When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.

you’re not wrong. Google just announced Gemini Nano that will run directly on the Pixel 8. Of course, it’s the first of it’s kind and will probably be slow and it’s not used as autocorrect yet. But just give it one year or two and it will probably be more common.

LLMs are orders of magnitude more sophisticated and expensive to run. But don’t worry, I’m sure not so far in the future will see smaller LLMs being run on device to be used as autocorrect.

As a Mexican, you are. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not a racist term. It’s just like calling someone from France an European. Or someone from South Korea an asian.
The French guy will probably have nothing in common with a swedish, yet they happen to be both European, just like a Japanese will have a totally different culture than a Mongol, yet they are asians.
You can of course tell people to stop calling you a latino if you want to. However society automatically puts tags on people and they will call you whatever they want. If I were you, I’d just stop giving it any importance.

a second hand 6a cost me around 200 bucks and it will be supported till 2027. the pixel 7a shouldn’t be much more expensive tho.

just wanted to add that OP needs to mask their IP. If they log to social media and other sites, including their bank, with their real IP then the correlation is easily done.
- Comment on Do you think VPN companies will start to feel pressure from legal/corporate powers to crackdown on pirating? 1 year ago:
that server is directly tied to you. this won’t make a difference at all.

I didn’t know this one, and after looking through their website, I can’t trust them at all.
Dev’s email is gmail. First red flag. And their social media profile are Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Not to mention that all I can read about their “protocol” is shitty marketing speak. There’s no technical whitepaper. And there’s no code. It seems to be proprietary software which is enough reason to run away from it. Together with the rest of things, it looks like either it’s a honeypot or (more probably) a fake privacy initiative trying to grab some money/data from non technical users.

Briar and GNU Jami are the best privacy friendly P2P messengers. I think they have MacOS support but not sure.
SimpleX Chat, although not P2P, uses servers as relays and they get virtually not data from you. You can even switch relays daily or host your own. Depending on your use case, it could be useful since IMO it works better than P2P messengers (due to the limitations of P2P)
