Die CSU unter Markus Söder setzt weiter auf Microsoft und gibt dafür mehr als 360 Millionen Euro aus. Für mich ist das der falsche Weg. Statt die Abhängigkeit von einem US-Konzern zu vergrößern, sollte Bayern stärker auf Open Source und Linux setzen. Das würde die digitale Souveränität Bayerns stärken, den Wettbewerb fördern und Steuergeld langfristig sinnvoller einsetzen.

RE: https://101010.pl/@chlopmarcin/117044586895781024

Kolego, teraz prostym językiem bez linków. 🙂

System e/OS fundacji Murena wysyłał/wysyła¹? treści głosowe swoich użytkowników do OpenAI.
Obecnie funkcja przetwarzania mowy ma działać lokalnie, zmiana została wprowadzona 18 dni temu, Ty upierasz się iż krytyka jest nieaktualna. OK👍

Moim zdaniem jest ona uzasadniona

Wcześniej umieściłem aktualne WARUNKI KORZYSTANIA Z USŁUGI, w których widnieje iż Murena przesyła treści głosowe do OpenAI.

¹ Prostym językiem pytam: wysyła czy nie wysyła?

Umowa ma znaczenia, to jest ochrona prawna...

FUNDAMENTY

Wpisy z form które cytowałem mają znaczenie bo:

Po pierwsze: to opinie samych użytkowników e/OS, zamiast, jak to nazywają „atak użytkowników GrapheneOS"

To forum ujawnia: oczekiwania użytkowników vs brutalna rzeczywistość.
Pokazuje złamanie obietnic fundacji Murena, to, nie była pojedyńcza wpadka, naprawiony szybko błąd. Nie, to był proceder, to było tak z a p r o j e k t o w a n e.

Dla lepszego, szerszego zrozumienia przypomne historię Proton Mail. Firma kiedyś ujawniła adresy IP swoich użytkowników.

W październiku 2021 roku ProtonMail ujawnił adres IP aktywistów. Po incydencie ProtonMail zaktualizował swoją politykę prywatności, aby wyjaśnić, że nie przechowuje domyślnie logów IP, ale musi przestrzegać szwajcarskiego prawa i może zostać zmuszony do gromadzenia i udostępniania adresów IP, jeśli użytkownik jest podejrzewany o złamanie szwajcarskiego prawa.

To wywołało oburzenie, firma która zapewnia prywatność, przekazała informacje o użytkownikach!

Kto był oburzony? Nie tylko użytkownicy GrapheneOS, Ci właściwie byli oburzeni najmnjej! — Myśląc trzeźwo rozumieją że istnieją takie możliwości techniczne, oraz prawne.
Nie, nie popierali tego, natomiast rozumieją mechanizmy które mogą potencjalnie zostać wykorzystane.

Do dziś dzień ludzie wypominają Protonowi, że ujawniał numery IP. A, to dawna sprawa jest! Chłopie, to jest z 2021 roku, stare! Czemu więc ludzie wypominają, czemu ma to jeszcze dziś znaczenie? I czy ma znaczenie?

Chodzi o fundamenty zaufania
Jeśli jakaś firma zapewnia prywatność, to nie powinna tego robić jedynie jako pustej obietnicy.

Proszę zauważyć że problemów z e/OS jest więcej, nie mówimy tutaj o jednej funkcji i pojedynczym przypadku.

Historia
Co było, a nie jest, nie piszę się w rejestr?
Właśnie po, to są rejestry...

Pokazuje rzetelność projektu, wskazuje czego potencjalnie można się spodziewać.
Analizując projekt na przestrzeni lat widzimy czy oraz jak zawodził, oraz jak naprawiał swoje błędy. 7 lat wyciekania haseł przez MicroG? A jak tam dziś wygląda Munera - menadżer haseł?

Na liście zmian najnowszej aktualizacji jest informacja o:

/e/OS Passwords
Zupełnie nowy wbudowany menedżer haseł: zapisuj, automatycznie generuj i automatycznie wypełniaj hasła w aplikacjach i na stronach internetowych.

Biorąc pod uwagę ich wpadki i czas reakcji, to bym się bał z tego korzystać.

Dodam, informacje o tych aktualizacjach publikują na stronie która korzysta z usług Google i przekazuje Google numer IP odwiedzającego.

