Technology@lemmy.zip•The hidden Kenyan workers training China’s AI modelsEnglish
31·5 days agoIt’s Kenyan issue first and foremost. Lack of labour protections sucks and the fact that people fear to lose these shitty jobs is telling.
Kenya has long been a data labor hub for U.S. tech giants like Meta and OpenAI.
Also as article mentions, US companies has been doing the same thing.

If they can’t do basic spell checking I have no confidence in anything they have to say.

1·6 days agoE-commerce is the foundational aspect of Nostr in @Fiatjaf own words, so I wouldn’t expect break from crypto anytime soon.

31·6 days agoDespite being a good concept Nostr is toxic due to all the crypto bros. Normal people will never touch it.
ActivityPub only needs to solve object portability and that will remove the only unique advantage that AT Protocol or Nostr have.

Decide for yourself. There are screenshots and web archives scattered across the comments.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google SheetsEnglish
2·9 days agoI have no issue with the payment, my issue is with the only available pre-built distribution being Microsoft Store.
It’s really an issue of their own making as they market themselves as an alternative to Microsoft prodcuts while using Microsoft as a dependancy in their pipeline. Which also makes it a single failure point.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google SheetsEnglish
1·9 days agoEveryone should expect companies to give up any information they have because no CEO will go to prison for you, but they can’t give what they don’t have. If you know of any company that will go to prison for me, let me know.
As far as the case of sharing an IP address, it was made under Swiss court order and IP logging was only enabled after the court order and for that specific account only. And Swiss law at the time required review under Swiss privacy law for order to be granted, which has very high bar to be granted. So I wouldn’t classify that as “happily”. The content itself was never shared since Proton doesn’t have access.
Their marketing is shady as fuck, their foundation structure is a joke (CEO of the for profit entity has a voting majority) and they do hide like little chidren at any public pushback (like leaving Mastodon after the whole Trump/republicans debacle), but so far nobody raised any issues with their cryptographic security and they passed every single independent security audit.
It would be fair to discourage people from using for any of the above bullshit, but security is not one of them and bullshit claims like that just hurt privacy advocacy and keeps people in the existing monopolies.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google SheetsEnglish
11·9 days agoI’m well aware of their CEO positions, but they have no impact on the security while using LLMs does. I understand people that stopped using Proton services because of any of their past actions, but until now nothing they did compromised the security of the products.
Will be interesting to see what their next annual independent security audit will say.

14·10 days agoI’m shocked that people who have no idea what security is fails at basic security… LLMs and security are incompatible.
Also they had useless security audits too. https://www.filevine.com/news/filevine-proves-industry-leadership-in-data-security-with-soc-2-and-soc-3-compliance/
I started using Claude Code myself. I got kind of obsessed with it.
Well that tells a lot…
Just in time to allow Deno to shine I guess.

It’s insignificant at best, but more likely its just conflating phone usage in general with social media specifically.
