I would like to get my hands on one of these. They look amazing. However, with the current state of affairs in companies right now, I’m going to wait until it comes out, and see what the complains are. If I still want it then, I’ll get it, even if it costs more.
For now, the best fully functional option I’ve found that (sort-of) respects privacy are Garmin watches,so I’m using a Venu 3.
And many more. Use any search engine, and look for “list all news about Ai training breaking ip laws”, knock yourself out. And that’s only AI.
They already do. Where have you been?
You are aware that IP laws only apply to the masses (us) not to big corps, right?
If any of us take any of theirs and reproduce (and potentially improve) it, we’re almost certainly looking at jail time. But if those companies want to take any of our ideas and profit off of them without even giving us credit, then all’s good.
Fuck copyright, IP and all the similar shit.
I guess it’s all about choosing what each of us deems worse. “Do I want a saner life even if it means not having some convenience, or is this change going to mess with my life for little benefit?”.
7 years ago I told everyone I was leaving WhatsApp and moving to Signal on day X. Some installed signal and we started using that exclusive, some others didn’t, and we stopped chatting, just did phone calls.
Fast forward to today, most of the people in my life use Signal, some of them exclusively to use it with me, and the rest, I haven’t missed (they call every now and then though).
It is a scary move, 100%, but well worth it, in my opinion.
Yeah, that’s my case as well with my main bank. So I have a separate phone that remains off until I need it (and some other crappy apps for electricity, customs and other stuff). Otherwise I’m still rocking my trusty Pixel 8 Pro running on GrapheneOS from day 1. Now, it is highly likely that, from Pixel 10 and in GrapheneOS won’t be able to keep developing (I certainly hope I’m wrong), so I’m thinking on switching my 8 Pro for a 9Pro XL and keep it until GrapheneOS lands and agreement with an OEM to launch their own devices.
I guess all we can do is wait and see what happens in a month or so.
I hope you’re right. But in my experience, every country ends up voting for 1 of the 2 largest parties because “that other party will not get even 5%” and the whole population ends up disregarding them. And this is by design.
Honestly, I pray that you’re right and the UK people actually tells the main parties to fuck right off.
I’m not a developer, but I can certainly understand your position. It’s unfortunate that companies rely on this type of company to decide if someone is worth hiring. There’s a need for companies to have streamlines that look at the actual capabilities and values of potential hires, regardless of where the evidences are hosted.
This world is way too broken, and getting worse every day.
Then there’s the fact that they don’t give a damn about what people do in Europe or America. As a matter of fact, to them porn and similar content is a sure way to self-destruction, so “when your enemy is doing something stupid, don’t interfere” comes into place. It’s highly unlikely they’ll block this for other countries.
Come on, they would never say “please”. It would be more like “OR ELSE!”
If you’re using an Nvidia card, the easiest way into Linux for gaming (in my opinion) is Bazzite, as aguasemgas mentioned.
Otherwise, any distro will do. I prefer Fedora Workstation, which is what I use for work (as do my wife and kids) but use Bazzite in my laptop because it’s a System76 Gazelle with a 3050TI,and I don’t like the current status of PopOS. All my games run great, and everything else is a FlatPak, so not much need to tweak anything really.
Your point? 🤔
It blows my mind that so many devs did not see this coming the moment Microsoft bought it. I was waiting for this to happen the moment I found out about the acquisition.
I’ve been wondering the same for a couple of years now. I tried it once, and it’s garbage. I never hear about it in forums, YouTube, Mastodon, Lemmy or any other place, but they are always top 10. WTF? 🤣
You do make a good point. However, consider the fact that you could talk with your wife, kids, friends or anyone for that matter, and the only way someone else would find out was if one of the parties involved told someone else or if you were too loud for someone else to listen. Now we have to go fully out of our way to keep anything under wraps, and even then, there’s no guarantee that nobody else knows.
I firmly believe this is the worst the world has ever been for privacy and individualism, and everything points to that everything is going to be worse moving forward.
Additionally, it’s highly that any of us lived through those times you mentioned, so I’m speaking from my own life experience, and I’m over half a century old.
I’m not going to defend the US and it’s tech oligarchs, they are all shit, but the way things are going, the EU and the UK are currently in way worse shape than the US in terms of all this 1984 bullshit.
No country is safe from this anymore, and we may very well be looking at the worse time to be alive when it comes to privacy, regardless of where you live.
Even if it’s based on Signal’s encryption, it doesn’t mean it’s implemented as it is in Signal.
Shit, and I just finished my quarterly distro-hop run last weekend. Now I have to take this for a spin 🤣🤣
