The big gotcha is what one understands under the word "use". If I want to USE it as a basis for my business where I sell routers with the GPL software, there are some tiny restrictions regarding that, as Linksys learned [0].
Nah, I think this is Google's way of pushing against those who value privacy. Firefox? With uBO? No cookies? Not fetching Google fonts? Must be a bot for sure. /s
I know that running this locally is prohibitively expensive (for now), but what kind of cost would I be looking at if I wanted to rent the hardware and run the model by myself?
I'm saying this as someone who has learned about CORS protections many times, implemented the solutions with care they deserved, but forgot most of it soon after - each time. So I'd be very happy to invest even 15 minutes to break this cycle.
Just had 10 rounds of busses, motorcycles and fire hydrants with Google before I decided I don't actually want to see that page so much. So Cloudflare is unfortunately not the only offender here.
I didn't try telling to be concise and stop pampering me yet (but good idea, tomorrow), however I found that instead of me writing agent instructions, it works much better if I tell claude to write instructions for itself. I do check if they make sense of course, but its wording works much better than mine.
This might not describe you, but I've met quite a few people who made similar claims. The problem usually wasn't that their counterparty didn't want to hear the truth. More commonly, the problem was that these persons assumed (and were convinced) that they knew the truth. Truth is rarely absolute and someone claiming to know it is a red flag in my book. Double so if multiple persons indicated their disagreement. Again, not knowing the exact question and answer it is impossible to say if you are an exception, but even if you are, you need to improve communication skills - what good is knowing "the truth" if others reject it?
That said, best of luck on the job hunt! Sometimes it just takes some time for the right opportunity to come along.
Interesting question, it looks like they are / will be brushelss:
> Group will gradually embed new technological improvements from 2024 on its EESM: stator hairpin, glued motor stack, *brushless* and hollow rotor shafts.
> My pet peeve with the NY Times online is that there's no escaping the upsell screen after logging on.
I know this is not your point, and you should not be forced to do this, but uBlock Origin has a very nice filter which can hide DOM elements on the page if you set it up. Lifesaver with annoying webpages.
We are talking about different threat models. I trust Google not to hack my phone, but I don't trust them not to spy on me. So yes, running a Google binary blob in privileged mode occasionally is preferred to running non-privileged Google binary blob all the time (otherwise push notifications do not work on GrapheneOS, IME).
I never used App Lounge but always F-Droid directly, or Aurora Store, so I can't comment on that.
But more importantly, you seem to confuse my rant against GrapheneOS not supporting MicroG as an endorsement of /e/OS. I know they have their set of problems, some of which you outlined. However if my goal is to limit communication of my device with Google as much as possible, then they (/LineageOS) still win. Which is a pity, I like GrapheneOS security focus otherwise, but my primary priority is degoogling my phone as much as possible (and no, it is not possible to do it completely without serious tradeoffs I am not willing to make).
High revenue and profit are not relevant - employees cost money, so if company feels it could do without them, the layoffs happen. Low revenue and loss would be another reason for layoffs too, of course.
Using Google's websites much, are we? FF works great everywhere except there. I think the official term for the bugs on these pages is "oops"...
I use FF everywhere except on G pages, where I use Brave.
