Is this a US thing or does it apply to EU too?

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Feels like building your own resource place would be fitting. Have you considered creating a webpage or repo or shared-writing primarily under your author instead of shared and hosted in a community?
It depends.
Whats the user impact? Do they see it on regular use? Do they see it if they look for it? Is that okay? Maybe even helpful for users to debug for themselves or to report issues to you?
Will the log statements remain useful in the future? Or is it noise both in output and code that will reduce readability and maintainability by burying more relevant things.
If they remain useful but more situational and lead to noise, consider putting them behind log levels or configuration flags (even if not app or configuration but a code flag).
Your sound file is then sent to our not-for-profit association’s servers, where free software installed by us will transcribe it. These files will be automatically deleted after processing.
In complete privacy, but sending it to them? I expected something different from the “complete privacy” label/claim.
Is Lokas RGPD compliant?
From a legal point of view: it’s a work in progress.
[Framasoft, the publisher of Lokas, is] A non-profit association founded in 2004, financed by your donations, which is limited to a dozen employees and about thirty volunteers (a group of friends!)

If you use Google as your default search engine and you search, that obviously lands with Google. If you have type-suggestions enabled, typing input is sent to Google. (Also obvious, to me at least.)
Mozilla may also receive location-related keywords from your search (such as when you search for “Boston”) and share this with our partners to provide recommended and sponsored content. Where this occurs, Mozilla cannot associate the keyword search with an individual user once the search suggestion has been served and partners are never able to associate search suggestions with an individual user. You can remove this functionality at any time by turning off Sponsored Suggestions — more information on how to do this is available in the relevant Firefox Support page.
Turn off sponsored suggestions and locations you put in to search are not shared with sponsors/partners.
You may be able to opt into an enhanced search experience, which will result in Mozilla processing additional personal data, including your technical data, location and search data. Some of that information may be shared with our partners on a de-identified and/or aggregated basis. See our “Data and Firefox Suggest” blog post for more details.
Don’t opt in to enhanced search experience and they won’t share that with partners.
To serve relevant content and advertising on Firefox New Tab
You can opt out of having your data processed for personalization or advertising purposes by turning off “technical and interaction data” on Desktop and Mobile at any time.
Opt out of personalized advertising.
To provide AI Chatbots
If you set up to use an AI Chatbot third party service, what you type will be sent to them (obviously). Not to Mozilla either way.
To provide Review Checker, including serving sponsored content
Review Checker is a Firefox feature that helps you determine whether reviews are reliable when you shop online with sites like Amazon.com, BestBuy.com and Walmart.com. If you opt in to using Review Checker, Mozilla will process information about the website and the product identifier of the products you view using our privacy preserving technology called OHTTP.
Don’t opt in to Review Checker and they won’t share even in OHTTP form.
To market our services
Firefox also shares information with our marketing partners to measure and improve these campaigns; what information is specifically shared varies (depending on how you discovered Firefox and your operating system) but generally includes how you were referred to our download page and whether you actively use Firefox
From the support article:
If you arrive on the Firefox download page after clicking an ad on another website, you’ll have the option to share how you discovered Firefox with Mozilla’s marketing measurement partners.
Don’t approve sharing the data and it won’t be shared. (This is kinda outside of Firefox the software anyway. It’s about them measuring how users arrive at installing Firefox and their campaigns regarding that.)
If you install Firefox and disable sponsored content and choose a non-Google search engine, nothing is shared with Google or other partners outside of what you select and explicitly consent to/set up.
The relevant settings are under Settings -> Home (Sponsored shortcuts), Search, and Privacy & Security
According to an email LinkedIn sent to its users last year, it has not enabled user data sharing for AI purposes in the UK, the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
Setting the “opt-in” without consent would certainly be illegal in the EU.
created a same post yesterday, didn’t federate
It’s there https://programming.dev/post/24395704
From the article:
From there, that categorization means:
A potentially unwanted application (PUA) is a program that contains adware, installs toolbars, or has other unclear objectives. There are some situations where a user may feel that the benefits of a potentially unwanted application outweigh the risks.
From what I hear from my brother working in a bank, they should be using databases and data querying instead of excel. What excessive excel use leads to, at least in such cases, is awful flimsy practices, certainty and stability.
The financial data and its accumulations run through multiple excel files referencing others. Traceability requirements that they have to guarantee by law are an issue; I wonder if they’ll be able to implement them with Excel at all.
Businesses running on Excel is certainly factual. But I have to wonder whether it’s necessary of even a good solution for their work.
If they’re deep and wide into Excel, I imagine other data tooling would be better. And if they’re not, other products like LibreOffice seem viable as direct replacements.
Because they’re done with specific ms-office macros or because libre-office has no equivalents?
It may not be an immediate 1 to 1 switch with extensive or specific macros, but I would imagine it would be possible and no worse after migration?
What are you talking about?
I looked into the document and man, that’s a lot of points.
Skimming it, it’s all very vague and does acknowledge states autonomy over what they consider legal or not. But there is so much in it, and the general broad and cooperative and sharing nature of it certainly warrants skepticism and concern - especially with how different cooperating states can be, and how such a push may have unintended side effects.
Who are these people you portray? Do they even exist?
The China equivalence is so far off. The surveillance systems, the press coverage, the open criticism, and the pretext/goals are all very different between China and this.
Lol at taking over open tabs from Chrome.
Does the default-enabled dialog happen in EU too? Seems unlikely to be GDPR conforming, which requires explicit, informed consent, with an equal decline option.
each function has its own independent metal toggle switch
one steering wheel to steer left, and one to steer to the right
they want to push a lot of buttons on those controls
LOL
Even with a lot of buttons available, good videogame controls are simple and narrow. Natural combinations add depth without overcomplicating things.
I don’t remember whether I serious considered that. I don’t see it in the Play store. I likely preferred original source.
Looking at the screenshots, it looks like a waste of space. A no go for me, given the alternative.

Compare that to the condensed, concise Keepass interface:
Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.
I use KeePass and manually sync my password database file through cloud storage. I specifically prefer it over anything giving me web and online interfaces. I load from local file or on my phone from cloud storage.
So still only a thing after manually installing Gemini yourself?
