So what you’re saying is that you don’t like having a choice.

It’s about the ethics of the thing. Using stolen data to create something is stealing. It’s unethical. Not putting the work in to create something yourself means you’re not relying on your own skills. There’s nothing there to be proud of. AI doesn’t create anything, it just throws the dataset it was given into the mixer and outputs it again in a different pattern.

By all rights there should be more such production in Europe. If not existing, than startups should be planned given the geopolitical mess.

It’s just a slow locking down to stay in control… We just need to all shift to proper #Linux phones instead of linux-by-google. Could be nice to see some European moves there. There are plenty of good developers within the EU. The biggest issues would be in funding that development and to market it properly to artificially kickstart adoption of such a platform. There are already phones made in Europe; Fairphone is Dutch, I think?

Windows hasn’t been a ‘gaming and working software’ OS for a while. Kernel-level DRM, paywalled productivity suites, the requirement to log into a ms account for more and more things, telemetry and ads in everything from the start menu to taskbar? The few windows-unique softwares and functionalities are not worth it.
