Organize and fight the policy. Do not take your frustration out on people and companies that just try to adjust to a law. Talk to your representatives. Create educational websites similar to fightchatcontrol.eu.

I think it's unfair to compare Facebook actively screwing us to Apple not adopting your proposed metric

I don't think they were comparing. They were basically saying that Apple is complicit to what Facebook (and others) are doing with regard to data collection.

Sure, but what stops them from modifying the database?

I did not start by reading huge quantities of source code, including sophisticated programs well beyond my current understanding, in all manner of languages and platforms. This seems very different to training a machine-learning model to me.

I don't really see how the complexity (which is subjective) of the source code one reads makes the training different.

In essence, a good remote desktop software will use video encoding/decoding (h264/265 for both ways being very fast) to encode captured frames of the desktop, and a good transport protocol over the network with good tuning parameters to achieve low latency (which is what mine does). I believe this is what NoMachine and Parsec do and why they are so good (along with NICE DCV)

They do, but the paid version of NoMachine has?/had? a mode called X11 vector graphics explained better by NXDev here [0]. I've used it from 2016 until 2021 and for classic applications (ie apps not requiring a GPU) is incredibly fast. To the point that I used to forget i was working remotely.

For all the people that complain about phoning home. You are using macos or windows right? Isn't that what most apps do on those platforms? Chrome, firefox, your image viewer (macos), explorer (windows: the recent ad fiasco), docker, most electron apps, siri, cortana. Even login (windows). So now your terminal will do it too.

To make myself clear: I completely agree with you. Just pointing out the fun.

You can always use a burner phone with a fake identity if you want to stick it to the man.

You cannot do that everywhere (legally). For example in Greece you are required to give your id to the network provider or they block your sim card.

I understand the reasoning behind the license change for elastic search / kibana and the rest of the server side products. But why did they have to change the license for Eui [0]. It is a real shame because it is amazing for building admin UIs.
