Yeah there was one on a linux thread before that didn’t have an interface. Craziness

Is transmission the one without a gui? I’ll never get to that level

Unfortunately only a few are, the rest are complicit.

Thanks for this, not sure I can block an instance but I can block this tankie loser.

I have no idea how an ad servicing company I have never heard of could have a legitimate interest in my online activities.

This reminds me of a gripe with LG WebOS, they dont require sign in or passwords to update the big apps but if you want to update plex you have to sign in. Pure bullshit.

It is a little bit different though, if it was illegal tomorrow it would be fixed in the EU alone. The charging ports is am efficiency in production decision. Companies can and do give different products to different regions, coke is different, chocolate is different, software has different festures and terms.

Surely there is a middle ground from bending over for technogarchy and not having as wealthy an economy?

I didnt say it was laudable oversight but it is more than what we see of China.

No, I’d doubt it. Its quite a robust system that has been trialed extensively on a use case by case basis. Its also not directly customer facing.

Yeah…Im not defending microsoft here I dont use a single product of theirs outside work.

Im saying they are the same, with less oversights, tramsparency and more state complicity(or at least visibly so)

Yeah I’m not entirely sure about that, they are all the same one is just state sponsored.

HarmonyOS is their property, its not like they couldnt get nefarious shit into it

I was being sarcastic, I think both AI and VR will have applications but not to the ectent everyone is envisioning. These sound like niche utility based solutions, not consumer products.

VR has been underwhelming…maybr if we can get AI into it I will love it?

Legitimate interest. If its not first party it can fuck off.

High seas baby!

There is surely a recognisable pattern here in which people leave because of this shit and to keep the flow of money going up they then have to further reduce quality by increasing ads.

I deleted my facebook a few weeks ago and signing in for the first time in years gave a look at what it became and it was unrecognisable.

It will hit the average person in ways they cant see, my firm isnt replacing retirements because they can be filled by AI. What was once a vital role has been downgraded to the point where it can be completed by an AI, their manager now handles the back office parts and AI escalationz which given their nature will reduce overtime. In a business unit of ~40 people 7 have retired without issue and there are no plans to replace the rest as they go.

I did see some work arounds for banking apps with harmony OS. I kight have another look.

There are barriers, I dont want AI or the crazy HDR processing but I do want a decrnt camera. I’d love a phone with hardware kill switches for loads of features.

Sorry I was mixed up, I dont trust Huawei one bit. I think they make great tech but I dont want them in my life.

Yes, its a mature market. We are likely at a point where a new competitor or innovation focused incumbent takes a swing at a new tech.

Like yeah its concerning no doubt, but imagining whatbthey ae doing without evidence while the main competition and market leader is a fascist cunt who disables functionality just before impact to shed blame and doctors mileage reports.

They get away with it because we are not better, if the competition was better they would have to meet them where they are.
