The audits mean nothing when the Swiss government can compel Proton to do whatever they want, as they’ve done before.

The only difference between what you’re describing and what Proton did is that Proton were obligated to notify the user.

You should not trust any company with your privacy regardless of where they’re located. Proton is logging what you’re doing just as much as anyone else.

Bitwarden caches your vault to your device, so you don’t actually need a live connection to the server.

It’s not a feature I use, but I just tested it in the latest beta release and it worked fine.

No, Traccar seemed like the better of the two, but I don’t like that you can’t use the site without webGL.

I’ve tried owntracks and traccar and I’m not really a fan of either so I’d love to try this once it’s open sourced.

It does, that’s the icon for Cromite.

It is illegal to take pictures of people in public spaces in 0 states.

Same encryption key can create “alternative facts” - impossible to prove which conversation really happened

Can you elaborate on what this means?

What you’re describing sounds pretty much exactly like how I use Proxmox at this point (everything in LXCs, most just running docker on Alpine) and I’ve been wanting to make the switch to Incus for a while. Did you migrate your LXCs over from Proxmox? I’m a little worried about how painful that process might be.

It does not mean that at all. Nothing about choosing to release a model for free or not has any bearing on whether or not the app will respect the privacy of its users.

OpenAI could feel like they’re making enough money off of their proprietary model that they don’t need to collect data (I’m not saying this is likely), while DeepSeek could have released the model for free hoping mass adoption leads to more app downloads and more data to harvest. I don’t assume either has good intentions.

You think them already invasively farming user data from tiktok somehow makes them less likely to do the same thing with another app, and not more likely?

If someone stole $1000 from you and then asked to borrow $20, would you give it to them? Surely they won’t steal that too, they already have $1000.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make. That means they have good intentions with the data they’re collecting about the users of their mobile apps?

I run deepseek locally so obviously I appreciate that they made that decision, but let’s not pretend that something can’t be given away for free with bad intentions. People running LLMs locally are a drop in the bucket compared to people just downloading an app.

This has no relevance to politics and I’m not attacking anything by saying forcing sign ups is a barrier to content or that you’re wrong about it having anything to do with bots, you dork.

No it isn’t, they are letting bots scrape the articles just like every other news site for that sweet, sweet SEO. Why do you think the archive.is link has the full article?

Still a wall between people clicking the link and the content.

How? The only way to prevent the site or the postal service from potentially being used for sending CSAM is indiscriminate surveillance.

Do you also think the government should be reading everyone’s mail? Should they be scanning every device capable of storing data ever shipped?

I think the risk of losing data naturally leads to people seeking out the most robust storage solution possible when 90% of those people would probably be better off with something simpler with less that can go wrong.