Fundacja Murena i manipulacja pojęciami

Głoszą że są degoogled, tymczasem nie do końca (Bartek już Ci to wyjaśniał, ja mogę spróbować jedynie mniej technicznie, tak na chłopski rozum). 👍

e/OS pod płaszczykiem swoich sług, nadal korzysta z usług Google.

Jeszcze nie spotkałem żeby jakiś rzetelny programista rekomendował e/OS.
To co oni robią, to jest marketing. Znaleźli swoją nisze, wybrali sektor rynku do którego kierują swoje produkty, składając przy tym wielkie obietnice.

Całą otoczka marketingowa leży, to jak działa system również leży.

Sam kiedyś używałem LineageOS, inne tak zwane ROMy bazujące na nim.
Instalowałem i testowałem MicroG na LineageOS, okazało się że po instalacji i aktywacji, trzeba się upewnić czy to działa, weryfikować. Później miałem też OmniROM, z domyślnie wbudowanymi MicroG, możesz sprawdzić stronę. Projekt nadal istnieje, mały projekt (nie polecam).
Mają wsparcie przez Telegram, kiedyś szukając informacji dotarłem na grupę MicroG na Telegramie.
Zadałem kilka pytań, odpowiedzi mnie zszokowały. Jedna z nich odnośnie było MicroG Signature Spoofing, było: aktywuj to, otwórz drzwi dla malware. Serio, tak napisali...

Teraz objaśnienie: MicroG Signature Spoofing - Sfałszowanie podpisu, krytyczna funkcja na poziomie systemu, która umożliwia otwartemu frameworkowi microG maskowanie się jako oficjalne Usługi Google Play. To oszustwo jest konieczne, ponieważ aplikacje innych firm sprawdzają, czy usługi, z którymi się komunikują, są podpisane oficjalnymi kluczami Google; bez tego aplikacje odrzucałyby usługi microG.

Głównym zagrożeniem jest to, że fałszowanie podpisów osłabia model bezpieczeństwa pakietów Androida, umożliwiając aplikacjom omijanie weryfikacji podpisów.

Wtedy zacząłem szukać dalej, to właśnie część mojej historii poszukiwań które prowadzą od lat. Kiedyś nie używałem GrapheneOS, oraz nie chciałem, ze względu na negatywną opinię, oraz fakt dostępności jedynie na Google Pixel. Natomiast szukając zacząłem słuchać, co druga stroana ma do powiedzenia. I tak oto jesteśmy tutaj.

Moje pytanie końcowe, zawarte we wstępie. Po ostatniej aktualizacji: opcja wysyłania głosu do OpenAI, jest domyślnie aktywna w ukrytych ustawieniach, czy domyślnie przetwarza głos wyłącznie na urządzeniu?

☝️ Czy rozumiesz to pytanie?

I’ve been working on a native KDE client based on #Carburetor, and I’m happy to announce its release under the name #Karburetor.

The goal of this project is to provide a better Tor experience for KDE Plasma users with a client that fits naturally into the KDE ecosystem, without GNOME dependencies and with a focus on a more native, simple, and integrated experience.

In this release, several parts of Carburetor have been redesigned so Karburetor can run independently from GNOME. The settings, proxy management, and user interface have been adapted to better match KDE standards.

Karburetor now uses native KDE settings and integrates more smoothly with Plasma services. Proxy handling has also been improved, allowing Plasma and KDE applications to directly use the Tor connection.

New features include active Bridge detection, improved support for different Tor transports, and a more extensible architecture for future improvements.

GitHub:
https://github.com/kdefarsi/karburetor

P.S. Due to network limitations in Iran, Codeberg being censored, and GitLab being sanctioned, unfortunately the sources are temporarily hosted on Microsoft GitHub for now.

I may move the project to KDE Invent in the future if possible, after it becomes more stable.

• e/OS - przesyłanie głosu użytkowników na serwery OpenAI

@chlopmarcin „Obecnie rozpoznawanie głosu w systemie /e/ odbywa się w całości bez połączenia internetu."

💫 Hura ! Mamy to!

Po aktualizacji z 19 lipca - /e/OS 4.1.1

💡 Analizując warunki usług Murena, powstaje pytanie, czy to: domyślnie działa wyłącznie lokalnie, czy może działać lokalnie?

