Comment Which country do they have servers in? (Score 1) 7

If I create a website, have it in my country, I hold it to the countries laws. How much resource I would need to spend in working for any of all other countries weird laws and judges? I am not employed by them to do work for them and they are not having any rights to dictate me what I have to whitelist or blacklist. If you want to block anything, make another great firewall of China and leave me out of it.

Comment Huge innovation, yeah right (Score 1) 41

Summarize is just one result. Shake is just one input. Combining one input with one output is not a gynormous innovation. Now, do we have configuration possibility for many inputs to arrive to many outputs. Yes and no. Yes - menus with words in them. No - we can't reorganize and recombine them. Would that be huge innovation? No. Would it be larger innovation than this? Yes. If one input arriving to one output is celebrated as great innovation, then I have bad news, we might have arrived at the great filter.

Comment Like Youtube was quality until this (Score 1) 68

It is just next downslope of Youtube as video platform. I get offered to watch what they promote, not what I have subscribed to. Not even considering that it never offers those millions of creators. I see no significant decrease ahead, just continuation of it's downward trend. Enshitification is not starting, just continuing. At some point it will be when most people just ditch it. Like with cable and Facebook. No value left for me in it soon.

Comment Infected FOSS (Score 1) 40

"infected FOSS that requires high-frequency mouse data, like creative apps or video games" - sounds like fiction written by some AI, that had access to old and just partial history of IT. Who even uses in same sentence terms like "creative app" and "video game". One is from a kid waiting to get his hands on an Iphone, other from a 60 year old who has never seen a first person shooter but pondering about phosphor coatings burnin on his screen.

Comment Think about the children! (Score 1) 184

Think what they could do! Can you polish a shells inside with your porkfingers? No, so we must have children join the workforce and compete with China. And women, they must serve and produce. All in the glory of more money for CEOs. He forgot some other business growth opportunities, that for some weird reason were discontinued 80 years ago.

Comment Re:I reject cookies every time it pops up (Score 4, Interesting) 102

To reject some of those popups you have to unclick 100 small checkboxes. That need to be opened each, scrolled like tens of meters down, takes some 5 minutes to do. Comes with text "lawful reasons" or similar, from the top of my head. Those are the worst. Can't adblock those by default for all incoming not yet visited sites, AFAIK.

Comment Vendor lock in (Score 3, Insightful) 45

That's what this is called and they know it and use it. Have seen it in real work situation with a different vendor. 5 times the subscription price when we needed to move an application to a different server due to OS and infra upgrades. If your technicians are smart enough, you must move away from such "partners". Yes, will cost a bit more that year, but still cheaper longterm.

Comment Re:Two party consent (Score 3, Insightful) 34

Not sure about Iphones, but all Androids I could record calls on, with exactly the issue of recording both sides (thanks Google for making choices instead of me), could record mic only and the other sides audio leaked through the phone body to mic easily. Yes, not as loud as wished, but undoubtedly clear what the talk was. So this argument would almost surely not hold in reality.
