Poor license choice. If you really want to enforce it, don't rely on MIT.

Try the gemma3 models. They improved quite a bit and are now able to handle my grocery receipts which sometimes are barely readable even for the human eye.

it wouldn't be ok to install plasma-x11-session and kwin-x11 for every one using Plasma

Why not, it was so before the change. But it is okay to break all systems by default which use x11? Pretty poor choice IMHO.

Yup, I think this is the root cause for Mozilla's inevitable failure: the wrong management for the job.

Agreed. It is very powerful but the interface has a long way ahead to be user friendly. Still, it is worth the effort if you really care about sticking to linux.

As a person who experienced the customer support regrading preorders I can confirm this firm is extremly sketchy.

If you like what NOYB is doing: they are accepting donations.

Enshittification at its finest

There is indeed a big difference between requiring a specific password vs. requiring a specific device or software to be able to use the service. Keep in mind that big tech can very conveniently leverage this technology to lock you in. For example think about Apple, Google and Microsoft requiring you to use passkeys, and then later require you to use your certified phone and app. Most people will not be able to "go elsewhere".

You seem to be falling for what the author was writing about. Only because you could technically try to use keepassxc to store passkeys, that does not mean that it will work. You see passkeys were build in a way the service you're trying to login to can decide if they accept your keepassxc for passkey storage or not. It looks like you are in control when you are actually not.

Correct, I use Kast on the desktop, works nicely

If you've got a nextcloud somewhere, you already have everything you need running. Install required extension and login in antenna pod. Works nicely, can recommend it.

Good point. The author argues that:

they buy the device on your behalf so your real name never gets attached to it.

However it is relatively easy to attribute a sim card to person simply based on its usage. You also leave the same movement patterns on the mobile network. I don't see a benefit here compared to just using a sim card from a service provider that does not sell their customer data.

Just don't use flatpaks. Let your distribution handle updates like it is supposed to do.

Bummer... no mention of the drawbacks whatsoever.

I would contradict you. The internet is not overreacting, Mozilla and parts of its community try to downplay the issue at hand.

Hopefully the court was clever enought to specify that the side loading must not be more difficult than installing via the store. Apple will for sure make it as complicated and user hostile as possible so they fulfill the ruling without having any practical impact.

Finally some good news

Kudos to Niccolò for openly speaking about his mistake of incorrectly stating his video was not sponsored. However I think he made a second mistake which is more serve. As a content creator he must pay more attention to what companies he's accepting sponsorship from. Given the track record of malibal, this should have been a red flag in the first place.

Learned something new. Thank you!
