I built something similar at https://ictsos.org , which is a human trafficking nonprofit. But in testing, I found that history deletion was not possible everywhere. I opted to open a new tab with a harmless google search, so that

That's helpful insight. My prediction is that as it keeps getting more expensive for the big players to run these models, we will start to see some kind of hybrid workload where they offload some of the work to your computer for smalle

I don't yet know how to give it money to spend. I could give it a small crypto wallet, but few places accept that as currency. I was thinking of using one of those virtual credit card services that lets me set limits and block certain

I’m bothered by the UK thing because beyond just the marketing, we had Tim declare that “Privacy is a human right.” Marketing is BS, and I expect companies to screw customers and ideals (“Do no evil”) whenever it’s convenient. But I really

This product looks awesome and the mobile app looks exceptional. But if it’s not self-hosted and in some kind of standard format,you’re SOL when the company shuts down. Even though you can export your data, where are you supposed import i

I still generate random passwords for the questions. I don’t like that someone who knows me well could use them to gain access to an account. … but yes we definitely need extra fields for storing that and lots of other related data. I’m a 1
