It is yes. There’s no central server that logs are collected to or anything like that.

That’s NOT the same as ad blocking.

Borswers will still be browsers just like any other OS and precautions should be made there.

Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).

Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.

A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It’s powerfully but that’s a double edge sword. It’s easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.

Because it’s completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that’s true of windows and macos.

It’s vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.

It’s popular with nerds because it’s free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it’s all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.

Can you at least see how both statements are whataboutism?

Yes that should be more talked about. So that makes this article invalid?

Except this whole article doesn’t apply to android. Android AFAIK has 0 announced plans to do this. So why is it a concern?

When it comes to iPhones, it’s not a shouldn’t, it’s a can’t.

The way iOS limits background process means you can’t. I develop for iOS apps for a living.

There’s still you should never under any circumstances allow unsupported devices to be exposed to the internet or any way. Because that’s how we get bot nets causing DDOS attacks.

An iPhone is not going to be that. This isn’t phones in general doing this, just iPhones.

There are also far more efficient devices for that. More cost effective and more energy efficient.

I understand wanting to reuse old devices for something, but there’s a limit to what is power efficient as well.

See it’s not about posting slop for slop sake. It’s so when the account become some kind of shill it has “legitimate” history to say they’re not a shill.

Encrypted is also the word to make people feel safer.

Correct but you also dont want an encrypted password. You want a hashed password.

What exactly do you think schools are?

Spoken by someone who has never felt with a learning dissability

I guess I expect the national energy commission to still regulate the plant to ensure safety standards are the same between public and private.

Except they can’t? Because the world itself doesn’t repeat like that.

Also we’re not talking a doubling of the area. We are talking 1:1 of the entire earth. Starting from satellite images.

I see the common mistake of associating the left with authoritarianism.

China and such are not left. They’re even further right to the point of fascism labeled communism.

Remebere communism/socialism is about the workers relation to the means of production. Chinese people do not own the factories they work on, so I’m not sure you can call them left.

Chrome was started by google

While it used to be closed source the maintainer a couple years back decided to not make it a job, and open sourced, took down the hosted option, and nowaintains it as a side project open sourced.

That’s not how subgroups work…

Because that’s not how LLMs work.

When you form a sentence you start with an intent.

LLMs start with the meaning you gave it, and tries to express something similar to you.

Notice how intent, and meaning aren’t the same. Fact checking has nothing to do with what a word means. So how can it understand what is true?

All it did was take the meaning of looking for a number and strawberries and ran it’s best guess from that.

Literally anything that requires knowing facts to inform writing. This is something LLMs are incapable of doing right now.

Just look up how many R’s are in strawberry and see how chat gpt gets it wrong.
