That explains that awkward interaction in the interview. It’s like an interview happening in the Black Lodge.

To me, that is just clickbait.

Slow down, big daddy! You can be gentle at it sometimes.

Geeez, who are the other two?

I don’t think, at this point, people who use Telegram do it for their privacy. I still use it, but I don’t trust it one bit more than I trust WhatsApp.

Yeah, adding all the surveillance technology developed in the last 40 years, so you dont dare to take your eyes out of the display, for example.

Well, that’s a target market right now. Intel GPUs are doing better than expected, I think, thanks to all the big corporations abandoning “normal consumers”.

In my country, biometrics are now prevalent. I had a very hard time giving my face to my bank, but the government is on board with this because, they say, we have to combat money laundry. They are trying to tie EVERYTHING to our identities: biometrics, mobile phone number, official documents, bank accounts, they are all tightly tied already.

So, people feel like their biometrics are already out there, since they don’t grasp the concept of attack surface. Until now, we need to give our biometrics to vote, to pay taxes, to get a passport, to get a drivers license (in some places), and to get a serious bank account. The only way we can deny biometrics is by not needing any of those services (very poor, and very rich people that don’t like to travel the world). Under these circumstances, most people just give away their biometrics to anyone that asks, it’s a given for them.

Yeah, they are like cockroaches. An alternative to marketplace and online stores is sorely needed, even for good old exchange of things.

Yes, more or less. But the issue is not about running local models; that’s fine even if it’s only for curiosity. The issue is about shoving so-called AI in every activity with the promise it will solve most of your everyday problems, or for mere entertainment. I’m not against “AI”, I’m against the current commercialization attempts to monopolize the technology by already huge companies that will only seek profit, no matter the state of the planet and the other non-millionaire people. And this is exactly why even a bubble burst is concerning to me, as the poor are the ones that will truly suffer the consequences of billionaires betting in their mansions with their spare palaces.

I expect it’s a bubble that will burst. Climate change is no joke and only very stubborn people keeps denying it. AI is not like the massive use of combustion-based energy. That was strike two.

See, it’s not fun for the planet.

Kvaesitso. It’s a bit weird, but I like weird.

If only this publication was closed sourced.

Still, that’s a keyword.

I thought that was the whole deal with unlocking the bootloader.

Can’t you use AFWall+ as a traditional firewall anymore?

Is it still kicking? Wow, never thought I’d come back to Dillo, Midori, Epyphany (GNOME Web) and links.

Ask them for some nudes!

I won’t hold my breath, but it’s sorely needed, so, we can hope.
