Strong disagree on this stance. You want to use the software? Cool, pay for it. Need access to source? It's on github, go nuts. Want to change it? Sure, feel free, but whoever uses it should pay the original developer. You can even cha

That's just stupid. Take 10 people, each enters the data independently, compare their versions and select the most common of each character. With 1 second per character they would finish in an hour, coffee break included. They just did

I only have 3 points against LLMs: they lack reason and they can't count.

Yes. It would be three times as much if they used ChatGPT.

Good question. I would guess no - but it could help you build one. Am I mistaken?

Which ones, if you don't mind sharing?

Then I would say they judged the situation correctly when they decided to raise prices. That said: competition will soon kick in.

Nice! Nit: on mobile (ff if it matters) swiping down for some time makes the edges very grainy.

Except it isn't (anymore)? Timestamp + reader mode worked though. Edit: it is black if logged in, gray if logged out. Weird.

A friend gave out an email gmail@hisname.com (he owns the domain). He says it's incredible how many people "corrected" him, and how persistent some of them were. :-)

IPv6 vs. 4 is like Python 3 vs. 2, just worse.

AI can provide leads. Someone still needs to verify them and decide.

Let me guess - you like Apple?

It seems there are different "privacies". My privacy concern is about BigTech syphoning data from the users, not targeted CIA attacks. As for lazy/... app developers, as a user I do what I can to protect myself from their dec

Well that's a bit misleading answer. Some apps refuse to work if G services are disabled, so they clearly communicate with them. It would be nice to know what exactly G learned about the phone through those "sandboxed" apps.

I liked Dell one, loved ThinkPad, and hate MBP trackpad. I guess it's a matter of taste?

Debug it? Swap some components? Good luck with that on that shiny closed box.

To put my answer in context, I was replying to this: > There's absolutely no reason to use /e/ when GrapheneOS exists. There absolutely is. If I was choosing again today I would be tempted to switch back, for the reasons I

It is not, it is related to both major phone service providers in my country. Abroad, everything worked just fine. And just in 4G/5G, however 3G is getting phased out, so if I forced it, I was often unreachable. I was wondering if I co

As someone who switched from FP4 with /e/OS to GrapheneOS - absolutely not true. My reason for switching was a bug where the phone calls didn't display the caller number. So I switched to GOS in hope it would be better... and

No, it's not. They could easily have solved the problems without introducing changes to cripple ad blockers, but they decided their investors need some more cash. Actions speak.

Actually, a dedicated banking phone is a good idea for security reasons too. No sure how many people are willing to carry around 2 phones though. Too bad dual boot is not an option, or VMs.

Fighting for your rights is usually not the easy path, yes. It's been like that since forever.

What about Sailfish OS? I heard good things about it, but didn't dare switch... yet. Does anyone have some 1st hand experience?

Wtf? Once it was AI. Then the models started passing the Turing test and calling themselves AI, so we started using AGI to say "truly intelligent machines". Now, as per the definition you quoted, apparently even GPT-3 is AGI, so w
