For example, WhatsApp and their almost-mandatory “backup” feature.

Unless you’re Zoom and just blatantly lie lol

RCS is an industry standard, not a Google thing.

Because the USA has been a broken fascist husk ever since the red scare and has been in slow decline ever since.

Those downvoting need to learn about the PATRIOT act and FISA “courts”.

That’s clearly part of the prompt from this demo website, based on the other answers it’s been giving.

I’m not serially online enough to understand what you mean, can you expand on this?

Used to, but not anymore. I recall a similar exploit for MacBooks a few years back.

Hey kid, don’t waste your breath defending corporations. You will end up being wrong in the end, and before that you just look like a fool.

When do we have the hipster sub-sub genre that uses a Pentile arrangement?

Remember, Mozilla spends more on executives and their “outreach” programs than they spend on Firefox developers.

Thank you for your service. o7

It’s gonna suck so hard for the whole world when they get invaded :(

The JavaScript (code) engine that powers Chrome is the same JavaScript (code) engine that powers Node servers. Node is used to power a large portion of web applications and internal corporate tools. The Chromium/Node project is under the tight control of Google engineers.

Well in this case if you have access to a computer for enough time to become a journalist that writes about LLMs you have enough time to read a 3-5 paragraph description of how they work. Hell, you could even ask an LLM and get a reasonable answer.

No, projecting emotions onto a machine is inherently stupid. It’s in the same category as people reading feelings from crystals (because it’s literally the same thing).

Same JS engine, same maintainers, same iron-grip control by Google.

Maybe as a whole package, but node.js servers are ubiquitous and have a ton of stakeholders that have nothing to do with web browsers.

I’ve worked in the aftermath of DoJ agreements like this one. The DoJ is not stupid (or at least didn’t used to be) and will have stipulations about removing Google employees from governance/write permissions to the project, with follow up check-ins every few months to make sure any shenanigans aren’t occurring.

…none of that matters though now that the DoJ is going to be dissolved.

You forgot the unrelated rant in the middle about toasters being too dark these days or some shit.
