Exactly. This is a free market economy. Buyers and sellers come together of their own free will, unencumbered by interfering third parties and exchange money for goods and services. There are a lot of comments in this thread proposing some

If you're using a car to commit a crime we blame the driver not the car. When there's a gun shooting we don't blame the gun we blame the user. People commit crimes. They might use a computer, a baseball bat or a hammer. We do

The Zon is a data-driven company. Train on its user's data? Of course it would. It can do no less. It's in the corporate DNA, just like Embrace-Extend-Extinguish is in Microsoft's DNA.

99.99% of people have zero artistic skill. Those same people feel that they can detect AI-generated works? Those same people have the audacity to spread their uninformed opinions online? Those same people are spreading their harmful opinion

"The only thing I object to is the facebook association." !!!Exactly!!! If Apple comes up with smart glasses then user privacy will be job one. For meta it's all about collecting data to sell ads. Period.

This is a transparent ploy to collect personal information to feed the beast. Google wants to invade user privacy by requiring a phone number and dares to say it's for security reasons! What doublespeak is this? People need to deGoogle

Don't get the idea that his little app is ready for prime time. Try changing the font and you'll see why. This little app simply leverages an existing API offered by Windows. Apple has a similar API for macOS. But I appreciate Dav

Agreed. The developer has the right to share his labors any way they want. I fully respect that. I also don't object to paying for something I find useful or valuable. But I really hate subscription-ware. But I'm a local-first pri

We put a beautiful wallpaper on the Desktop. Ahhhh. Along comes a Luddite and puts icons on it, totally ruining its beauty. For fsck's sake! Just No. Thankfully, along comes GNOME and it just says No. I agree.
