I do notice and realize, and I've gotten to the point where I had to fork and patch most of them to fix the shitty AI generated code. It's so bad, and so everywhere , that I'm genuinely considering switching to a pre-AI stab

Then why is it that ALL content generated by LLMs, no matter who prompted it, is of such low quality?

Every time Grok gives the "wrong" answer, Elon Musk does another lobotomy on it. So it certainly seems like at least some models are being censored.

The OS provides restrictions and permissions so that the user can apply them to apps. If the user chooses to free certain apps from restrictions, that should be their choice. But if a piece of software overrides the users' choice, that

There's a lot of confusion around attestation, some of which is IMO done intentionally. First there is Android's attestation framework. That does actual hardware attestation, as used by GrapheneOS, and supported by literally no ap

Once upon a time(tm), Google had a great solution for that: You could get a credit card in nano SIM format, and insert into in your dual-SIM phone. That then allows you to do secure NFC credit card payments even on a rooted phone with custo

We should be fighting against SafetyNet and similar attestation systems. The proper solution is one we had with desktop computing for decades. If you keep the key material on your eID or bank card, you don't need a locked down operatin

That's an interesting question. Personally, I'd say the north of Germany has more in common with Danish and Dutch people than with Bavarians (who in turn have more in common with the Austrians than with us).

Germany treats permanent residency much more like a "citizenship lite", e.g., if you are a permanent resident[1] any newborn children will automatically be German citizens (even though Germany has no jus soli). ___________________

Even in your flawed analogy, I can stop at any time and adjust my wheels. Without losing the contents of my trunk.

So let me get this straight. An app developer getting access to send my files to a random server somewhere? That's just a simple permission prompt, no unlock needed. But me getting access to my own files? That's an absolute no-go.

Absolutely! Even if they require (like with bootloader unlock) adb and screen unlock for access. That'd still allow you to free your data. Ideally though the native filemanager should just have a sudo mode that can be entered to acce

If I hand my windows laptop to someone, they can also install a keylogger. But no one said we have to copy that flawed concept. macOS and Linux already have a good solution, requiring your full unlock password in a privileged dialog to auth

I just don't get why we need to argue about something — the right to general purpose computing — which has been answered decades ago? The user must be the administrator of their own device. Whether that's a laptop, desktop, PDA, m

"extremely reduced security" That's such a fun statement. Any security measures taken always remove agency from one person and give it to another. iOS takes my control away, and in turn gives that control to Apple. GrapheneOS

Recaptcha already requires a Google-certified Android device today. That does heavily restrict what websites a browser can access.

> Ubuntu/RedHat That still wouldn't affect projects like Debian or Arch, but going even further, they can't push through updates anyway. Nothing forces me to install updates, it's an active choice to do so.

So it doesn't actually do anything to give control of the device back to the user? One of the core tenets of truly free software is that I as user must be able to run, access, edit, and view everything .

Considering this is tracking, processing, and transmitting data, and algorithmically making decisions about users, why doesn't this show up in their privacy policy, nor in their GDPR exports? Sounds like a very expensive lawsuit waitin

Yes, there's a difference. But the question is whether that difference actually matters in practice. If you're a startup, you won't be making a profit anyway. Once you make a profit, 25k€ on the books (not necessarily cash) i

Even then you'd usually go with a Person -> Holding UG -> Startup UG structure. That's a few hours and less than a thousand Euros.
