Ain’t nothing better to ruin something then mandatory requirements.

Like 70% of the points on that site are… Disingenuous at best. It’s not wrong over all at all. But I do wish people would stop throwing in a bunch of bullshit along with the good points.

I hate ai on many moral standards and see it as highly problematic, but also see it as a fun toy.

It makes it hard to have any honest conversations about the problems around ai when everyone is basically a religious zealot spouting as much bullshit as the ai tech bros are.

Is ai a problem? Yes. There’s no honest way to disagree with that. But the real conversation is far more nuanced than that.

Yeah the long term upkeep tends to be the biggest problem.

But then again, normal projects have that too. Seen plenty of small projects get worked on like crazy for a few months and the author burns themselves out.

Ai like with most things just speed up the process. Lol

Thinking isn’t the strong suit of most people …

I’ve never understood how a oath somehow creates a form of credibility with out some other proof to back it up

It’s still just words. I know lying under oath is a crime and all that. But when most shit just gets settled and rarely actually has teeth towards the rich or famous.

It feels like an oath is just a pretend make believe thing that only the deranged actually think is real.

Ai is pretty good at sucking proverbial and metaphorical dick.

Also generating subtitles for my mother’s foreign films I guess?

It’s painfully just ok at most tasks. It’s a someone useful tool at a local level with small models doing extremely narrow tasks.

But anyone who thinks these giant models are remotely beyond just a glorified over priced hobby toy is… Questionably sane.

They are fun to play with in the same sorta way playing with explosives is.

I feel like if sam just fucked off. Ai would be smarter, more useful, and less problematic basically over night.

That’s what you think everyone is always talking about lizard men when secretly it’s actually dolphin people spreading propaganda to throw off the trail of those of us who know that it’s really the dolphin people.

Can?! Oh boy they do more then can! Dolphins are terrible people.

Flexibility and diversification is annoying to manage but tends to be the best situation over all.

Proton does things right generally speaking, it’s just ran by an absolute idiot.

So you also have to weigh are your morals and expectations here reasonable to your own acceptance level. Vs your own requirements of the service at hand.

There are plenty of reasons to need a VPN that the extra security and privacy guarantee are beyond worthless. And in those cases staying in proton doesn’t make since if your morals go against the company.

While if you absolutely need that privacy and guarantee switching is a very real risk.

Plenty of people like having privacy but for some it’s actively a life or death situation. So you have to make that call. Where do you sit on that spectrum, and are your morals important enough to take the risk if your on the extreme end?

For most people who aren’t, switching is just a formality and technical consideration.

Your not entirely wrong. It’s mostly the fact, that even with e2e your still relying on their word that they aren’t doing something shady or do something stupid. There’s no external force keeping them honest.

One is none two is one. Someone’s word is good but someone’s word, and another keeping them honest is better.

If your going to trust someone else it’s better some form of equality in the deal. As a consumer to a corp that’s basically impossible with out a legal enforcement layer.

Calling anything chromium base a fork feels disingenuous. It’s a little more than a skin and a built-in add-ons suite.

Always have. Did you know blatantly lying to idiots will get those idiots to repeat those lies? It’s true!

Everyone knows total annihilation is the best RTS ever!

I have come to the general understanding that unless you have a million dollars on the line and a million more dollars to give to one person to manage it.

Just use app armor

Over the last year I have done this entire. Went from app armor to SEL and now I’m back on app armor.

You couldn’t pay me enough to try SEL again.

It assumes the user is an idiot. And it assumes the user should not own their own device.

That is the core tenant of how it works.

Aka deny all base line.

No, this is the frediverse if the word ai comes up there is no nuance. Only hate.

This is exactly the sort of thing why im baffled that people are leaving for companies in countries with either little or literally no data privacy laws.

Sure andy is a dipshit. But at least he doesn’t get a god damn say over how some things are done. Because the law sits out side his control.

Its an explicitly worse alternative what are you on about. Its in a eyes country. Its literally an explicit step down on every level.

The moment tuta goes to shit there is nothing stepping them from going all the way. At least with proton the legal requirements of the country they are in means that no matter what stupid shit the dickhead at the top does. They are REQUIRED to adhere to a minimum standard.

Tuta has NO legal requirement to do that.

If you remotely care about privacy and enforcement of the standard of care around it. Tuta is like one of the stupidest places you can go.
