If you've got something you're that worried about keeping private, go home, and break everything with a computer chip, a radio/network. Because if it's not listening now, it's only an update away.

I think ubi has merit as a short term stop-gap measure, when a replacement system is ready to be introduced. My expectation is it will drive inflation up just by there being more poor-people money to sweat into the corporate/landlord e: toilet paper is more appropriate.
Assuming it's not cached and sent next time it talks, of course.
Probably a good starting place would be to take the three apps you need most, and just search the web for guides to running them on Linux. That'll give you an indication of how much work you might/not be in for.
e: also if a guide says "just run this shell script" even chance it's not just that simple.
Only their word until someone does it with a sniffer. E: I suppose, or looks the source but someone answered better now.
Note: Unlike other browsers that rely on cloud services, Firefox keeps your data safe on your device. There's no privacy risk of sending text to third parties for analysis because translation happens on your device, not externally.
If they're games, protondb (.com) will tell you how well you can expect them to run. Other stuff, it's often a case of search the web or try and see. Wine takes some getting used to, you'll probably have to get your hands dirty and do a little learning.
I suppose, could be harm reduction. Like peeling a bandaid off slowly instead of ripping it off.
They're here, they might not be everywhere yet, but they're here to stay as much as photoshopped images or trick photography are. Just more lies to hide the truth.
All we can do now is get better at dealing with them.
If only it were that easy, we're talking about govt departments here. It's because they've either been brainwashed into it, or the executive profiting from this somehow.
There's a lot of stupid rules about what you should and shouldn't use in gov, and some of the barriers to the should list are very expensive. It's frustrating as hell to know there's a great tool for a job, but not being able to use it because they haven't got some accreditation.
e: clarified individual profit, before it read like the department profits.
If only it worked that way in practice eh.
We found these marijuanas in his pocket, they were already in evidence bags for us even.
The model that can separate the fact from fiction and falsehood will be worth far more than any model creating fiction and falsehood.
Oh, right. Microsoft is a corp. They don't care about the harm they do until it costs them money.
e: also, I love to bash on ms, but they're not the problem here. These things are being built all over the place.. In companies, in governments, in enthusiasts back yard. You can tell Microsoft, Google, Apple to stop developing the code, you can tell nvidia to stop developing cuda. It's not going to matter.

How are there so many stupid people here already?
