Are there any concerns around using AI based in the EU over, say, China?

Say, could the EU come at the company with a warrant to access the data?

Just bought a couple from Aldis own brand for £3, they seem nicely made and way better than the karcher it replaced

Wow, you're smashing it.

My plan is to do the easy stuff to warm up and then try to attack the stuff I'm spending actual money on. The biggies for me will be android and anything my wife has shared interest in such as Sky (aka Comcast). I'm in a long contract with them so time to work on her.

I moved my pension by coincidence from a US money manager to a UK platform, and am totally out of US stocks where I had close to $1m (largely because I'm old and dull) in US tech half a year back.

Is there any evidence that Musk is right about Poland only paying "a tiny fraction of the cost"? Seems a strange comment to make

This one gets my vote as I'm allergic to subscriptions and it allows music streaming without one where Qobus seems to only play 30 secs of a song unless you pay

Thanks.

I do like that the sub-lemmy is focused on Europe as a whole, the one on Reddit was labelled as EU

I'm a slower burn, deciding to move one account at a time to limit the fatigue.

Today was reddit as I noticed it was still my default to open that before Lemmy

They dropped 72% in late 2021 albeit over 15 months. What I'm saying is, they can beat that record, and quicker this time... I believe in them!!

Hah, thanks. I had no idea it was Russian backed. I dropped it over the weekend. The only issue is I'm now solely on WhatsApp as none of my friends/family are behind this movement.

Fascinating insight, thank you

Does the UK not have first strike capabilities?

(I know nothing!)

It makes alot of sense.

I'm actively trying to limit my reliance on US technology, and while I appreciate Signal is a US organisation I'm going to have to make compromises and adopt a "least bad" mentality

Thanks for the detailed reply, will do as only a couple of mates have adopted it anyway and they're double bagging with WhatsApp anyway

Oops, I didn't realise. I'd not fully adopted so will pivot. Ta

I use Telegram, like betamax have I backed the wrong horse?

I'm genuinely so excited to have actually encountered one in the wild. That is, someone that is trying to claim that Elon didn't sieg heil multiple times. Fascinating, they said people would but I just didn't believe them

Got you, sorry to come across preachy. It's probably more that I missed your $30/month point which I guess means to lease a shit box.

Naturally only works if it works but 3yrs back I moved to a electric moped and the savings have been insane. I feel better about hiring a car/grabbing a taxi/being fleeced by the train companies once in a while

Why wouldn't you just buy an EV from a different brand? All the benefits you describe are of an EV, not a Tesla

I feel bad that as consumers at best we label all under Trump's banner, at worst we don't have the ability to punish only the red states like government tariffs can do

Stay strong

Yup, me too. By coincidence I've moved from us platform to an non-us one so that nice too.

The idea isn't to eliminate all spend, it's the low hanging fruit and then go from there. I'm seeing it as a game with badges to collect!!
