maxwelljxyz··on Lumo: The least open 'open' AI assistant
I remember getting the email from Proton, saying "here's our fancy new AI assistant!". I've always liked them but Lumo has made me question things. They advertise it as open source, and yet there wasn't any links to source code on their website when I checked. Would be nice if Proton open sourced more of their backend things.
maxwelljxyz··on We should have the ability to run any code we want on hardware we own
I like the way Chromebooks do things, initially locking down the hardware but allowing you to do whatever if you intentionally know what you're doing (after wiping the device for security reasons). It's a pity that there's all the Google tracking in them that's near impossible to delete (unless you remove Chrome OS).
