It may not be a scam per se, but it certainly is a misnomer at this point… it’s one of those words (like “enterprise” or “pro”) that have been appropriated by marketing and devoided of any meaning. AI as a word will gradually die while people gradually realize it doesn’t mean anything. Marketing consumes words (and people too).
Nice, but the name should be AS Roma :)
It’s also on FDroid
Actually, it doesn’t seem to be there https://search.f-droid.org/?q=futo&lang=en
and available via Obtainium/Github
IDK about obtanium, but IIUC the sources are on their gitlab instance https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/latinime
I actually found the tone of the article (which is in tune with the title) quite refreshing, to the point that I read it all despite the fact I couldn’t care less about cars :)
IDK about the US press (I live elsewhere) but sometimes I feel the news could benefit from more candidly opinionated articles like this one and less professional-sounding pieces crafted to influence the readers’ opinions instead of informing them of the writer’s.
To put an even finer point on it, Musk’s tweet today announcing that “all core systems are now on X.com” featured the logo of the company he founded 25 years ago.
That’s the news… is it newsworthy?
I can’t wait for chatGPT to learn it should answer every disjunctive question with “por que no los dos?”
That sounds a lot like “doesn’t matter what words actually mean. I am right nonetheless”.
…but I’m sure you’ll have some personal definition of “semantics” that will allow you to say you are still right, just like you could say “beggars can’t be choosers” in a context where no one is a beggar and there are in fact lots of viable choices.
If you actually read OP post, they are not asking for the moon and… definitely non “demanding” anything.
IDK about each specific requirement (especially the “inactivity” one, but … dude, just log in every 6 months), but I’d say a lot of “privacy” email providers should meet your needs.
Try looking into Proton mail (warning: you’ll have to setup a local relay if you need IMAP/SMTP) or maybe search the web for something like “privacy email provider free” and look into the results.
It’s pretty easy to find articles confirming the Musk/Signal thing https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=musk+signal&iar=news&ia=news
Of course most of the rest is speculation, but… the article seems honest enough about it?
How does it compare to crypto?
You should ask the seller to make sure, but I’d assume those cards will require KYC on activation? I mean, if Romania requires KYC it’s difficult to think someone can sell anonymous cards on ebay.
Windows is getting worse and worse
and so is the press :( websites and content creators enshittification is as bad as other companies (one could even argue they have been among the first to do that)
You seem to be describing the US system (or some other common law one… but I believe district attorney is a US-specific term?)…
IDK about other EU countries (I guess they are all the same in this regard?), but in my Italy the public prosecutor has zero discretionary power when it comes to indictment and must, per the Italian Constitution, proceed based on the investigation outcomes. So there is no “help me catch the bigger fish and I’ll only charge you with some minor crime” like in the movies.
So… yes, what you describe can happen to anyone, but it can’t happen just anywhere :)
To be fair: previous generations of police officers, back when most people used phones, have made extensive use of wiretapping (and current policemen still do, of course).
Makes perfect sense to me (not a lawyer, not a US person)… what doesn’t make sense is how many people still think biometric is high security (maybe because of how cool they make it look in the movies?)
a rounding error on my part, sorry 😋
More seriously, I was thinking more of foss desktop environments and user programs (which are basically the same all over) than about the actual os - thanks for correcting me
linux rules because it’s the only os built for its users rather than some company stocks
(only tangentially related) what does ‘driver’ mean in windows lingo? I thought it was hardware-related stuff but I’m probably wrong.
Then your password (your other, “first” factor) is the only thing preventing an intruder impersonates you.
You’ll still have to go through the hassle the now useless second factor puts you through, so you might as well update your second factor even if you trust your first to be very secure.
