Google is an advertising company first, everything else second. Of course they shouldn’t be trusted, it’s safe to assume they’ll log and analyze the smallest piece of data

Counterpoint: If said community is about a certain type of software, decisions over the type of platform matter more than popularity within teenagers. Coherence is important.

I would 100% use this HPL-v2 for all of my (temporary) foss projects. It’s just genius. I mean, good luck keeping track of the current owner, Nintendo lawyers.

I haven’t tried it myself (tho I’m planning to do so soon), but check Onju voice, it tries to do something kinda similar.

I hope someone tries do pull that on an echo dot. Good hardware, shit software.

Edit: Update with related links.

The Onju Github i forgot before, tho it’s linked in pcbway. It has instructions to set it up along with home assistant and even a matrix bridge.

Onju voice satellite is a different project using the same custom pcb. This one looks better integrated with home assistant and has an actual wakeword system (unlike og onju, which doesn’t have one by design). This one feels more like “better private alexa for home assistant”.

Everything is open source for this guy after using this simple trick. Big techs HATE him!

If they require at least a 71yo, assuming the person started working at 16 and has dedicated their entire life to develop software without ever touching management positions, … At what age does people retire in that country??

Same for plasma, global clipboard is just more convenient

The price difference is that google steals your data. That’s it. OpenAI steals data, ask for money to use most of their models, and buy even more data from other companies stealing user data (like google and SO). Also indexing web pages is not even the “stealing” part of google, it’s just not comparable.

Yes, training AI on user data for free then selling the end product is a reasonable thing to be concerned about. It’d be different if the product was free or the data was sold to them with user consent.

SO has announced a subscription-based service trained on user data for free, and not only there’s not even opt-out, they’re mass-banning users for trying to “opt-out” manually. Tell me one thing here that’s not completely fucked up.

Have you tried to read the fucking manual you filthy lazy fuck? Marked as solved. Is there anything else i can do to help you? 😊

Agreed on that last part, making that the default would be a great solution. I could also use a signature in comments, like that guy who always puts the “Commercial AI thingy” but automatically.

Upvoted & i want to end my life now

…Did you just speculated a terrifyingly credible AI-generated Microsoft ad disguised as genuine tech support?

Do you think this would pass the grandma test? If so I’m 100% going to host this (mainly for my mother, hence the question)

Hard agree on this. Sell software and services to companies, only sell services to end users. I believe both selling your service as a dev and selling a service behind a free app are compatible with copyleft.

Except FOSS explicitly implies the user is free (as in freedom, not 0$), and the software isn’t a product or service, but a tool.

That line only applies when a non-free service or software that’s supposed to be meant for profit doesn’t have a clear money income. Don’t compare “oh how generous is google for giving me free email and drive for no shady reasons at all” to “i host my own email and cloud using foss projects”.

Also, windows is basically spyware with a bit of unoptimized OS on top and you still (should) pay for it.

“This is completle free to use, download, modify, redistribute, etc by anyone except Dave. Fuck Dave.”

I don’t know how legal that’d be, but i wouldn’t even complain.

That’s pretty much the only reasonable explanation at this point. If they were afraid of people finding errors it would be beneficial to allow more players to see what’s the program doing. Riot basically confirming they just want to run spyware on SpywareOS.

He’s just an entrepreneur who really wants to play the Tony Stark role but doesn’t really know much more than the average tech hobbyist, so now he’s doing a bad-mediocre job at both things.
