Can you give some examples that I unknowingly use and improves my life?

malvertising and misinformation

You pretty much described most ads. What is the difference?

I almost forgot the monthly “let’s make encryption illegal” from the EU.

Implementation is easy. It requires respect for human beings though.

Tim Berners-Lee, who is a well-known proponent of internet privacy

The guy that advocated for DRM in HTML? We should have stopped listening to him a long time ago, he’s not a god.

AI will replace human beings by generating shitty JS games and solving leetcode problems. But still no concrete example on a real codebase that is not written in JS.

Why are they spending billions on this?

As a new convert to GrapheneOS, I can testify that it has everything you need: Aurora for privacy (Google store proxy), the real Play store if you want, Android Auto, and a lot of privacy features enabled by default. It’s restricted to the Pixels though which is the only issue.

Every month. It’s hallucinating APIs and language features.

If you’re a coder, you’ll absolutely love it

Please show me some example of C++ refactoring on a real application, not yet another ReactJS template.

They have done that for years, and every time there is an army of geeks and gamers who look for registry hacks or PowerShell scripts to install Windows anyway. If even those geeks do not want to spend 5 minutes looking for doc on how to install Ubuntu (which is a billion times easier to use than Windows), you can be sure Windows will never die.

That and AI companies not giving a fuck about copyright. I don’t understand those articles.

Browsers with a GUI was a mistake. We should have stayed with CLI tools: telnet, ftp, and Lynx if you really want to read a web site.

Ironic since the decrease of human made work (art or software) will decrease the quality or diversity of generative AI itself

Moderators are outraged but will forget that in a few days and won’t leave reddit anyway.

As a new user of GrapheneOS, I have yet to see the difference with regular Android except that it’s way more secure.

Apple is free to sell phones where walled gardens are allowed. You’re also free to stay in the walled garden, Apple lied to you.

security measures beyond standard email protocols

Doesn’t exist. The only security you can have is if you use OpenPGP. Everything else is marketing and lies.
