I can agree with that. As much as I’d prefer pressing the “delete all Ai in the world” button, it has some uses and doesn’t have to be predatory.

This is crazy to me. I would have gone insane as a child if I couldn’t have imagined badass scenarios in my head when I was bored.

I don’t think “the left” needs to abandon religion. I have the left in quotes because most of the time we’re actually talking about progressives. And you can’t be progressive while dictating the beliefs of others. Leftism, however, benefits greatly from being united in belief. Unity is what it’s all about. But they don’t, because leftists are usually more progressives than anything else. Even when it happens, the hive mind mentality is what makes extreme leftism easy to fall apart and easy to slip into dictatorships at high population levels. And yet, we are approaching a post scarcity, post career having society, which demands socialism to some extent. But with a reliance on globalism. And bad foreign policy in place.

I don’t have an ultimate point in this I guess. I don’t know the solution, but it’s not stamping out religion and it’s not the reactionary fascism that America is a part of now.

I’m not saying it should happen. I’m just saying I’m surprised it isn’t constantly happening.

I think that this is good and all for a regular person end user that might want to use it for efficiency. But the main problem OP is stating is that there will be people who will not use it so ethically, and we may not have the ability to “opt out”, as it were.

Offline mode is available for free on the mobile app, but not desktop. Doesn’t work offline for browser extension at all, which is how auto fill works on desktop, which is much more useful. And offline mode for Proton  just means you can view the passwords you already created, not create more.

There are true offline local password managers but as long as the cloud sync is encrypted, I see no reason to avoid using it and miss out on half the functionality. Auth is more debatable but I’ve found uses for cloud hosted Auth too.

Because you should have your email, password manager, and authenticator be 3 different services. Otherwise there is 1 point of failure.

No, Play Store does not require Play Services integration, nor does it mandate any trackers.

In practice though, most use Play Services for push notifications, and there are a LOT of apps with at least Google Crashlytics, Google Firebase Analytics, and Google Admob trackers. Check out Exodus for tracker reports. Or use the Tracker Controller app. Just note that some trackers are pretty benign, or even a security feature, like Sentry.

Let’s gooooooo

If this existed, it would prevent a lot of us from making the same mistakes as a species over and over and over.
