Presumably on Linux at least apps could just expose a DBus API? The machinery for this is already in place as far as I can tell.

The whole thing with GPL code seems like a mess and surely couldn't be set as actual precedent, right? It is totally infeasible for me to check every single GPL project on every code hosting platform to see if the code Claude etc produ

It sounds like the real solution to this is to be able to control permissions at an OS level for network per app, as you would be able to do if you had root access. I have no idea why regular Android distros don't allow you to do this,

The difference I see there is any line in a C codebase could have these issues, whereas in Rust they're specifically marked as unsafe sections, with the language having a clear list of invariants it expects the programmer to uphold in

What all these breaches tell me is that personal data should not be required, and especially not stored unless absolutely necessary. I cannot verify how my data is treated once it leaves my device, so how can I possibly trust it will be tre

If anyone's interested in this the book "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" is rather revealing of the sheer scale of this.

A company like Anker issuing a recall actually instils confidence in me, the alternative is no recall when flaws in a product are discovered.

I find that a lot less problematic as there's just very few shorts on my feed, I've never been able to scroll through more than 5 or so without just going into ones I've seen before.

Don't underestimate the importance of a user not having to flash an OS. It being preinstalled unlocks a new segment of the market.

Funny enough it's the OS and manufacturer I don't trust with my phone, with my PC I trust them a lot more as they're much more open and I can choose the OS.

What's always got me about this is when I was in school I had it absolutely drilled into me that I should never expose personal information online to anyone, I completely saw the logic in that and so heavily limit the personal data I g

And how do they prove to me they (and no 3rd party providers) aren't actually storing the data? I simply don't trust companies telling me they won't store something, so to me the only acceptable option is the data to never le

So is this why on my laptop when I start a game after an update it starts "compiling vulkan shaders" for a few minutes? I've never understood what that was actually for but it takes 100% CPU on all cores so it's clearly

Ratings aren't legally binding though are they? I bought games older rated than I was, and it's totally up to people's parents what they're allowed to play. Are you suggesting a 15 year old should be allowed to play the

Does that outweigh the loss of privacy involved? I really don't think it does personally, I should not have to show anyone ID to have an Instagram account, privacy and anonymity is a feature not a bug.

For private individuals I think it probably is, not for public companies or especially governments though as they're supposed to accountable to other people.

I don't know about all heat pump systems, but mine at least requires the water tank to have a resistive immersion too. If the tank temperature gets below some threshold the heat pump refuses to work and turns the immersion on instead u

I wonder if someone could make a foss frontend for Google Drive/Dropbox/<insert product here> that transparently encrypts files on your device before uploading them, that would certainly make me worry less about those servic

Interesting point, they'd have to either give a strict definition or a list otherwise I actually have no idea what to put. What about my ancient XDA Developers account that I don't even remember the username of? Would anyone with

I would worry about them not liking the (true in my case at least) answer of "I don't have social media".

Once you get it set up (which can be a pain) arch with KDE plasma is very good. KDE is very windows 10 like and intuitive. Arch gets rid of that issue of a mix of different installation methods, other than installing yay, I've never ha

I've never worn one out but I've had to replace two after they got filled with sand (once from being dropped on the beach and once just from my pocket I think). No amount of cleaning would fix them, luckily with cheap Chinese phon

So it's legal to train an "intelligence" on everything for free based on fair use, but it's not legal to train another intelligence (my brain) on it?

I quite like Matt Godbolt's podcast (Two's Compliment), more entertaining than educational though if that's what you're looking for.

I think a significant part of the pushback against the TV license is that it pays for the BBC, I believe many people are of the opinion that they'd be perfectly happy not having the BBC and not paying the licence fee. A significant por

I personally prefer not having other people decide for me which facts are and aren't relevant, I think that is unhelpful and potentially dangerous (some people think what happened in Tienanmen Square isn't relevant to the general

You say people did homework before YouTube, that is true; however for me I used YouTube to learn a huge amount outside of school, for example programming. I am vastly a better person for having access to YouTube pre-16 due to the amount of

That's something I hadn't thought about actually, if YouTube is being included, that was utterly invaluable for me for my school exams (before and after 16). I thought I wouldn't really have been missing anything with a ban o
