If we just don’t talk about it, it won’t exist!

Once upon a time I worked with a CMS that allowed an admin to delete the CMS itself and also any web server that ran it. Poof: gone. Fun times.

I’m not sure. I wouldn’t want my music project banned just because it uses a.i. to figure out which loops to combine next, live, in real time. But that’s because I composed all those loops myself and configured the rules for how they relate. That I think differs from an LLM that simply steals other people’s work wholesale.

Nope I spoke too soon. My bad.

ELI5?

Author wrote a lot of words about data and state, but I’m not sure I understand the argument. Please explain like I’m 5?

“we big. we the biggest. everyone knows. ask anyone. no rules for us. no rules. get rid of them. they got to go. get them out of here.”

all he really cares about is personal wealth and the power to accrue.

choosing profit over people again, are we?

Oh good. I hope that means our purchasing price goes down, too.

That sentiment happens across country and culture borders, unfortunately.

Remember that the Council is meant to protect and enable trade. They only care about citizens for submitting them to exploitation.

If you discuss “the EU” you have to distinguish between Council and Parliament. The Council has no obligation to act according to the Parliament’s wishes. They are not a democracy.

Meh, that barely fits an empty MS Word doc…

I’ve used both ProtonMail and MailFence for years. I pay for my MailFence account, and use a free ProtonMail account.

For my needs, the free services ProtonMail offers suffice. Their encryption seems OK, I don’t store my files with them, and I don’t use their calendar or their a.i. chatbot.

The only reason I pay for MailFence is so I can have SMTP access via a separate email client app. I guess paying for their services also gives more guarantees that my email address will be available longer. I care about the address I have with MailFence - not so much about the one I have with ProtonMail. If that changes, I’ll probably start paying for a professional account.

Recently ProtonMail changed the interface of their iOS mobile app. It now is harder to sign out. I guess that’s in an effort to push for more paid accounts. It’s jarring conduct coming from a company that claimed they went non-profit. Clearly they seek profit.

ProtonMail also continues to email me advertisements about their own services. MailFence never has done that. Not once. In fact I had to look up how to transfer to a paid account.

Both services are fairly easy to operate and fairly user-friendly.

You can create as many free email accounts with ProtonMail as you like.

Proton now is a non-profit but their employees still need salary. Throw them a couple bucks if you like their service.

Do that with anyone whose services you enjoy. That’s how you help them survive.

Remember that the commission is a trade pact, meant to increase profit. They would revoke citizens’ rights in a heartbeat if they could.

Turn them into an LLM cluster.

You have my thanks. I asked my spouse to set up a recurring donation.

Clue me in please? Looks like a still from cheesy TV-only publication.

Because he prevailed once and hopes he is correct this time too.

tl;dr: money
