Also check the agenda 2030. The European digital wallet. The cyberscore.
All those elements together makes a digital Europe (and more) where there's no cash anymore, where your website has to be compliant to be working with EU's ID and payments systems.
It's going to be all centralised and about subscriptions, no matter if it's about your electricity bill or your groceries.
That article says that most image generators had been over-shadowed by gpt.
Yet when I ask some simple tasks to it, like doing a 16:9 picture sized image instead of a square one, it ends up doing a 16:9 on a white background that matches a square.
When I ask it to make it with text, then on the second request to redo while changing just a certain visual element, it ends up breaking the previously asked text.
It's getting more good at flattering people and telling them how clever and right they are than actually doing the task.
I use uBlock Origin's element picker and element blocker features to just make the popup notices disappear, without accepting them.
But that's mostly just a habit of mine that I know is pretty useless, as websites don't need cookies to track you, and I really don't know why they even bother anymore.
Try using the extension "I don't care about cookies"
It's excellent. I have needed to disable it occasionally to make basic site functionality work on some sites that I absolutely need to use, though I'm forgetting which ones.
Don't bother with this extension as it can't delete other storage locations where there is persistant storage. Also Firefox has TCP, Total Cookie Protection so you don't need them anyway.
I'm not sure if Cookie AutoDelete hides or auto-accepts cookie popups, but that was the main motivation for using "I don't care about cookies" -- I don't want to see all these ridiculous cookie notices on every site I visit.
There's still Ricoh. I literally found a big one in the streets that worked perfectly (I suppose the small company that was at this address needed something bigger).
Generic cartridges are just find and you refill them easily.
It might sound stupid, but since I have a smartwatch and only filter the mot important notifications on it (calls, SMS), all other notifications can sit on my phone & wait for hours. Whatever. I still can be reached in an emergency.
I don't event check my phone to get the time, duh, that's a watch !
