Conclusions from a reductionist point of view. Circumstances, problems and solutions are generally complicated.

Moving on.

Interesting. A few questions, if I may.

Are you running ollama in the same system as the one consuming it ? If yes does it always run in background ? Does it impact performance of other applications when it runs in background?

I’m not a windows fan boy, in fact I haven’t used one in years, and have no intentions to.

But this is a weird way of thinking about MS shenanigans.

• Hate it or like it, windows update is still an update to your system, to fix security vulnerabilities even. I wish they had implemented it in a user friendly way. But it is NOT a thing that disrupts you with ill intent as you mentioned here.
• That is a task manager running some process. But no indication on what the process is !
• Enabled by default is an horrible design decision no matter who does it. I agree on that. But this is NOT unauthorised access. You signed up for it when you decided to use windows.

Again I don’t like MS. Hate them for their bad decisions, but don’t hate them by misrepresenting them.

Honestly at first read, the paper feels like a bunch of whining text to prove a point the author believes in without any alternate proposal.

To stop infinite scroll on social media, quickly scroll 2-3 screen lengths down without looking at the posts. Now read the posts scrolling up. Eventually you’ll reach where you started and most probably the laziness to go all the way back will prompt you to exit the app.

But no matter how you change it, the overall experience in Android is inconsistent and sub par. Little things like flickering between switching apps or janky animation when the keyboard shows up is what causes poor Android experience.

Customisability is the bane of clean and consistent UI.

I’m curious, do you wear the bag diagonally or vertically shoulder to waist. Also, what’s your usual attire ?

Unfortunately, “these people” have to live in a world where you exist too and your conflicting attitude affect their lives.

Learn to live and let live, my friend. You cannot expect the world to accept you if you are not ready to accept them.

Isn’t web scraping copying ?

Product placements in it are terrible too

“Drake’s coffee cakes …”

The show has brought a lot of cringey memories to my life 🤢

Thanks. Any suggestions in particular ?

I mostly subscribe to tech and news, which is mostly sad. I get suggestions to subscribe to Cyanide and Happiness which is supposed to be sad (I guess). Interesting suggestions, thanks 👍

Or they can just talk to each other and resolve the dispute

“What is the greatest value a person should seek ?” and try to understand their point of view. Tell yours and see if they understand it. It doesn’t have to be the same, just both need to accept each other’s point of view.

My answer - humility

Also one or a few people turning it off doesn’t matter much. The tech giants still get their demographic statistics from the ones who haven’t (which is the larger percentage of the population). You could be spending money on things based on targeted ads for your demographic.

In other words, you are creeped out about wondering what they could do with your personal data if you turn it on. But you should be even more creeped out about how your daily decisions are already influenced by them using others data

Not sure if you are talking about your country or generalising all over the world. What you said is not true where I’m from, if the latter.
