Comment I spent $1k on Gemini tokens last month (Score 1) 25

I just migrated away from Gemini because the billing website is intractable. It's impossible to understand where or how your dollars have been spent. There are no ways to set hard cutoff limits, and they seem to be happy to surprise you with large bills. I am moving on to services that provide pre-paid billing with limits.

Comment Am I the only one? (Score 1) 345

Am I the only one that wants things to remain as they are? init.d/upstart/systemd added a huge level of complexity to solve a problems that I didn't have. I don't have a problem moving or syncing my home directory between machines and I really don't want to have to edit a JSON file to prove that my files are mine. /rant

Comment It depends (Score 1) 313

Do you want the Kremlin to have your data or just the NSA? The idea that the NSA regularly collects data from US citizens is well documented. The idea is tenuous that Kaspersky is colluding with the Russian government to export data from USA targets to Russian intelligence. Endpoint security relies on central services understanding what is going on in the world. This can be referred to as operation intelligence. Kaspersky sense data back into "unsecured channels" and may include data that DHS considers sensitive. I would personally want the best antivirus or malware software that identifies the most vulnerabilities and I don't give a damn which nation illegally collects my data. If they want to exert power over who collects it then they should be open about how they collect it.
