Thanks for sharing, I don't think this is much more. Corporate Dems are an issue and I wish I was in the timeline where Bernie became president. Saying Republicans are better (in 2025) is either extremely naive or insane. Either way, it does not give me the faith I would like to stay with Proton long term. Posting official stuff, pulling it back, now claiming neutrality... confidence is eroded enough.
I have the Duo plan until mid next year and see it as my inbetween from iCloud to self hosting most of my services. Currently trialing Mullvad for the VPN and it can keep up with Proton easily.
Happy to help with German. I used to get the LoseIt premium for free but haven't used it in many years. I just assume it's a privacy nightmare so haven't bothered opening it.
But I like the concept, just tracking helped me improve my diet and health.
And afaik that was it. It has been blown out of proportion many times since by people forming opinions based on headlines.
If there was anythung else I'd like to know too though
I started doing this again. I leave my phone at home and just go out with a bit of cash in my pocket.
I bought an mp3 player so I can bring along some music.
Oh I've been on a similar journey, after a year long break I'm back in the education space and things have only gotten worse.
I voiced concern about professors using LLMs to create presentations. The sloppy images with nonsense text are one thing, but it's hallucinating on actual content. Since I'm learning, I can't be certain if something on this topic is true or an hallucination. My criticism was understood as me just not being tech savvy enough for AI.
I'll probably drop the course and get my money back, I could get a chatgpt subscription for a lot less..
I've beefed up my legal insurance because I believe the only way to hammer some sense into people and businesses is to sue when their agentic ai makes mistakes. Currently nobody seems accountable for the output and that has to change.
I have run into this issue of needing Microslop for school. I'm allowed to use my own hardware if I install their spyware. So I have two setups:
Portable: Win10 on an old lenovo laptop that just runs their tracking software. I can access the sharepoint, outlook and teams with LibreWolf on that machine, if I must.
When at home I have a virtual machine that also runs Win10 for their spyware. I use LibreWolf on fedora for the sharepoint, outlook and teams.
Sadly the LLMs are already roaming the streets and executing people with 50:50 chances for accuracy. From what I have seen in corporate and education in the last 12 months there is no good faith.
Bro, nur noch ein Sondervermögen bitte. Für die Infrastruktur, bro. Bitte.
