I’m talking about all the opinions already made up, that EU wanted to take away encryption and give us chat control.
They didnt want that.
It’s like saying Denmark wants to throw out all immigrants, just because a small minority is proposing it. They dont.
Democracy is just great for media outlets, because they can bandwagon stupid proposals.
Luckily it’s not the same body in the EU who’s in charge of enforcing AND setting up proposals.
The EU is not a “one opinion” government body.
They usually sue if the practice doesnt stop for over a year. They do send warnings before anything official comes out FYI.
But I dont know if they want to do anything though. No one but them and Apple knows for sure.
Google hit by EU lawsuit in 3… 2… 1…
The Austrian military didn’t just adopt LibreOffice; they actually contributed back to it. Over five person-years of development work went into adding features they needed. Those improvements are now available to everyone using LibreOffice, which is pretty cool.
The open source dream!
I think there’s a middle ground. It’s not all or nothing.
We can have million dollar studios without having a billion dollar studio.
That’s true, which also illustrates how absurd the big paychecks are with your post in mind.
Sure.
The premise is to bring down costs, and not be free. This is a reality where we can share media we buy, because we own them again.
So you can kind of imagine the world 20-30 years back with VHS and DVDs. Just in the digital world.
Fewer people would buy the content, and less shareholders will be rich. Actors will also not go for multi million dollar salaries. But actors would still exist.
You can argue that this will bring down the number of movies, but most likely there will just be alot of small studios making movies instead of Netflix and Disney controlling the market from start to end.
There will be a much larger varaity in movies, and not that many reboots of past succes from the VHS/DVD age.
Sometimes it’s hard to imagine a reality outside our own.
They just love whoever pays the most. And they cheat on everyone while getting paychecks from all directions.
Fun fact about military-grade.
It means jack shit. It’s a marketing buzz word, and should be illegal to use in commercial sense.
Yeah, I was just curious if the app could harvest it anyway via the SDK or something.
Can you use an open source weather app, or is the problem deeper than that?
What’s legal today might be illegal tomorrow. Short sighted comment.
It’s not that dumb. There’s a market for this, if you want it or not.
And if you’re going to use crypto, it’s better they use a currency that’s not tied to the currency of an unstable country.
Also, the EU is looking to make a digital Euro anyway, which will not be a crypto coin as you know it, but a way to take power away from VISA and Mastercard, which will save European countries for billions each year.
How is it a worse product if they move?
Okay, real talk guys. If there’s one thing LLM’s actually CAN do, its language and translation. The best ones are also great at context.
You sound a bit like people yelling at companies for laying off typewriter manufactures when the computer came along.
And we are in the technology community…
If Mozilla’s programs keep being more privacy friendly than Googles, then no.
If the enshitification continues, yes.
But something is bound to take Mozillas place, if they get worse, and that might be the best scenario.
Also very obvious when an app or website have an US and an EU version. You just know they buttfuck the Americans because no rules.
Even Apple had to make two versions of iOS.
Depends on who you are.
If you often discover music and searches for songs, your method is not the experience prefered.
If you always listen to your playlists, and sometimes want to add a new one, yours work great.
What everyone really wants, is a player that autodownloads and plays while downloadning, like with torrents, and then gives the option to auto remove after x days or keep forever. Everything happening under the hood.
Otherwise I’m afraid it will keep away most people.
