This is a really great use of LLM! Seriously great job! Once it’s fully self-hostable (including the LLM model), I will absolutely find it space on the home server. Maybe using Rupeshs fastdcpu as the model and generation backend could work. I don’t remember what his license is, though.

Edit: added link.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Ah, you meant phone of the time. I thought you meant phones throughout time. Like, today’s Pixel 9 compared to the N95. That sort of thing.

Yeah, you’re right. Back then, it was all marketing and storefront locks. That’s it.

And the flagship iphone of today is lower specs than its direct android competitor. But, then again, that’s how apple seems to operate: lowest possible specs, highest possible marketing, beautiful (debatable, I know) UI… and locked storefront.

It’s also better specs that some software and security processes require, but yeah, it’s mostly marketing and it sucks.

No lol I just channeled my inner 90s hahahaa

I almost got the N95 back in the day, bit it didn’t work with my provider. This project is hella wicked

That’s a fair point.

I mean… the government already has all your information. If you distrust them with your information, you have an odd problem to overcome. The corpos, however, shouldn’t have all this data on you.

It depends how it’s implemented. If they implement correctly, then you’re right. But not all do. That’s a fact that bit me in the arse once, and I no longer use those features for lack of trust.

If truly masked, it might be fine. But the site has to gather that data in order to append it to the API call and it, therefore, mean that they could keep it (even of they actually may not). There are ways around it, such as with session tokens passed between the social media’s page and the bank’s official API page. But, knowing fb, they won’t use the latter.

That’s a good question. I’m not sure. Well, guess I’m firing up the Wireshark.

Right. But Facebook shouldn’t have that number.

Interesting. I wonder if that’s an iOS requirement that Teams is forced into. Somehow, I doubt it.

You jest, but this may actually be an effective argument with the tech incompetent execs. Hopefully the FTC is more competent, but, somehow, I doubt it.

Edit, Autocorrect

On what device? I have Nearby Devices and Location disallowed on Android, and it still works fine.

Side note. Teams is the worst. Just, period.

So you need a BankID to open an account on the covered platforms? That seems like a privacy nightmare.

And the video chats were choppy and black and white and with delayed audio. Those were the days…

Actually, to Lync first. Then Teams. All three suck.

Trillian was amazing, until it was overtaken by malware. At least that’s what my antivirus at the time said. Also, proprietary, so I passed on it after finding pidgin.

Just like a real adult human
