Copilot was trained on FOSS software, so maybe it’s already too late.

I have never seen a cucked nation like the UK in the world before. u guys have no resistance what so ever ! the french should have bought you some freedoms a few centuries ago.

Those who buy apple products deserve each other.

pdfdrive Thanks for the suggestion, is it any better than z-library or do they host the same content ?

I always thought about why don’t FOSS projects that are at risk of getting sued by big corp like (NewPipe, Popcorn Time, streamio, tachiyomi …) embrace the dark web or git over torrent via VPN, so their projects don’t get threatened with take downs. z-library ended having to move to the dark web after all.

I am not criticizing the free work of the open source community. it is just a recognition that commercial software is way ahead of anything the FOSS community has produced so far. And this is true for almost all software categories

If you are doing professional work. than Gimp doesn’t come close to Photoshop, when they will introduce non-destructive editing Gimp will definitely become better. but PS keeps widening the gap with very powerful tools like AI fill an stuff.

• Gimp needs to seriously reconsider their UX/UI design it is an absolute nightmare. it feels like trying to steer a spaceship from Startreck.

Hopefully, Matrix [Element & al ] and Revolt will catch up to discord

As long as they keep getting money out of it. and with record numbers year over year. they have no incentive to change course. Google has a monopoly over search engine that affords them the unique position of not giving a dime about user satisfaction. the users are trapped anyway!

I don’t believe Apple made this product to sell. it might be just marketing ploy to keep people talking about Apple and how they are always ahead of the curve. they have a brand reputation to maintain.

Does it affect Invidious front-end as well?? I have been noticing that for a while now, but I thought maybe it is because the page doesn’t use native yt js code to track video download. the same videos would load battery smooth when accessed through YT.

They have had desktop bridge app for years but it is only accessible to paying users.

Unlike proton mail , microsoft offers basic IMAP POP functionality of its desktop app for free, Maybe proton should offer the same “essential” email functionality for free before criticizing Microsoft. there are many ways to monetize a service without rendering the free version legless.

If you have enough money, you can do whatever you want!

I bet they will keep adding loopholes to keep websites bullying their visitors.

why bother making legal frameworks when you can’t enforce them, there are hundreds of thousands of website including very prominent ones that hide the “reject all cookies” button after a second screen prompt. or flat out force you to opt-out of every second cookie category , just so you give up. they haven’t been fined. and they know EU authorities aren’t bothered either, so they keep infringing on the GDPR.

He is waiting for trump to save Xitter, but trump is taking his time

Briar shares your hardware’s Bluetooth MAC address with your contacts even if you haven’t added that contact or connected with that contact using Bluetooth. meaning all your briar contacts even those on groups are storing your MAC address ( a unique device identifier) which makes plausible deniability virtual impossible. I remember reading the devs themselves acknowledge that briar isn’t a anonymous chat app (somewhere in their git repo or the wiki or the blog, can’t remember where exactly), so beware of this aspect.

Unlike most privacy concerned people. I don’t believe that privacy is very useful without anonymity. metadata is at the heart of surveillance and tracking. In this regard I was a little optimistic when tor came out and hoped that many technologies will be build around that. that didn’t happen because you can’t build a business and make a profit by providing anonymity. now half websites are systematically blocking tor exit nodes. it can’t be used safely with torrents. and even briar the messenger built to use tor has been compromised by its developers so that you can’t be anonymous on briar . All in all I share the same frustration and can’t see a brighter future for privacy and anonymity .

I wish they did, so chrome could loose some market share

I will only believe it when I see it. It has been a few years since the EU is threatening a ban and meta threatening to leave the EU, so far none has committed any action.
