If true, these guys are really disgusting. We will see the day when he falls.

Reddit will become irrelevant. Long live Lemmy.

On contrary, we should run all our models locally.

My issue is not with the use of AI. Is with how the AI is used, the internal processes than ensure the quality of the product and that the focus of the provider continues to be on the matters why I first bought their product.

These exchanges in the article, blow every single point described above.

This is fucked up. I had proton in good consideration, security wise. I even saw it as a good alternative to big tech (it doesn’t need to be perfect).

These last reports change everything, I cannot trust the quality of those products and on the advertised security strengths. “Fast and no eyes on code”, doesn’t inspire too much confidence. “No time for security testing”, defeats the whole advantage (unique selling point) of your company.

I guess Tuta is the alternative I will consider and promote, after knowing this.

They should be forced to replant the whole area, and pay for it.

Who the hell happily uses Azure?

These people are so out of touch

They didn’t even try. It seems it was all a show.

Also, as a customer, I’m definitely won’t bother to create an account on Meta just so i can interact with the businesses(whatsapp is the sole exception)

Sometimes you are pressured by your peers:

• “This business has this thing/event on FB/WA/IG, lets all sign in using the app and go. Cmon just make an account don’t be like that”
• “Look at this promotion/raffle/party/event, we could participate, we just need to add a like/repost/whatever on this page.”

Businesses also bring people in:

• “To participate in this campaign or have access to this discount, you must like/repost/whatever on our FB/IG page.”
• “To book the room/court/machine/etc, please reach us out using Whatsapp, or join our Whatsapp community”

And many other scenarios.

Over the years I saw countless examples of this. A business presence brings people in to the closed platform, and you get pushed out of social circles and activities because you aren’t a customer of Meta.

True, but customers also go to where businesses are. People are feeling pressured to use these services by businesses that only have a presence there.

True, but someone has to start.

Stop using meta products

Guess what will happen next time something similar is found

f-droid, apk, all built on top of Google ruled tech. The problem is Android and the grip Google has on it.

Use the Web, or if you have the tech skills, other OS. Interacting with a model, is just text after all.

Mistral requires play services.

You don’t need to use Google/Android, you chose to.

Stopped using and producing content for reddit a long time ago.

Long live Lemmy.

People… Windows and Xbox is not an improvement (it can be even worse). Build a Linux Gaming PC, that’s true freedom.
