A screen is always a significantly worse experience than physical programmable buttons sadly

Excuse me if I am doubtful lol.

Nearly every country requires an ID. 80% of Europe or so, nearly all of Asia including China and India, all but 1 country in Africa, Australia, many/most countries in the Americas.

It is going to end up like seatbelts and surveillance in America. Tons of complaining and bitching and grand threats, but everyone immediately capitulating and putting up no resistance. That is just how humans are I think and this is a lot less of a deal than other surveillance being done daily (as long as encrypted messaging stands) since you are completely fingerprinted on your phone anyway and your identity is widely tied to your browsers and apps and google/apple accounts.

I run Handy with Parakeet for speech to text, and home assistant with Whiper for the same. Whisper+ on my phone.

I think that counts. But I have more relevant and useful things to do on my hardware and no 2000€+ to get LLM-capable hardware 😂

Would spamming low effort comments to fill a quota then fall under the spam bit, not necessarily self promotion bit? It would be quite obvious and from what was written in the post, moderators have more hand-wavy freedom to decide what is spam.

I have no dog in this fight either since all of my projects are open hardware so nobody cares anyway because it would cost money to build it and test it out 😂