WARUNKI USŁUGI - Murena Workspace

Murena Voice to Text

Murena Voice to Text jest dostępne dla użytkowników Murena Workspace Premium korzystających z /e/OS. Funkcja Voice to Text w aplikacji Murena korzysta z zewnętrznego interfejsu API automatycznego rozpoznawania mowy (ASR) dostarczonego przez OpenAI. Aby zapewnić prywatność i bezpieczeństwo naszych użytkowników, wdrożyliśmy system proxy, który anonimizuje dane użytkowników przed ich przetworzeniem przez API ASR. Oznacza to, że podczas gdy dane głosowe są wysyłane do OpenAI w celu transkrypcji, są one najpierw anonimizowane przez nasz serwer proxy, aby chronić Twoją tożsamość. Jedyne dane, które trafiają do OpenAI, to zanonimizowany materiał dźwiękowy niezbędny do procesu transkrypcji. Ponadto ta funkcja rozpoznawania mowy jest aktywna tylko wtedy, gdy została wyraźnie aktywowana przez użytkownika za pomocą klawisza rozpoznawania mowy na klawiaturze. Zobowiązujemy się do zachowania poufności informacji i przestrzegania surowych protokołów ochrony danych w celu ochrony prywatności.

Na oficjalnym forum e Foundation,
użytkownicy kiedyś pisali:

„Szkoda, że eOS korzysta z takiej usługi, podczas gdy Murena promowała swoje usługi jako "prywatne, zrównoważone i w pełni otwarte źródło". OpenAI nie szanuje prywatności użytkowników, wykorzystuje ludzi i zasoby naturalne w sposób niezrównoważony i oczywiście nie jest open-source.
Zwłaszcza, że przekształcenie głosu w tekst może być wykonane lokalnie z efektywną aplikacją opensource, taką jak ta (używa modeli OpenAI, ale na telefonie)"

===

„rzeczywistość — otwarty, bezpieczny, od-googlowany system nie jest ani otwarty, ani bezpieczny, ani od-googlowany!? To tylko nowy anøm podszywający się pod open source. Nie byłbym zaskoczony, gdyby węzły Tor w Advanced Privacy były kierowane przez serwery kontrolowane przez Murena. Coraz mniej ufam systemowi operacyjnemu /e/ Foundation i firmie Murena"

Powerful Hardware Turned into E-Waste

What you're looking at is another unfortunate example of perfectly capable hardware becoming electronic waste long before its technical lifespan is over.

This is the AirTies Air 4960, an AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 mesh extender/access point featuring impressive hardware:

* Broadcom BCM6752 triple-core ARM Cortex-A7 SoC (up to 1.5 GHz)
* Broadcom BCM43684 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radio with 160 MHz channel support
* Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
* Two Gigabit Ethernet ports
* Around 4.5 W power consumption

From a technical perspective, this device is still more than capable of delivering excellent performance in many home and enterprise networking scenarios.

- The Real Issue

The hardware isn't obsolete, the software ecosystem is intentionally locked down.

Many devices like this are heavily restricted by manufacturers or Internet Service Providers (ISPs), preventing owners from repurposing them once official support ends or the service contract expires.

Meanwhile, open-source firmware projects such as OpenWrt, DD-WRT and Tomato have demonstrated for years that networking hardware can remain secure, functional, and useful far beyond its commercial lifecycle.

Unfortunately, locked bootloaders, proprietary firmware, missing documentation, and closed-source drivers often make that impossible.

Sustainability Is Also About Software Freedom

We regularly discuss sustainability, circular economy, and reducing electronic waste.

Yet perfectly functional networking equipment ends up in recycling bins, not because the hardware has failed, but because users are prevented from installing alternative software.

* The hardware already exists.
* The raw materials have already been mined.
* The manufacturing energy has already been spent.

In many cases, all that's missing is the freedom to install an alternative operating system.

- A Better Approach

I would like to see manufacturers embrace a more open ecosystem by providing:

* Unlockable bootloaders
* Public hardware documentation
* Support or at least tolerance for open-source firmware
* Longer software support lifecycles

This would benefit users, enterprises, developers, the open-source community, and ultimately the environment.

Not every retired device is obsolete, many are simply made obsolete through artificial restrictions.
