It's interesting how Germans pretend to value their privacy, and then they put their names on the doorbell :)

Proton Pass has a good backend, but their clients are so-so. Specifically, the auto-fill feature in both browser extension and Android client. The browser extension is also pretty buggy, keeps forgetting settings, and occasionally logs me out.

Why would anyone use a proprietary browser in 2026?

It's all over the news, but nobody really knows what an 'associate member' of the EU is

Just showing documents? I never saw a bank that will do this. They always make a copy.

True, but those skills should be in an open-source model, not in a pseudo-open AI. That's a significant condition for me.

I remember how the "live map" for public transport in Berlin was actually a map with where the transport should be, not where it actually was. At least that was the case a couple of years ago with VBB =)

"Having failed to achieve what they wanted, they pretended that they wanted what they had achieved."

My default browsing habits are in incognito mode. I only open normal browser for websites where I want a persistent session. I haven't noticed the "bubblification" with DDG. And I actually find DDG AI answers helpful (sometimes).

StartPage doesn't only block VPN access, but also "regular" connections. And what's worse, it doesn't ask to solve some captcha, but blocks you completely and only shows the form where you can say why you think they are wrong.

I'm going through something similar. All the symptoms described in the article are present in the company where I work. But I don't blame AI. AI is just a tool. I blame the company culture, because it's the source of those problems.

For starters, not sending a notification "he is now using this app!" to everyone who has my phone number.

Tbh, anything that is not a proprietary closed garden. Why access to the clubs/interest groups now requires to compromise the privacy?

I don't get your point. Are you saying that Apple can sell more specialized iPhones?

But that's exactly what is the problem with modern Apple - software is shit. It's limited on purpose, so that the users are forced to buy more Apple devices. So no, they don't need to sell more iPhones, they need to make their software better, so it won't be like a cult where you need to keep buying a bunch of different devices. But then they won't get easy money from the followers, so they will never do this.
