NordVPN will log and share your data if ordered by court. They've confessed as much last year.

My main issue is they want credit card info to get an API key, which is required if you want to use it through (properly integrated) addons or whatever. The translations are pretty much magic though. Really good results most of the time.

I don't even know what that is.

I don't even use any Microsoft products but I did it anyway.

Here's a deal. Give me unlimited lifetime access to your AI and you can use my public online data. Should be fair enough, right?

I think KoboldAI runs locally, but like many current AI tools it's a pain in the ass to install, especially if you're on Linux, especially if you're using AMD GPUs. I wonder if we'll see some specialized AI related cards to slot into our pci ports or something. Not a whole lot of necessary options to fill them nowadays anyway. I'd also be interested in local AI voice changers too. Maybe even packaged like a Roland VT-4 voice transformer that sits between your mic & whatever audio other audio interface you might be using, where you just throw the trained voice models onto the device and it does all the real time computing for you.

I'm sure things get more refined over the next years though.

and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices

Well, my VPN is cheaper and won't restrict me via fragmented exclusive content.

I used what the installer defaulted to during the installation at the time.

Then they might as well merge both instances.

None of these people ever faced any actual hardship in their entire entitled lives.

Remember when a bunch of instances banned nsfwlemmy because they allegedly allowed pedo content, when in truth they just decided to not moderate fictional characters where the age was not obvious (like potentially 18, but plus / minus a couple years)?

I think especially Lemmy.ml should rather focus more on cleaning up their Tankie & moderator issues instead of chasing ghosts, because that instance is a toxic cesspool of assholes and disinformation.

Grub has many features & addons that many others are still lacking though. But maybe we'll see some improvements in that area now as well. Still sucks for an end user.
