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

"No, because *proceeds to explain the definition of a service problem *"

My guy if they export only some mangas and animes, much slower, and with lower quality than pirates, then shoot the characters with the american ray; why should i pay them instead of having a superior and closer to original experience?

I'm already paying for HDDs and other hardware for my home media library, I'd rather pay for a service and save my time, but they won't do it right.

Even for unexpected/accidental deaths, this has an easy fix: Put my bitwarden master password on my will.

Maybe it's just me, but the only topic where i see people consistently complaining about paywalls is in publicly-financed research articles behind a paywall, which should definitely not be legal and fuck universities doing that shit. As for general news i haven't seen so much complaints, but then again, maybe i just wooooshed through them.

Personally I don't really care in this context because i can go to the source if I'm that invested and don't want to pay, their job is to keep track and sometimes summarize what happens in the industry. Seems reasonable to either pay or invest my own time. Adblock is non negociable tho.

The XZ topic was way more complicated than that and overly exaggerated by some people. Open source is still the closest thing we have to "safe by default".

Still, as someone else stated, if you're not hosting it's not truly open source as you can't really verify the actual code running behind the server.

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".

I have (too many) siblings both older and younger and, at least in my family's experience, sometimes parents need to see this in action before realizing their behavior/parenting isn't right.

Take my family as an example, I've been years when i was a teenager complaining about how they treated me and my nearest sisters, which failed miserably as they didn't change and we ended up pretty fucked up mentally and one of them migrated and doesn't want to come back even to the same country. Some years later, I tried basically parenting my 2 youngest brothers, but respecting certain topics where my (religious) parents are a bit too sensitive. The first one has been the most peaceful teenage man in our family by far, and my parents noticed how i was approaching him (something similar to OP, but pre-shut in? Basically tried giving him an ally when possible). They changed their ways only after seeing their previous failures and a more healthy result.

... Tho it's worth nothing they have 1 child left to raise and most people doesn't have enough kids to have a full damn hero's journey about parenting lol

Who said anything about torrenting something illegal 👀

As far as I'm concerned, everything i discuss here is for educational purposes only and even if you share info about "your" setup, it's just hypothetical. Not your fault if someone you totally don't know has the same setup you described and uses it for illegal activities.

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.
