Having a big economy who's inhabitants never have to invest time into learn another language is a huge advantage for this economy. It's not a level playing field. Today there is no reason to still support English. In Europe we should use Esperanto or another easy to learn equivalent.

Could you break this down in how that works?

Yes, for a reason. You have to register with a name and an address to obtain/buy a custom domain at a third party. Your identity could be traced back via this. This is against their very strict and consistent 'zero knowledge' policy.

Posteo

Use Posteo, amazing company and business model

disroot, Holymoly they run this all on this budget??

OK I think I will move to Posteo. Great security, privacy focussed, servers in Germany, running with 100% renewable energy. Prices are ok, too. Ticks all boxes.

Thanks!

Yes you are right, and no you are not. It is concerning and something to stay vigilent about in the upcoming times.

Great, thanks for this background!

Thank you!

Thank you. As far as I can see these models are for free. Doing data mining on users would be a tempting thing, right? Ollama does not specify this on their homepage, no payed plans, no 'free for private use' etc. How do they pay their staff and electricity and harware bills for model training? Do you know anything on the underlying business models?
