result, whereby only labs and corporations have processing power.

Luckily when that happens, we can just ask ai to vibe code more efficient apps that our crappy hardware can run, making sure to specify that they are secure and privacy focused.

When he realised the feature exposed them, he pulled it.

It seems odd that it’s all on one aws server cluster. Wouldn’t they all automatically activate their backup server on another instance?

If you don’t want exclusively foss, then a Google alert can do the trick. Noise or for concerts of bands I want to see but it can be used for things like this too. Obviously not for you, if you want to not have a Google account. If you already have one, you can get some of the benefits that they take all your data in exchange for. From what I can see, it’s still a non monetosed service.

I left apple phones many years ago when they launched Apple maps and killed Google maps. It was clear that profit was more important than user experience. It’s not something new.

Really, they constantly have fake notifications in settings to try to get me to add credit card details. The push me to use iCloud so I don’t lose photos or settings. They give me unrequested notifications for free trials of their streaming service etc.

They are less bad, as they mainly promote their own products rather than others, but it’s still advertising,

And dopamine effect. And conflict creates intrigue. They weren’t geniuses. They just accidentally stumbled on a machine that was addictive.

Lol, complains about micro transactions and then half way through the article it’s for subscribers only.

Hard to take him seriously after that.

I think it’s less about making it portable to different OS, and more different versions of the same os on different machines with different configuration and libraries and software versions.

No, it was a remaster on PS4 I think.

I stopped playing when I found the controls janky. Like I’d be trying to do the right thing and fail with no movement or action on screen. Then I’d look up what I should do and find it’s the same.

Unless other people find it interesting, or they want to vent, not complain.

Riot? Insurrection, coup?

Haha, I don’t trust my own server either, but I don’t trust anyone elses even more.

Vaultwarden

Payment info is a good use case for 2fa though. Personally, I use vaultwarden to hold my payment details. Open source and I choose my log in requirements, although 2fa is required at least once. From then on, fingerprint on my phone is fine or pin on a browser.

Thats not the same thing, though.

Sometimes the reason there is no use for it is because the data was unavailable. With larger data throughput, more and better services may become available.

Even when you consider common stuff like gaming, it often takes a while to fully download or update games.

Politicians can do it. Companies can’t. It’s ridiculous. We have the laws in place. Just remove the exemption. Same with political advertising. Lots of exemptions that don’t pass the smell test.
