Comment It depends on whether she was still active (Score 1) 33

Is it good that a journalist was able to track her down using it?

It depends. Was she repentant, inactive, and not causing trouble these days?

Or was she active in recruiting and training of today's radical provocateurs or operatives, other otherwise involved in their direct actions?

Comment Apple works to increase privacy, very not-Google (Score 1) 46

So if you're using Android, you're using Google. And if you're using Apple, you're using Google.

Seems Google is in the dominant position here.

With Apple, we have increasing use of local ML processing for various reasons including privacy. Unlike Google, Apple sells hardware and software not you.

I'd agree. I've been using them for years and they've been generally good. The only thing I really needed Google for was some programming related searches, but over the years they even started getting bad at those so DDG wasn't as bad comparatively. Incidentally the AI results for programming searches are actually quite good now that they're citing sources and usually the link I want is among those. I haven’t used it for much outside of that, but if it works as well for other things, I can see why Google would want to push it after they screwed up their conventional search so badly over the past decade.

The exact scenario we warned about when the discussions about this "responsible disclosure" nonsense started. Someone needs a reminder that letting you know your software sucks is a courtesy, not something you can demand.
