Snowden is rather trustworthy simply because he risked A LOT by doing something he believed in. He’s an international hero.
Self-hosting an AI chatbot takes 5 minutes and is very easy if you’ve ever used the linux terminal before.

They don’t neccessarily need to, you can pretty much always just look at reviews. Now you can make a point about trusting reviewers, but all that is still better than trusting the manufacturer or microsoft.
You’re right though, there is trust involved, but only if you don’t verify things yourself.
Signal asks if you want to delete a message on all devices, incauding the recipients, or only on the current device.
Fair point. Signal would ask me if I want to delete on this device only or on all devices though, does iMessage do that too?
If my current car ever breaks down and repair isn’t an option, I’ll spend whatever many days it takes me to rip out all the trackers, microphones, interior cameras and antennas in my new car.
this is also the main reason I’ll not switch to an EV, they’re all full of spyware. This shit needs to be illegal.
Exactly
It’s more about privacy. Windows might access your mic to get more data on you for advertising, wouldn’t be anything new.
I don’t like apple either, but in this case you’re right. I have signal on my phone and on my linux machines, if I share those computers with someone else and let them use the same user, they can open signal and see my messages. The guy in the article is an idiot.
The problem with those is that it’s often just a piece of plastic, so the microphone isn’t cut off from power. The webcam sees noching, but sound is unaffected.
Hardware switches physically cut power to the device in question and you can take it apart and verify. There is no trust involved.
Get a laptip with a real hardware switch for the cam and the mic. Best peace of mind knowing that they’re really off. Neither tape, nor the non-electrical built-in plastic sliders do that.
So they lied und tried to cover it up, which led to the largest cyber attack ever. There’s going to be serious punishment, right? Right?
I’m torn on this. Allow them and let natural selection take its course, or force students to pay attention, which I would’ve hated as a kid.
And this is why the stock market, net worth and market cap are so stupid. Apple haven’t released anything yet, even microsoft haven’t really had an idea what AI is actually useful for, apart from their blatant spyware, but apple just go on stage, say “AI” a bunch of times and are the worlds most valuable company once more.
And this kind of thing is why my next laptop will be one of theirs
They probably want to be on best terms with microsoft. M$ have been heavily marketing ARM CPUs from Qualcomm and AMD don’t want to be left bihind.
You can still vote with your wallet. Don’t drive your car unless absolutely neccessary, don’t use anything ‘cloud’ or ‘AI’ and pressure companies on social media to watch their emissions.
The Ampel may have gained control over the government at the worst possible time. Everything is currently shit and people always blame the government, even though some of that is not under their control, which currently places blame on the only three important center-left parties. Thus people turn right.
Thing is, they would’ve probably gained even more votes if they didn’t incur so many scandals recently. People will probably forget about those until the next national elections
Depends on the model. Dolphin-mistral is like 4GB in size and runs on any somewhat modern cpu with reasonable performance. Larger models ofc should be run with higher end gpus at least, but even in hybrid mode (gpu+cpu) models like dolphin-mixtral (26GB) run just fine. For reference, I have a 5800x and a 6900xt, ollama installed in a distrobox container.
