I have it on my Pi, and it does the job just fine. But if you have a home server with a little more power, do it there instead.

The last thing you want is your DNS to bottleneck. Never had a problem with my Rasp5, but it all depends on how many other services you try to run.

Yeah, they really do throw money around to keep control…

And I know it doesnt help to always say “we need political change” because it’s also an easy escape to just say that.

Im also trying my best moving me and my friends to other platforms, and we shouldnt stop. Be the change.

This is where it depends on country.

EU is making better privacy laws, others are making worse. (yes, I know about the encryption bill in the EU, that has never been voted through. I also know about all the privacy laws that actually work here)

People want convinience. You’ll never get people to do it, unless it personally affects them. Realisticly, you can convert a few.

But most importantly. It shouldnt be that hard to have privacy. THATS the problem. People shouldnt need to do alot of things to get it.

Do something about the problem (political, legally change privacy laws) instead of every single person.

But I know that can be near impossible depending of where you live.

My guess is that people who would use DEX is also people who are satisfied with ChromeOS. Which is just as closed down.

Hopefully, when Android does this, they will be under same gatekeeper restrictions in the EU as Windows.

Random question, as Im guessing you are from the states.

How impossible is it actually in pratice to vote in other parties than Democrats and Republicans?

Asking because it seems like you got a hard time changing things, if theres no competition in politics.

But only as it seems.

EU fines is a ladder system. First offence it can be around the 600m. Next one is % of their income worldwide (not profit).

Should they hit hard on the first offence? Maybe, but getting the first strike is not fun either with how this system works.

Aah, the US.

The only place in the world where everyone knows the word ‘communism’ and nobody knows what it is.

Russia and China are not communism btw. :shocked Pikachu:

This is the way.

I for sure also want to access it on my Home Assistant, and it really can save alot of power to automate it. Even going down to 20C in the night, and make it going to 22C before anyone wakes up saves alot in a year.

But stay the fuck out of my data.

They call the product line ‘Nest’, because it’s where their data servers is getting nutrition from.

So Google is telling us, they cant make a product if there are standards or requirements for what they are doing?

That means whatever US customers are buying, theres something in it, that does something illegal in EU.

Same, good to find out though. Good thing is some phone manufatures will now actually have to do something about poor efficiency, if they want to sell more.

I always look at it when buying machines for my home, why not a phone.

How can you hate on smart homes, when it’s a concept in itself with 100 different use cases.

My home cuts of the power for my standby devices when I leave it and nobody’s there. It makes sure everything is locked at night. It literally saves me 100’s on heating.

My light dims and uses less power when the sun is down. Good for the eyes and the bill.

It can run my washing machine when power is cheapest.

So now, if it does all that, making sure less ressources are spent, both money and CO2, and privacy is good, then why on earth you even hate it, let alone have an opinion about it. Why you care?

It goes up if they dont comply. This is first offence since the law came into effect.

Maybe I know nothing, but my VPN always defaults to Netherlands in the EU.

Could it be that its just hosted there through some tunnel VPN or some shit?

I dont know how it works, so maybe its all wrong.

Exactly, and you dont need to be consistent in this case. You set examples for the biggest offenders, and then others would think twice.

Also, you need to qualify as a gate keeper to be in the lime light. EU is going for the biggest, not everyone at once.

And for the Amazon example: they are only big in some EU countries, and its not close to US popularity. They might not be a gate keeper here.

I think you would assume OpenAI and Microsoft had the backing for doing it though.

Great results. Would an AI build for this not be better, or is it just meant as a kind of benchmark for LLMs?

They already have credit score that you obtain by doing what they tell you to with your money.

EU is democratic, which also means everyone can propose a law. Never have EU put a backdoor into anything, but its true that there have been law proposals for it.

Never voted through.
