  • We cant read Apples mind, so thats wishful thinking. But sending telemetry (even if hidden) means it can be used.
    Thats why e.g. Apple is using Differential Privacy for apps to use… to not have to give the Apps full access to e.g. usage data.
    Of course Apple themselves isnt necessarily bound to that system themselves, who knew…

    And why not allow other Apps to replace your default Apps if you want to? Why not have access to that Freedom?
    After all you should be able to do anything you want with your system… or maybe you dont believe in this kind of freedom. Could just buy an Android phone. Fuck the person who wants to actually own their hardware, right? How could they be so dumb and want actual freedom, haha.
    No, we play pretend while Freedom is further taken away under “Privacy” claims. Maybe that replacement battery will send your usage pattern via shortwave radio to an agent nearby…

    too bad… inconveniencing other users was also part of the point. Not sure how not doing anything, but not deleting it has more impact… def. feels like alot less.
    Guess you cant use reddit reliably anymore for searching for stuff, too bad. Use a different platform or hope it has the chance to grow and is less shitty.
    Sorry you are so inconvenienced for continuing to use reddit, otherwise… why would you care?












  • more time into crafting the right prompt

    Thats not work to you? My company pays me to spend time to do the right thing, even though most of the work does the computer.

    I see where you are going at, but your argument also invalidates other forms of human interaction and creating.

    In my country copyright can only be granted if a certain amount of (human) work went into something. Any work.
    The difficult part is finding out whats enough and what kind of work qualify to lead to some kind of protection, even if partial.
    The difficult part was not to create something, but to prove someone did or didnt put enough work into it.
    I think we can hold generated or assisted goods to the same standard.

    Putting a simple prompt together should probably not be granted protection as no significant work went into it. But refining it, editing the result… maybe thats enough, thats really up to the society to decide.

    At the same time we have to balance the power of machines against human work, so the human work doesnt get totally invalidated, but rather shifted and treated as sub-type.
    Machines already replaced alot of work, also creative ones. Book-printing, forging, producing food… the scary part about generative AI is mainly the speed of them spreading.



  • The cookie banner is only required to store data on the users device. the tracking without is still possible and potentially allowed via legitimate interest.
    If they want more they already ask for more outside the cookie banners when they require or want to have your consent (e.g. consent to load content from sources which will transfer your data outside their control e.g. youtube-embedings)
    The limitations of whats allowed is already established in the GDPR, so anything you cannot find legitimate reasons for is already not allowed e.g. simply selling your data to other companies (as long as they include PII)
    And as coupling is not allowed either its not allowed to couple consent with a cookie banner (which should only be used to ask for permission to store data for purposes which arent required for the usage).

    What we do need is to have a technical implementation of the browser to tell the website via standardized methods what is allowed or not.
