Bro, I dont dig this either, but the title is a bit misleading. What they said (and they have been pretty transpartent about it: banner on the site plus email if you have an account) is that they will train their Copilot models from the user interactions with copilot, and you can opt-out.

Now, I know the importance of defaults, but we are talking about Github, a platform for developers, I would REALLY assume these are the people that REALLY are able to toggle a setting to their preference, especially when they have been properly informed about it.

Let’s try to save the indignment for when it is justified, this was not executed in a shady way, I would much rather Microsoft do any policy change this way.

At least thats my opinion lol

It refers to how much the company owning the ship pockets for using the ship, per day. Wanna ship LNG from A to B (takes 7 days of sailing)? You pay that cost times 7.

👆Least unhinged .world user take on completely unrelated events. Cat poops on the floor? It was probably Putin

Except Americans voted him into office. Twice.

In fact I don’t see a russian flag, I see a hammer and a sickle.

There is no way this is real, I simply refuse to believe it.

My file shredder: finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary

I havent read the article nor the comments yet, but I will guess before I do: Link previews are loaded in google’s servers.

Who said that

Nexperia is a vital chip supplier for Europe’s car industry.

Is that what this is about?

Domain (rt.com) censored by your DNS provider (likely your ISP). Switching to a DNS of your choice should do the trick.

Nope. I really don’t see it that way. At least as a european.

Without a digital currency, the payment system we are left with is the mastercard/visa american duopoly, plus a plethora of startups that try to lock you in them, as you can only pay to and from other users of the same technology, often semi-locked to a specific country (satispay, vipps, ideal, giropay, etc)

Of course, you can live in the 1900s and pay cash, but let’s be realistic.

Against the “tHey WiLl bE aBlE tO dO aNyThInG wItH uR mOneY” argument: they can already. Currencies are already backed by the fucking ecb or whatever applies in your case. The banks already have a list of all your transactions so I don’t see how that would become a new concern either.

Moreover, speaking euro-wise again, there is no plan to eliminate cash with the introduction of a digital currency. And i refuse to judge a policy based on an alleged “intention”, what matters is the written facts.

It has to be said that parallel to this we (users of sepa banks) now have unlimited, instantaneous, fee-less bank transfers, i belive thanks to eu regulations. It might be okay for person-to-person transfers but as of now very few businesses accept transfers and it is usually only for large purchases, the rest you are mostly expected to pay with card (visa/mc).

Perhaps you didn’t read the part where it says it is opt-in…? Or maybe made up the part where it says that the classic local backup mechanism will be removed?

Ahahahahahahahahhahano why am i laughing i live in the eu fuck

Who would have thought the best security practice would turn out to be having devices too old to be updated with spyware? No jokes

Basically anything else you use here in the west sends all data to Amazon-controlled servers. But they make sure its encrypted so only them can see it. Nice.

How is it with notifications and location nowadays? That’s my main concern about switching. SafetyNet or dog developers enableing “check if app installed from playstore” stuff?

Its not about nicely asking apple for “help” pre installing some apps, it is forcing them to open up the os to different software sources.

I don’t see it necessarely as a bad thing. I would rather have my gov id app (for taxes, id and driving licence, public services info) on my phone when i buy it, rather than candy crush and other fucking bloatware. I think it would also help a lot of non-tech savy users set up their phones quickly.

Second of all, gov ID apps having their own store on the side is good. Them being only available on google’s store makes it so that if you want to access public services from your state you have to go through google (?), it is clearly not acceptable by a government standpoint, It is even worse than a monopoly.

Maybe Ukranian with US help? I mean last attack on EU infrastructure was done by them so there is precedents, I guess we are missing the motive this time…
