It’s automated and exponentially worse. It’s not the same thing.

destroy open source projects

I do believe that too. The AIs are stealing all the code and remove the licenses, and the OSI recently classified “binary blobs” as open-source. LLM companies need fresh content and will try anything to steal that.

I found out my parent’s computer had a lot viruses because they are dumb and bought a McAffee subscription. I told them, they answered that they knew better than me, I replied that I had a degree in computer sciences, and my father laughed like the fucking idiot he is.

Let’s say we don’t talk about my job or computer anymore. Also I reduced the visits and phone calls that they had because I’m tired with their bullshit.

GrapheneOS has reproducible builds.

Microsoft is not even close to a walled garden

Were you in a coma for the past 40 years?

IIRC the Microsoft TOTP has an (obviously) incompatible format that you can’t store in Bitwarden.

Bitwarden being the only acceptable application for me, I would ask for a work phone if I had to use the Microsoft thing.

You’re talking about old times and primitive tribes which had cohesion and helped people. Nice try though.

the solution is to look at what successful people do and copy that

If you’re fat it’s your fault. Just look at thin people and do the same, it’s easy.

I have a Google account at work with the domain name of the company. The AI is annoying and I wished they used something else.

For me it was: Gmail to Tuta, Drive to Filen.io (some cheap German guys). But Sheets would be the most difficult. Maybe Zoho or Infomaniak? Infomaniak has the complete package IIRC.

No because it wouldn’t be a video anymore. You would need to create your own file format and application to read that thing.

Also why? It seems like a very limited use case and I don’t know any scenario where I would need that. No one encrypts videos except for those (idiots) who distribute movies in the theaters or on Blu-ray.

What do people even do in there ?

In France some banks illegally force users to use the banking application to approve online transactions as a security feature.

They could implement OTP as an alternative but they don’t because they are lazy.

What about https://news.sky.com/story/you-wouldnt-steal-a-font-famous-anti-piracy-campaign-may-have-used-pirated-typeface-13357462 ?

“Don’t copy that floppy” funded by rich people, or the more recent “You wouldn’t download” with pirated song and font. Fucking hypocrites.

You can’t have a better law. Copyright laws are one-sided towards $billion companies. They would never agree to give more power to small creators or (worse) open-source projects who rely on such laws without making money.

A lot of AI fanboys secretly think that artists who rely on public funding to make a living deserve to be raped by gen AI companies.

1. Things I don’t use like multiple search engines
2. Hiding HTTPS: stupid idea I guess but I’m waiting for someone to prove me wrong

Overall, I have the feeling that they made changes for changes’ sake but I may be wrong. Anyway, they lost (again) 10k users this year and I don’t understand how those changes would help (https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity)

The vibe coders and every person using an LLM can’t complain about it. It’s fair game.

All that work to be reverted 5 seconds later by a random guy that took control of the page. Good luck anyway.

Promiscuity is a word used by bullshit religious extremists.
