Is the same effect achievable by a local program in user space/container confinement?

I certainly cannot inspect every program I have to run. In fact, most of the modern program have a deep supply chain, and I cannot make sure that there is no point on the supply chain that want to get root :(

Boy, you thought blocking ml and hexbear is enough to get away from this bullshit. Sigh…

I am sure food company, dietitians, nutritionists, and companys that offer weight management products will beg to differ.

I would be really cautious in giving any biometric data to OpenAI.

I still remember the good old days when google has the best code quality among big techs. That being said, seeing how shitty everyone’s code has become, google might still be the best :)

I am sure in 30 years there will be plenty of Americans worship Trump just like they are doing now to Reagan.

Even though both of them fucked literally everything up.

If you search about it you will find https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR_RAp73ra0 She also talked about trans-athletes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ9YAFYIBOU

I have never watch it, and not planning to, so I cannot help you summarize it. Nor have I claimed that she is transphobe, so I don’t feel the need to justify that stand.

If you choose to ignore everything else and focus on this one issue, then I have to admit I don’t know much about it.

I am more and more tempted to donate to EFF every single day.

She has growingly appeal to right wing / corporate rhetorics to attract viewers:

One of her more controversial take is that academia failed because it is “communism”, and we should privatize science to let corperate and youtube viewers to decide who to fund instead of expert commitees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htb_n7ok9AU

They do need to pay developers to get high quality software, which is especially for a message app centered around security.

That is package right? Most people will not get the full benefit of the package, the cash is usually around 150k, plus the cashable part of the package it would be closer to 200k for most.

I think on android, signal do not use Google’s push notification. They simple send a dummy push, and the signal app wakes up to retrive the latest message directly from signal server.

So Google never have your notification content. I am not sure if they do the same on iOS.

That being said if your attack model includes people reading your notification lock screen, then you should disable showing signal notification.

Usually, I spend $40 in a buffet, annihilate all their snowcrabs, then spend an hour next day on to toilet until my leg is so numb that I can barely stand.

Do I care? No, because I have made it: I make more than minimum wage now.

Sorry, quiet. Fixed in the original comment.

I use 30–40 searches per day, and I almost never need to bang to google. When I do bang to google, I consistently find worse result.

It is indeed expensive compare to most of the other donations/subscription I have, but there is really no alternative to this experience.

I use nebula, lemmy, mastodon, kagi, jellyfin, signal, thunderbird, fedora, tutanota, and so on. My weekly subscription/donation bill is probably around $50, which is just the price of 2 LLM subscription, so honestly, not that much considering how expensive everything is nowadays. But, oh boy, let me tell you, my digital world is quiet: there is nothing in my face pushing AI or ads, and I get every update I need, and can just use my tools and gets things done. All of them cost money/donation, but I would rather spend money to save time and my mental health now…

I don’t think it is terribly expensive, a lot of (somewhat large) domain specific academic instances are maintained by grad students with donation from academics. As far as I know, many of them are in good financial standing.

There are several non-profit had their own instance, like ACM. I recall Mozilla used to do, but I am not sure if they still does.
