Sounding extremely privileged.

Without doxxing yourself, what country are you from to say something like that and be assured you are safe from U.S. influence and shenanigans?

I’m being serious. I want to move away and be safe with you over there.

This is a shit take. OP doesn’t know how the internet works. Join any instance that you like, and subscribe to the community that has a topic based on your geographical region.

Recently, Glaze is now known to be easily bypassed with trivial effort on most available commercial (and also most free self-hosted) Diffuser models.

For your spouses sake, just stfu and dont engage with her regarding politics. Ask your spouse how she wants you to be, since the mother-in-law visiting is performative for you anyways, and you love your spouse more than you are obligated to tolerate your MIL.

That’s crazy because Apple is ALSO collecting telemetry at all times just like Copilot is, but Apple has brainwashed too many idiots with their master-level marketing that everyone comes running to hypocritically defend Apple doing what Microsoft does, despite the fact that Apple has been doing this years before Microsoft had the capability or appetite to do the same thing.

That’s marketing bullshit that you fell for hook, line, and sinker.

This is stuff they collect when you are interacting with Apple services.

Since you are being vague, I am assuming you are saying thats it’s only exclusive to Apple-made stuff.

You don’t know that, and can’t say bullshit like this as if you are an authority on this subject working at Apple.

This is from Apple’s privacy policy

It seems to me like they collect telemetry just like Windows, and of course some Mac apps do have advertising which is personalized according to the beginning.

Apple has been doing extremely invasive telemetry tracking of your usage since before the release of Big Sur. Gee, I wonder where Microsoft got the idea to invasively gather all this telemetry from the user in the first place?

Amazon is headquartered in Washington and the location of the network failure was in Atlanta. How is any of this relevant to a region in Northern California?

For a second I had to check if I’m in the “itchy eel” german meme lemmy community.

However, i didn’t need to know Deutsche to understand what this meme is saying.
