No, that’s ridiculous.

This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data: […] © by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity;

As is stated, the call is processed locally in the user’s device. If that holds true, there is no recording and no third party processing going on. Your point does not make sense.

That’s clear. I thought this joke didn’t quite work because of the same reason, too.

If the child has such an instinctive and immediate physical reaction to a parent getting angry, there is something worrying going on. This is not normal.

That’s a real world issue. AIs training on each other’s output and devolving because of it. There will be a point when vendors infringing on user content and training their AIs with it will leave them worse off.

It’s easy to train a model to do exactly what you want and have the seeming “personality” that you want. It’s just incredibly expensive. You need to vet and filter everything that you use to train the model. That’s a lot of person hours, days, years. The only reason the models act the way they do is because of the data that went in to train them. If you try and fit the model after the fact, it will always be imperfect and more or less easy to break out of those restrictions.

Also, revolt self hosting is broken. The web call functionality (WebRTC) is being rewritten but that effort is stale and out of the box it simply does not work. There is no real documentation about this either. It just won’t work and you need to invest a lot of effort to figure out why. The moment self hosting properly works, I’ll give it another shot. Not being able to connect without a fat client is a show stopper for me. There’s no way I can get enough traction for my groups if the barrier to switch is higher than a sheet of paper.

When self hosting all the shortcomings you mentioned are perfectly acceptable for me.

Smartifying the home is awesome. Just make sure everything runs locally in addition to self hosting Homeassistant - and you’re golden.

137 USD per day on food‽ Organic food is not the same as overpriced “organic” lifestyle food.

It’s the same problem as with any other software development: Politics (literally). Some decisions are made by people who are not qualified to make them. Because of the scale of the project, these decisions affect hundreds of devs across dozens of teams with millions of euros swinging one way or the other. Apart from that, when divide and conquer is done properly, the work of each individual team isn’t too different compared to software development in commercial companies. Everything is a bit more relaxed, though. That can be a boon but can also be infuriating if you’re waiting for licenses, hardware, or some team to act.

We will see 😅

Oh, it can be rewritten and it should be. But it’s a very time consuming and expensive process. It may take a long time to amortize indirectly though a system that is more stable, easier to maintain, adapt to new laws, and requires less effort to use and operate. It’s not a quick win and not a win in the time frame of one administration - which is why it’s usually not considered a high priority.

I’m part of a project that does something extremely close to this in Germany. After two or three years we’ve barely scratched the surface. The complexity of such a system with the wide range of rules, regulations and best practices is mind bogging. Just reverse engineering the legacy system alone takes years.

Don’t shoot the messenger. The regulations are pretty draconic. I have to ensure the training for that every year.

Seemingly one of the contributors has visited a disputed region and logged into GitHub from there. By law (export controls) Microsoft must not provide service to that place. So some automatism flagged the account and also the organic maps repo. So far so normal. But either Microsoft dragged it’s feet in communicating and resolving the issue or the organic maps team was not doing their part in the process. Doesn’t matter, the outcome is still worth it.

Oooh, that explains so much. I had to switch the provider after many happy years with them and found a new home at Hetzner.

Many of the suggestions in the comments make sense and will work for some children. Just keep in mind that every child is different and during some developmental phases things can shift and change significantly. Just because something worked for other parents, it may do the exact opposite for you. Sometimes being patient and waiting for a phase to pass is the only thing that works. It can take a week or two and in some extreme cases months or even a few years. Also keep in mind that trying something different every day will likely make things worse. Try something and (gently) stick with it for a while before evaluating.

Good luck!

If you use something Android based for watching YouTube on the TV (some TVs, fireTV stick, etc.), you can: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube?tab=readme-ov-file

I haven’t watched a single Ad on YouTube on TV (SmartTube), mobile (ReVanced), or PC (Firefox + uBlock origin) since it became unbearable… five years ago or so?

What I’m missing from the article that claims that the “precise” burial place of Plato was now revealed: is it, though? Is the location of the shrine of the Muses known?
