Took me a long time to understand this was stairs!

Did you get the special chloroform-infused masks? I hear they’re the only ones that do the job properly.

But in the end, yes, it is a MITM. If you need your data to be E2E encrypted, don’t use it.

Or do use E2E encryption. You can still have a layer of encryption within the SSL tunnel that cloudflare controls. Like you’d do for an E2EE filestore: the webserver (and cloudflare) see the website woosh by, and all that you do on it, but the files themselves are encrypted opaquely to both, and decrypted only by a browser at the other end.

That said, the LLM isn’t running an array of bonus functions like breathing and wondering why you said that stupid thing to your Aunt’s cousin 15 years ago and keeping tabs on your ambient noise for possible phone calls from that nice boy who promised to call you back.

Because they will definitely put in the work to make sure outputs are all sane and good, and not be pressured to click as many as they can quickly to fill quotas.

Not to mention problems from subtlety of language not crossing language barriers well.

Maybe if you turned the water temperature up.

Mobius Sync is an iOS app for it. Free version has max directory size 25mb(?) but dev seems to have good attitudes; it’s something I wouldn’t mind paying for.

a) having apt packages link a script that downloads the snap. That’s the first problem I had, back when I used Ubuntu as as snaps were rolling out. It gave me big trouble updating on bad internet connection.

b) making the server fixed and proprietary, restricting the freedom to do things differently and offer different changes to other users, that we’re used to in the Linux and FOSS world

This is one of those new Samsung models, right?

Read up on capillary action

The title assumes we know this Dirk guy, but might not have heard of Linus…

Because Italy not Finland, duh.

If it were visual ads with no audio, I actually think this is a good idea. When you pause you’re ready for an interruption of sorts: it jars the brain less.

I’d still want to be able to maximise the video still frame to see details sometimes. Just yesterday I watched a 3blue1brown with a brief freeze-frame of extra detail to read if you wanted (and I did!)

The big shadowy kabal of would-be konquerors…

If true, presumably that gnome and kde don’t believe in the software patent but Apple doesn’t want to try its luck and risk getting in a lawsuit.

(That said, they’re not exactly short of lawyers for a lawsuit… Maybe it’s in their interest to uphold the principle of software patents?)

Essentially for predictive text: to make it easier to give good Chinese character suggestions when typing in Pinyin.

Too Dull; Didn’t Read?

And, let’s be fair, for most people the real loss from this level of compromised privacy/security is far less than the real gain from helping your relationship.

Sometimes I look at products I use from dubious companies, take a step back, and think, this company is actually a blessing in my life even if there is a smaller curse attached. That said, I’m grateful for all the tremendous effort put in by many people to make the digital (and rest of) world a safer, more private, fairer and more honest place. And I try to do at least a little of my share!

This is the way. Depending on how much convenience you are willing to sacrifice.

There are one or two apps on F-Droid for using the work partition, and you can force-freeze apps within that, so you can turn wechat actually off when you don’t want it. That also separates wechat from your phone contacts list, without denying it nominal contacts access permission (without which, iirc, it refuses to work).

For extra paranoia, run your dedicated wechat phone permanently through a VPN with location services on the phone turned off. Answer it only in a soundproofed room, Faraday caged with no WiFi connections except the dedicated wechat WiFi. Speak with a funny voice, and if you must show your face, wear a balaclava.

But that might be overdoing it a little.

Also, Learning is Fun, so here I have a new toy, let’s have fun seeing what I can learn to do with it, then - as you say - that might solve a problem or improve a thing I hadn’t thought of before.
