What if they use this data to target kids in your family in their vulnerable moments, like they did in the past?

Have you actually looked at one? I opened Google News. First site I've seen is t3.com - some review of pebble wearable. I was greeted by cookie dialog. I clicked "more info" -> "partners" -> "legitimate i

That's different setting. Typical "legitimate interest" section is about sharing data with 40 "trusted partners".

It's working way better than original client. What does it say about Spotify devs?

Because it currently has best support for their stack. Being tech-savvy means also you understand, you can't move entire plugin ecosystem of vsc to notepad++ and call it reasonable.

They don't work fine. I run lot's of TUIs because they are snappier. You may bury this problem with money buying 64gb laptop, but that facade falls as soon as you launch local LLM and discover there's no space left for Spotif

Obviously Meta as social network has more opportunities to show "evilness". But also it has more opportunities to show good side. And yes in the end it's always people. What makes a difference is that some of those people sit

Google and Apple while far from saint weren't caught multiple times directly monetizing violence, political polarization or vulnerable minors and directly lying about what they do. What I'm arguing is that if Meta ceased to exist

In the EU you also cannot just get a token to open banking.

It doesn't. There was a plan, but Microsoft abandoned it.

You're dealing with the same objection, because, in the thread about Meta glasses, you're trying to argue about smart glasses in the vacuum. Is easy access to private camera positive for people disadvantaged against the system?

by dzikimarian 29d ago
Your arguments sounds just like their internet.org pitch. Also advertised as great equalizer for the poor. Facebook used it for data extraction and political plays, with no regard for actual people using it. Meta should never be involved in

I wouldn't ever buy anything with camera from Meta. Or to be honest any device. It's pretty much guaranteed to steal your data.
14.
by dzikimarian 29d ago
Meta was caught so many times on stealing user data and bypassing privacy controls that I don't even know how can you suggest believing them with straight face.

I think it's because it was just engineer responsible for the thing, not someone pr-trained. Hopefully it was sobering experience for him.

Well corporations tend to push their worldview on the employees. I remember guy from Google who decided to defend their device attestation, they planned to put into Chrome (likely they still plan). His whole reasoning line was: "obviou

Why that part is most irritating? This is very hard job as evidenced by huge percentage of failing companies.

Did leaving the EU actually fixed anything for the UK?

by dzikimarian 2mo ago
Fix what? They setup LLM with access to private data and ability to read public comments. That's simply misconfiguration.

I have instance for couple of years. No issues for now. Never had a feeling it's going to fall apart. I host it via docker image, pull new version from time to time and that's mostly it. Only two problems I can think of: it's

Honestly - shouldn't one assume that train already departed when they decided to work for company that is basically data mining operation with no ethics?
22.
by dzikimarian 3mo ago
Maybe don't apply to Meta in the first place? With their track record it's pretty obvious that you'll be part of building something morally dubious.

Except they have Flash & Pro labels too for another level of complexity

I don't ever say "Antigravity", because it's not worth getting invested into tool, that will be dead in two years, when "Google Harness" or whatever they will call it, will replace it

Well, consider typical dev team - how many members usually are able to and want to jump to the staff level?

Following Boeing example you given below - it's not like the guy was given offer to become a CEO out of the blue & had to endure year to be set for life. He was slowly climbing through the ranks of huge organization over the span o

I was part of CEO recruitment process (sadly not FAANG-like, so maybe it wasn't "so much"-level yet). Amount of people who are both seriously willing to take the job(considering pressure) and have necessary skills is not very

Market is two companies who do not compete in this area at all, because Google literally earns on monetizing attention and Apple since Jobs era uses children as part of the strategy to lock you down in their ecosystem (see emails they had t

I agree to some extent, but who should make parental controls reasonable then? What corporations deliver is both invasive and ineffective.

Honestly it's more or less usable already - maybe matter of display size compared to other comment. One thing that is killing the fun is that it's impossible to delete something. That or even undo button would make it enough to ha
