You say "was" as if it was a thing of the past. But public broadcasting still exists in many countries in Europe, including radio and TV. They have either less or no ads and their quality is much higher than that of purely ad-funded private stations that nowadays are sometimes even completely automated.
Hard disagree. At least commercial entertainment providers have to work to retain their customers, unlike public broadcasters where they get funded (either via taxes or forced licenses) no matter how many people dislike them.
It sounds like you are speaking from a theoretical perspective. In practice, there is not enough money in radio ads to put any effort in producing material of decent quality. As an objective metric, I found in Germany that the private stations literally broadcast at half the bitrate of the public stations where I tested it.
No I speak from a practical perspective. Publicly funded radio and televisions is pure cancer. I don't care about the bitrate they use to encode their crap when it's crap in the first place.
No, it's still sitting on my machine. It was just a quick-and-dirty shim on top of an LLM service, and not worth maintaining. And it ate tokens at an amazing rate updating every character's point of view.
I can't speak to other fediverse software but I tried a few lemmy servers to no avail. My mastodon instance is under maintenance so I guess I'll have to wait until that's done to sign up.
Your link does not prove your point. It's about ADAS and even shows that it is not universally safer than human driving.

I am so glad people are finally noticing and complaining about this. It's the same reason I won't use Spark or Superhuman. Those are neat services, but I can't abide storing the creds to perhaps the most security-sensitive service I use to a cloud provider. If they get hacked, then the attacker can access my email account, send phishing emails to my contacts, read and respond to password reset requests they make to other online services, etc. It would be disastrous.
No, I'll keep my credentials stored and used locally, thanks.
They store passwords and proxy everything at the same time they’re pushing OAuth, authenticators, passkeys, etc. for their own services. Everyone should have revolted when they bought Acompli and started doing this kind of thing.
This seems like it would completely break any attempt to track access from unauthorized users or devices — any IT department using a backend other than Microsoft’s would need to pretend that all access from MS’s servers is safe.
In response to discovering this any competent IT department would immediately move to ban the use of any offending apps and blacklist the MS servers from the relevant backends. Also I guess rather than drop the connections ideally you would want to accept the initial request, record the provided credentials, and then lock said account because the credentials have clearly been compromised and the user is now known to be making use of a banned app.
It’s also the case that, of the major cloud providers, one of them is quite notably poor at securing its own systems. If I were a company that cared about security, I would not want Microsoft holding credentials to my system.
My bank isn't end to end encrypted either, but that doesn't mean it's suddenly ok for Microsoft (or any other company) to suddenly start MITMing my online banking connections.
I am talking about the fact that the new default email client on Windows will hand over all your email credentials to Microsoft. This has nothing to do with Gmail.
