I do this too. On a vm hosted somewhere with an encrypted filesystem and only accessible from my home IP. If I need a password while on the way I use my VPN.

How about you fix your own shitty third world country with trillions in debt and shitty healthcare. We’re doing fine without you.

Fuck off.

Me too. Switched to pushover. Arrrrrr apps support it just fine. And it’s free.

Gemini also being forced on me more and more in Android. Seriously considering a linux phone next.

No worries, had a nice passive vent reading your comment.

Nobody read the article.

I’m all against ads and enshitification and Netflix’s recent price hikes but people are just ranting now.

They do. Otherwise anyone can register with your phone number and start messaging as if they were you.

If you want more privacy you’d need something like Simplex.

Horseshit.

The current state of code generated by AI is sketchy at best. I often get plain wrong answers because the model tries to derive. It comes up with calls to functions and properties that just do not exist.

“You are right, I made a mistake. Here is a better answer.” Continues to give wrong answers.

Apart from that, apps that are glued together from AI generated code are not maintainable at all. What if there is a bug somewhere and you so not comprehend what is actually happening? Ask AI to fix it? Yeah good luck with that.

I do use AI for simple questions, and it works fairly well for that, but this claim by MS is just marketing bullshit.
