Totally my thoughts. I get shoved twice a week just walking around in town.

You’re describing very different use cases. Face unlock isn’t AI. It’s just using biometrics to generate a very complex password. It should and can run locally, I wouldn’t trust any provider to actually keep it local though. Everything else you mentioned happens in the cloud. You need a good amount of processing power to generate the necessary output, which happens on server farms. Thats why Bezos is looking into nuclear reactors to feed his farms enough energy.

I don’t understand the question. You want stats in GB when you ride a bike although your wife is wearing the watch? That’s an obvious no. If it’s a typo and you want stats when your wife is riding a bike, then the answer is, it depends on the watch. My Amazfit Bip can track bike workouts so GB can as well.

If you think Musk has your fingerprints because you tweeted about the last restaurant you ate, we clearly have no common sense of reality and should leave the discussion at that

Social media is a privacy concern as well, but this is clearly on another level. I don’t save my biometric data on twitter. I don’t need facebook to live a full life. And as you said, there are anonymous alternatives. There aren’t when you travel. And living without travelling at least a little bit is kind of sad. So the comparison doesn’t fit.

I found these links you could try out:

Disclaimer: I didn’t try any of these myself

Using a 2 seater with limited storage space to taxi people around is pretty original. Not good, but original.

You forgot *affect 😉

Also “literally” was meant as a double entendre, since we’re speaking about words and that term is so often abused.

In a day and age where the people are growing a part from they’re own language, your asking alot of them. I guess it literally doesn’t effect them much…

That game version is certainly something…

I think the nobara updater works with yum. You should be able to access to the yum update history and find out what audio related packages got installed in the update and downgrade those. Anything with pipewire or alsa in the package name for example

Kernel 6.11 has been super buggy for me. About 3 weeks ago Nobara rolled out that kernel if I’m not mistaken. Do you still have a 6.10 grub option to try out? Since the live usb works that could be the issue.

If all your boot entries are 6.11, boot into the oldest and downgrade that

Wild idea: in certain situations corporate institutions are legally handled as individuals. Climate change and it’s effects have been scientifically and undeniably linked to hightened CO2 emissions. We have stats that corporations are the root cause for like 70% of those emissions. On those grounds, shouldn’t it be possible for insurance companies, that have to pay a good chunk of those damages, to go after the main guilty parties? Let the corpos battle it out.

Simplex is pretty nice, but to me XMPP already does all that you described, and metadata isn’t that important to me. Plus XMPP has better clients for mobile and desktop

The official process was a pain anyway, as it required sending personal identification data to China. Anyone that wants a custom ROM on their phone should be looking elsewhere, although I don’t know of any brand that makes that process easy anymore

Even if I was a bazillionaire, I’d still be pirating Sony games out of principle

Didn’t both franchises had the same birthday

Good point

Indies is where it’s at
