One of the reasons to is, so the instance seems to be lively and won’t close too soon. Because I don’t want another kbin situation. I don’t want want that blocks many instances or get blocked by many (besides the extremes off course).

there is a movement to unsubscribe from .ml communities and to block it from servers, because of the way the admins and their group behave, politically and otherwise. sometimes if an admin bans you from a community for your different opinion, they choose a not fitting rule in the ban message, and go on to ban you from all the other communities where they are a moderator. it is not rare.

when I registered I did not have a particular reason to choose this one, but I’m happy with it, would recommend. slrpnk is also nice. lemmy.world not so much despite the popularity. Otherwise I might try a piefed instance, for the merged crosspost comments and the ability to access Mastodon content

I’m asking because this account of yours is just 8 months old, but I have seen you around for a long time. also I think you had more upvotes counted in voyager

your negativity wont stop us from running firefox and text editors on it. a wayland compositor placed in 3D space, anyone?

how come you have gone back with your account to lemmy.ml?

then you’ll realize the even bigger slippery slope when you reread the article and discover it is for suspected stalkers

People seem to be fine to be transparent and 24/7 surveilleid with their phones. Some even seem to be fine to install doorcams from US-bigtech or spy-devices that can switch on a light. Heck, they even pay for those!

yeah, not us

yeah, then meta moves to process the video on your phone when it gets the chance, and upload the results to themselves.

That way, you can still carry your phone around and not be charged with “concealed carry of a camera”.

its strange because we usually don’t take it that way, but that is actually concealed carry of a camera

Your arguments are all against cameras recording people in public. That has nothing at all to do with AI. Local or not.

yes, and this whole post is about cameras recording people in public. not AI. you then said local AI is the solution. then I said it is not a solution.

Local AI models do solve the privacy issue of everyone and everything being recorded

they don’t, because again, nobody can tell if that person is using local AI, or if they are collecting data for uploading later.

Still, in most of the EU you will still be able to retire. Social security is mostly well funded and stable.

who will pay my pension 30+ years later? doesn’t the system require more working people then than now?

the 3rd image after “Binding phone to Mi Account - More data collection”

and that’s why local models don’t solve any problems with smart glasses. the only solution is to make wearing such hidden or not recording devices a criminal offence. to deter people from trying to do it. also make it know n to the people by making examples out of a few offenders, maybe staged.

there is no practical difference. as someone going their way on the street, you have no way to figure out what is happening with the recording the camera takes. you cannot determine if its processed locally, uploaded right to a data broker, or if it is stored locally temporarily for it to be uploaded later.

reading that warning above, could it be it would have disallowed unlocking if a former owner added their Mi account?

I’m surprised they didn’t require you to wait a couple of days for the unlock

programs were slow, and I had my system on an SSD. I was seeing 100% utilization in task manager on the drive of the swap file when I was experiencing the slowdown.

what are you agreeing with you dummy? you definetly agree to disagree or what? fast fashion clothes become waste because people don’t actually want to wear them after a few times, or even if they do the clothes are so bad they get damaged very soon.

its also not just about the waste products, its about the pollution and the destruction of our environment

“You won’t have a tiny pocket computer with you all the time”

likely true in 20 years

I think its both. you have to understand it to be able to build upon it, but it’s also no nearly as readily available as pocket calculators, and they require much more energy that too. It’s not as portable as a calculator.

lucky for you to have your boss paid for it. but it’s likely not yours, but your company owns it, and you have access as long as you work there. after that, you can say goodbye to your “professional expertise”

this is completely different from the calculator that can run off its puny solar panel

security against remote hacking, privacy to use randomized bluetooth MAC address and maybe even disable bluetooth, safety to turn off more gracefully when something malfunctions. some scooters keep the engine running if the throttle is pressed when the head unit reboots
