A small conversation with Copilot makes my laptop choke on RAM, and that stuff is processed on cloud. No way I will allow Microsoft to run an AI locally.

They probably mean the majority of people, not 4070 Ti owners. For them, buying that 4070 Ti would be a better choice already.

I can’t call ethical an app that relies on Electron.

Wish they could use Gemini to generate ad clicks instead.

…Electron inside.

I only mean that the requirements are high enough for someone to stop using it at some point, losing users of that server in the process. It might be different if it didn’t require running a server. Or they could choose to host their rooms on some existing server, I guess.

I’ll think about if they also somehow prohibit 3rd party clients from removing that AI garbage.

I really need some free time in my life to try those arrs with unraid, and telegram bots too…

Pretty much yes. It has channels so there are news channels, personal channels etc. At some point when I discovered Twitter for myself I hated it so much for not being able to simply read subscribed accounts just like telegram does it. It’s too convenient as a feeds app.

My biggest gripe with it is about electron. I refuse to keep it running on my PC. Even the damned Whatsapp converted to something better.

Seems like you have to keep something running for it to work. Some obscure service relied on it as a support channel and last thing I remember is that matrix server stopped working. Though it would help so much if it would be p2p.

Still waiting for Kung Fury 2.

Probably depends on the data. For example if you are a corporate worker and know that cameras are recording data which is kept not for 6 hours but for months, you are less likely to commint something bad.

That’s different from what I asked. It’s about the other users or hackers, not services. I already live under assumption that no server of any service can be trusted.

Its encryption is weak, its servers completely opaque

Does this mean someone actually can do something to data submitted by me to telegram servers, or my encrypted chats? If that’s so I’d like to know a concrete example or a workflow.

Last I checked, JPEG XL takes a lot of time and resources to encode (create) an image, if you actually want it to be far more optimized than JPEG.

I think it is also a kind of “you did a nice thing there, so I’ll act as if I can do the same” display.

Tip: you can also protect yourself from other group chat users leaking screenshots of your hateful comments - just don’t be an asshole, it’s not that difficult.

My problem with it, it’s like WinRAR trial. I know I will never subscribe. Developers know I will never subscribe. They lost me as a potential customer when they refused to revise their pricing model. I switched to Jellyfin and will not go back to Emby. Guess a lot of people did the same, so I can say it’s their own fault.

Emby subscription costs a lot even if you just want to use it on a home server. It can work without subscription but will display a warning before playback. Jellyfin is free.
