I like your optimism, fairly unrealistic but the optimism is nice to see

On this point, it would be stupidly hard.

Just from a programming and software perspective. All the old code that runs banks and the back end of air travel. It barely runs as it is, do a switch up of years, even leaving the months alone and it would probably freak out. Standadize the months while you are at it and the whole thing falls apart.

Are you old enough to remember Y2K? That required a lot of techs to spend a huge amount of time fixing code that was never intended to see years change from 19xx to now just even consider 20xx.

That is before we go about changing paper Birth Documents, marriage documents, house deads, … Should I go on?

Endless meetings all focused around creating value for shareholders at any expense

This is an unexpected benefit of being in Switzerland. Here I was thinking it was more or less a marketing thing

Legally the product is no longer their priority, maximising shareholder profits is their priority.

Not many companies manage to not get twisted to a worse product for the customers, though their ads get really good

It would be interesting to see this not including infant mortality.

From my understanding that is where most of the “life gain” in graphs like this have come from.

A graph of how much older people are living would be better represented “ignoring” for lack of a better word the babies dying

Couldn’t that describe 95% of what LLMs?

It is a really good auto complete at the end of the day, just some times the auto complete gets it wrong

I feel like I am slowly moving all my data being with Google to Proton. Makes me a bit uncomfortable to be all under one umbrella again.

At least so far it seems they are a decent company

The old acknowledged the question but dance around answering it by throwing out another question and attack of character.

This guy has talked shit online before, this isn’t his first rodeo

Imagine being able to take your data model of someone and generate short form video just for them. Imagine the retention and ad revenue. Could even make AI generated ads purely targeted at a person. The possibilities are endless for the souless corporation

Thanks for the share. I have been looking for more podcasts that are a bit more short form (less than an hour). This one seems like it could be a good fit.

I thought peoples big problem with it was not wanting to give others their number to use signal? Like I meet Joe Blog online and don’t want to give him my real number to chat.

Less people worried that signal had their number?

Happy to learn what illegal content is on display and discussed about here?

This looks much like much more what I was looking for. Like a Foss replacement for the android keyboard, will keep playing with it to see how it goes. Thanks

Is there an alternative you can recommend that you feel is more honest?

It is hard to move away from maps completely but for pure navigation there are many alternatives. From the FOSS world, there are 2 I would recommend.

Organic Maps - fairly clean and focused app mainly around navigation

OsmAnd~ - a more fleshed out map app. Easily see hiking routes, ski routes, etc. This is the one I am trying to use at the moment.

Still doesn’t help solve the google review for restraunts and shops etc, but it is a step in the right direction.

Amazing thank you, seems like a good place for me to start

Worth noting while checking out Aves libre it seems the developer has renamed it to just Aves and continued updating.

New to f-droid so if I have this wrong let me know

Sexy weather app. Thanks for the follow up comment. No more ads when I want to check the weather.

Good to know thanks for the info. I’ll have to have a bit of a dig myself.
