Banks often have high fees for investing/stock related actions.

Depending on what European country you are in you could also have a look at brokers/online banks, these usually have more sane fees.

In central Europe flatex would be an example of such a broker. Though I am not sure in which countries these are available.

Only if your work is so important they can't afford to let it go undone.

If a company has to cut costs they cut the positions they can do without, and in those positions consultants are cut out first.

Of course if you aren't easily replaceable or they actually need you then they won't cut you, but even then, if it really comes down to it consultants get cut before employees that are equally as important.

Assuming the fediverse becomes popular enough there will no doubt be large websites that finance themselves with ads/subscriptions.

After all git is a decentralized system as well and big silos like GitHub exist.

Copyright isn't eternal. Stuff from "a hundred years ago" is no longer protected.

> Now, I completely agree with the licensing issue when it comes to github's copilot. It used public code to train, and therefor any work that is produced through it should be public as well. It's a different issue.

Artwork can be very much licensed the same way that code can. If I train my AI on Creative Commons Share Alike or None Commercial licenses then why should that be any different?

And if we honour one sort of licensing, the copyleft side, why should we treat the other side, the copyright differently?

Either AI is allowed to ignore copyright and licenses for everything or it's not, copy or painting, it makes no difference.

At that point we would be almost going full circle back to terminals and mainframes.

Then someone will figure out most users don't need much processing power (only emails, word, etc.) and back to centralized computing we go!

In my opinion you should think of WebAuthn as the first factor. If you want additional second factors (of whatever nature they may be) you can still add these of course.

Think of it like logging in using a SSH-key.

Thanks, I was thinking of it this way as well... for SSH keys I us a second factor as a hardware device but I can also use a hardware key for WebAuthn so that is where i was thinking maybe it's a 2nd factor... but for the web, I think it makes sense as a alternative to the password.

Till now I kep't signal around despite the fact that I wasn't really getting that many messages on the app.

Now I am faced with a decision: * Do I keep signal around, for that one to two messages a month I receive? * Or do I get rid of it, forcing my contacts back on Whatsapp/regular SMS?

To be perfectly honest, I am thinking about just gettting rid of it. No need to keep yet another communication channel around when I can't get rid of the other ones anyways. :(

It's not, they can take you to court or take other measures against you if they care enough. At least in the EU (where this advice was aimed at).

Just a quick note: It works on none widescreen desktop browsers as well if you zoom out far enough. Or at least it does on my 14" with FF 106
