> The court noted that recently there have been growing efforts globally to limit internet access for children below a certain age, especially social media platforms, “in the name of their safety”. However, upon “anxious consideration”, the court decided not to endorse the same.

It's relieving to hear this from the Supreme Court, considering the fact that the current Modi government's usual approach to any problem is banning internet access.

They've mentioned "requests / 5 hr" limits for each model, which I presume is max number of requests for that model.

Yeah I am confused by their pricing explanation. All I get is there's some kind of throttling.

> For example, non-Samsung Android OEMs aren't allowed to directly sell devices with GrapheneOS and Google will only permit it within a quota.

Wow, that is so cheap of Google. That company has lost all it's values and deserves to die.

They built their empire with open source projects including Debian, KDE's KHTML (Webkit predecessor), Linux kernel, MySQL etc. But now, these leeches won't even allow OEMs to use different flavor of Android.

Linux kernel introduces bug fixes, new features, and major systemic changes all the time. That’s why using SemVer for Linux is pointless and why Linus dropped it.

If anyone assumes their AI chats are private, they must be stupid. Of course, all AI companies are going to evaluate chat sessions for improving their models whether it's disclosed in the privacy policy or not. They're investing tonnes of money into this, so your privacy is a negligible problem for them.

Nothing surprising here. AI is a tool just like an IDE, debugger, etc. All the regular tasks like coding, testing and review still holds true. Developer is still responsible for their work. Reviewer is responsible for ensuring code quality and standards. As long as the submitted code is of high quality and does not violate copyright, AI is not a concern.

It's stupid only when an organization refuses to understand AI is a text prediction software and thinks it can replace humans in coding, testing, reviewing etc.

That's how the system or browser should be configured. Secure by default and any insecurity must be an opt-in. But Google won't do it because their websites are JS heavy monster trucks and millions of websites run their tracking scripts which require JIT enabled by default for optimal page load.

That is the point and business of Quad9. It's not their fault for you not knowing what Quad9 is.

I don't want my family to get malware from sketchy websites. Quad9 offers a simple solution for these usecases. I'll take the false positive anyday over unfiltered DNS.

So other projects are not supposed to critize Google? Graphene's focus is on security and they complain about lack of security in your products. Seems valid to me.

Also security and using non-Google OS are not niche usecases. I'm not sure how you are working on Android, the most popular OS while claiming security is a niche usecase. In fact, I have less confidence in security of your work.
