TikTok is not the problem. The problem is “I have nothing to hide” mindset. People don’t care about privacy because “ignorance is bliss”. Some people are just not aware about risks of giving up on privacy and other put continence over privacy. Until the general perception of privacy changes, apps like TikTok will thrive.
This is the hill I’m going to die on. I will continue to ingest text or die trying.
VSCode is open source and yet Microsoft still pushes telemetry crap into it.
Unfortunately I cannot find this article about patterns in prime numbers. I remember it was pretty technical but apart from the general idea I’m not able to provide anymore details.
There’s nothing wrong with proprietary software as long as it’s respects user’s privacy and doesn’t do crazy licensing stuff.
And the solution for world hunger is to distribute food from rich countries into the poor countries. Here, I’ve fixed the famine issue. Do you get my point? It’s easy to say what to do but when it comes to the details, all those preachers fail short in giving the real solution to the real problem. As I said before, this is just a rant about how bad modern world is.
I think we have read a different blog post. There was something about Google’s antitrust thingy and that all big tech should be regulated but no straight solution were given.
Again, I agree withe the thesis but honestly, anyone who’s focused on privacy would tell you the same but in way fewer words.
BTW, similar issue was raised in The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Pretty good read.
Let me save you the time and summarize the blog post - internet got worse, big tech is bad and the author is just ranting how bad it is nowadays. Nothing new, no idea how to fix it, just complaining about the modern world.
I’m not saying the author is wrong. It’s just I heard this many times before.
I vaguely remember reading about a way of writing down prime numbers that ended up in a pattern that could be translated into some kind of image. Math is awesome.
Technically they are correct. AI is nothing more than a ML, which is nothing more than complex statistics. Still, NVIDIA should be held accountable.
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare.
I wonder how many monkeys NVIDIA has? /s
In other words, NSA looks for a new way of plating backdoors.
Bitwarden or Proton Pass.
Too little, too late. For first month the app was unusable. It took forever to play the music and when it finally got played the missing features made the experience at best mediocre
I’m not going to stick with Sonos. I have already started lookingfosr a replacement. Audio Pro looks pretty good.
Holy archive! Thanks for the link.
Let’s play a game. I’ll start. It will end up in the google graveyard within a year. What’s your bet?
Oh, cry me a river. For decades corporations were abusing their position. I admit, in recent years it got out of control. But what’s stopping you from running your own server? You want your data to be private? Run it on your own rig. Scared of your ISP spying on you? Use VPN. I know it got worse than it used to be like 20 years ago but this is how life works. Things change, learn to adapt.
I use SMS and good old phone calls. You would be surprised how much people freak up when you call them. For work I use Slack, sometimes Teams. And on rare occasions, Messenger to talk to some family members.
edit Forgot about emails. I use it for more planned communications.
