A historical reminder: the Nazis were highly effective at persecuting Jews in the Netherlands precisely because of the country's meticulous population registry.

You never know who will be in power tomorrow. The convenience of a centralized system today does not outweigh the catastrophic danger of that system in the wrong hands in the future. Specially nowadays.

Not everything runs on paid models. Claude and Codex are frontier models, but some people have much higher usage needs and finite budgets that force them to self-host. And if you're self-hosting, you're very likely running a Chinese model

I think there's more to it.

China will always benefit from a broader adoption of their models as hidden propaganda machines.

Eventually with several services relying in those tools, their answers will always be more friendly to China.

Interesting how op describes his own experience and then assume that every other company around the globe experience exactly the same.

He generalizes CEO's behavior but provides no evidence. Cool.

I can't find a 3090 for less than 2k CADs (or 1200 eur). Is this the average price in Germany? It's pretty cheap.

Can you talk more about it? So an issue during shutdown running from the external drive destroyed a partition of a internal drive?

I can see power issues corrupting the external drive (and I can live with that), but I'm wondering what went wrong in your case.

I'm not sure running the whole thing from a live-boot (which is kind of the point of the topic, different from a external installation which is what I use) would have prevented anything.

Installing plain fedora in an external nvme drive and boot from there works pretty nicely.

Luks, uefi, fstrim, everything works fine. I boot it from my desktop, laptops or from virt-manager when I need a quick change.

The only thing I couldn't make it work was the proprietary nvidia drivers.

Well, not photoshop yet, but if you're in the scene of raw photo editing, you know there are several small "new players" clearly coded in a couple of weeks that are pretty promising.

It's true that we're not there yet for very complex software, but corporations don't place bets on today's market. They are placing bets on how the market is going to look like 2, 3 years from now.

I look into my perfect workable Samsung Tab S7+ and remember that it has been an year since the last security update.

Now I rely on a few random individuals who, for all I know could be state agents or a ransomware organization to provide unofficial versions of Lineage so I can keep using it.

Battery isn't the only problem to avoid e-waste, but it's a start.
