After you install it you cana "safe contact" or do the reporting on a website which will blocklist the phone's IMEI on all phone companies, block any banking app sessions and remotely wipe the phone.
It also functions as a public searchable database of stolen phones, allowing a prospective buyer of a second hand device to check it.
Are you earning more money or working fewer hours? Are you eating healthier meals, with better sleeping quality? Because all I read is that you are generating more money for the shareholders.
The true american dream. Generating as much money for shareholders as humanly possible and then going home to your rented apartment to be surveilled by AI companies finding ever more intrusive ways to shove ads in your face.
Even more importantly, generating even more wealth for the already beyond ultra-wealthy, to whom those "shareholders" are simply a necessary annoyance in their quest to be the last to die with all the wealth. :sigh: :sadface:
The target of this process is not the residential use, but industry processing.
Instead of heating water to extract coffee and then latter cooling it to freeze dry and make instant coffee you keep the whole process at low temperatures, saving lots of power.
Portugal has a growing Xenophobic attitude towards immigrants, specially Brazilians and this is reflected in linguistic prejudice.
They have concerns of portuguese children learning to "speak brazillian" because there is a lot more of video content being produced in Brasil than in Portugal and stuff like movies, videogames and software in general are avaliable in brazilian localization/adaptation first.
We have the same thing happening, on multiple levels, here too. First some Spanish parents are afraid the children aren't listening and watching enough Spanish media. Then additionally, some Catalan parents are afraid the children don't get to use Catalan in school so they don't become proficient enough to use it in society.
The Catalan situation is completely different and unrelated, being a completely different language and not endangered (with or without scary quotes, as you prefer) by an ex-colony that became independent. Actually many Catalans would like to be such ex-colony.
> The Catalan situation is completely different and unrelated
I'm not saying it's the same, but there is definitively similarities in that parents are worrying about what language their children use. And yeah, unrelated, wasn't trying to claim it's the same or better/worse or anything, just another similar situation other (curious) people might want to learn more about, regardless of what you think Catalan wants or not.
Spain also took the route of dubbing foreign media, whereas Portugal tends to subtitle instead. This sort of exacerbates the situation, since it means that typically any Portuguese dubs of American media will be Brazilian.
As portuguese immigrant that has lived in a few European countries I find this growing attitude quite sad.
It starts by we emigrate all over the place, when something happens to a portuguese abroad due to xenophobic attitudes, it is all over the place on the news, they squeeze the juice until there is no more news to talk about.
Then some folks decide to do exactly the same to others that like us abroad, decide to try their luck in Portugal.
And yes, I have experience what means to be shown that Portuguese aren't welcomed.
As a father of 3, I’m kind of guilty of that prejudice myself.
It is not towards Brazilians themselves, which I frankly respect, but because of the low quality stuff my kids are exposed to on the internet. You just can’t avoid it and of having the kids gravitate towards YouTube instead of better entertainent channels.
Random dumb YouTubers doing shit for giggles and overly sexualized funk music. And the shorts, oh the shorts crap everywhere, in all languages.
I don’t have a problem with my kids watching “manual do mundo” or “Paula stefania”. Or “porta dos fundos” myself. Good stuff.
On the other hand, Apple developer relations suports Brazilian Portuguese only, when they do not distinguish between variants of English, French and Spanish: I had to submit an English translation of a plain simple and clear document because my Portuguese version was rejected.
Yep, out of precaution i've never used their sync infrastructure, which I guess was reasonably cheap to run, but the moment you add LLMs to the mix it is obvious that they are in for the free VC money and are soon going to need a lot of investment to keep the lights on.
The thing I found frustrating was I wanted to merge changes with just files without their sync server (i.e. just import this other atuin sqlite dB) so I raised a PR to support that.
They closed it (which is fine) but there is no offline migrate alternative.
It's a shame, and fair enough, their project, but I don't think my wishes and the projects are very aligned.
I keep half meaning to move back to zsh-histdb (I think that's what it was called) but haven't found an impetus to.
I'll probably check if there's a file based sync option next time I switch machines and decide then.
About the "ai", the announcement is very vague. Is this incorporating a local model on device, something running on your infrastructure or a third party model like Claude? Because to me nowadays adding AI on anything usually means higher running costs equals sooner or latter enshittification.
