There are other laptops besides macbooks and framework laptops.
I liked the lenovos in recent years, linux just worked out of the box, swapped the wifi-chip to support 6E last year, and upgraded the memory, super easy to do.
Was surprised how cheap these wifi-chips are, cost like 20$ for the intel ax210.
But the current lineup is too expensive for what they offer.. Maybe buy a used one. (in general)
Thats why they dont make enough money? Weird reason when everyone still needs to buy your product either way..
Everyone hates war, but munition manufacturer are rubbing their hands because they know you need their stuff anyways.
Shouldnt matter much either way because they have to have so many regulations anyways..
Oh boy.. guess the future will really be running our own stacks
I am actually kinda ok with DDG, but the results are.. not always very great and the second page is filled with weird websites related to my location..
Maybe i should try both Kagi and Searx
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.
Just pay the few dollars per year and have a stable and reputable domain.
Certainly for fediverse i'd want a stable domain, these are usually hard to migrate.
The performance is absolutely abysmal and the error-rates high. For personal use, just have a normal VPN.
No, selling would also not be allowed via a cookie banner as the cookie banner doesnt address that.
GDPR already doesnt allow usage of PII which you cannot find legitimate reasons for. Just selling PII is never allowed as you will not find a legitimate reason for doing so.
But the cookie banner can allow more invasive tracking via setting tracking cookies which can be covered under legitimate interest for the operator of the website themselves.
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.
Was done before too, but now the websites simply need a banner for using categories of cookies which require it (tracking, marketing, ..)
And we already have GDPR at least limiting activities in a broad sense. (of course lots of leeway, but still much better than before)
You cannot do more with a cookie banner you couldnt already do before.
You basically have a usb-stick with the windows installer.. stick it it.. boot from it (usually F12 or F8 at start brings up the menu).. and follow the steps on the screen.. and thats it.
But if you are unsure you can also pay like 20 or 30$ for some shop to do it for you.
