"considering setting up a De-Googled OS as well, but there are a few things that I cannot compromise on:

• Google Maps"

Sorry but ... is this a joke?

No sabotage required. It's typically poor tool with no strategy behind the so called deployment. AI snake oil salesmen claimed that AI could boost productivity AND be a scapegoat to cull the workforce, shareholders demand both, managers obliged, now the shit show is everywhere with no gains in sight.

Murena who maintained /e/OS sells FairPhones with /e/OS pre-installed so I imagine support for it is good.

I only used /e/OS on a CMF Phone 1 for about a year and liked it. I only moved to Graphene OS as a way to get a small cheaper 2nd hand phone. In my experience it's a good OS and I had no headaches with /e/OS.

OK. I'll just claim French privacy law is better than GDPR then. If you ask I'll just point you to French law. If you tell me that doesn't help I'll call you a troll.

I mean honestly if that's how you interact with people I'd rather just block you, I don't need more noise in my life. Take care.

IMHO LLM usage isn't coherent with independence. That being said I wrote quite a bit on self-hosting LLMs. There are quite a few tools available, like ollama itself relying on llama.cpp that can both work locally and provide an API compatible replacement to cloud services. As you suggested though typically at home one doesn't have the hardware, GPUs with 100+GB of VRAM, to run the state of the art. There is a middle ground though between full cloud, API key, closed source vs open source at home on low-end hardware : running STOA open models on cloud. It can be done on any cloud but it's much easier to start with dedicated hardware and tooling, for that HuggingFace is great but there are multiples.

TL;DR: closed cloud -> models on clouds -> self-hosted provide a better path to independence, including training.

How is asking to justify a position trolling? You are the one who claimed that Danish law is better than GDPR. I didn't claim you lie or that law elsewhere was better, I solely asked for the proof. It's not because I mistrust you, I just want to learn and you saying it is so without an actual comparison is not enough. If you don't want to help that's perfectly OK you can just say so. It's fine to say you prefer Danish product because they are better and refuse to give proof that it's the case. It won't help me nor others though.

It's the Privacy community on Lemmy, I bet others would love to learn too.

AI tools can find bugs faster than they can be patched

Not a security expert but wasn't that the case already? It feels like before AI there were already a lot more bugs, security related or not, on backlogs. That's precisely why there are metrics like severity.

Bought a 2nd-hand Pixel 8 to put GrapheneOS on it, not sure if that counts. Feels old, more ecological, cheaper and more private. Not sure how repairable it is but in theory I can use it for up 7 years so hopefully by the time I need to repair it I wouldn't even want to.

Thanks, skimmed through https://www.recordinglaw.com/world-laws/world-data-privacy-laws/denmark-data-privacy-laws/ but it's quite difficult to do a "diff" between one and the other. From reading it I didn't notice significantly better for my normal usage but I'm not a lawyer. It also makes me wonder, if you have done it, how do you know it's not better than say another random EU country also national specific modifications, e.g. Slovenia? Is there any "benchmark" somewhere that identifies which national changes are better?

Why would anyone who care about privacy not provide a new alternative WITH a benchmark comparing the newcomer to what already exists (e.g. Google Android, GrapheneOS, PostMarketOS, /e/OS, iOS, etc) and 3rd party audit is beyond me.

Which Danish laws go beyond GDPR?
