That what apple says.
No body can confirm with reviewing iOS source code.

Probably he or she is simplifying the explanation because shared biometrics login doesn’t necessarily indicate that biometrics is stored locally.
But it’s true that no cloud nor third party involved in storing biometrics information.

Or maybe better if op could spend 5 minutes to do their research before posting inaccurate claims.
- Comment on Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting 6 days ago:
Yeah I agree it was probably a/b testing since I use ublock origin as well so I’m use to this kind of stuff.
But the point I’m trying to make that I didn’t know at that time librewolf would have settings turned on that could break some websites.

It broke youtube for me yesterday and mind you I’m a web developer and I didn’t know what broke it exactly to turn it on/off.
It fixed it self today though.

- Comment on AI Chatbot Cost Exploitation as an Attack Vector 1 week ago:
Probably would create a demand and make their numbers go up.
Sure they lose money at the end of the day but this could delay their ai bubble burst.

Cool idea however, I don’t want to benefit AI companies in the process.

- Comment on Microsoft claims "2026 is the moment" for AI PCs, but its essay-length beginner explanation only creates more confusion — Is it any wonder adoption is slow? 3 weeks ago:
I installed Ubuntu in my surface go 2 and it’s light years ahead of windows in terms of performance.
I couldn’t get the camera to work though. But other than that it’s rock solid.

Not sure to be honest. I couldn’t find a list of instances.

Content volume will increase over time but requiring login killed it for me.
Heck they’re even mimicking tiktok login begging techniques
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Tiktok -> tiktok with less content and login required unless you like the 10 videos we have chosen for you.
- Comment on Loops is Now on the App Store 1 month ago:
You can only watch like 10 videos without an account. And no search.
No thanks!

Top 12h. It gets boring sometimes though.

Too late. I ditched Mircoslop for good.
- Comment on Hotel review sites should include a section where reviewers can share the internet speed 2 months ago:
The review would stay and hurt their reputation.
Also, if the service you use is in the far east and the damaged cable in the far west, the results would deceive you and make you believe the internet connected to your service is good while it’s not.
The best option is to advertise the maximum speed in rush hours from local or nearby server.

They’re making the windows dumper.
I use windows 11 at work and today 2 issues happened within 5 minutes that I’ve never seen before.
First, I took a screenshot with their app snap or whatever it was called and when I saved the file it didn’t write the data 0 kb. Within 5 minutes I tried to copy 3 cells from one excel file to another and an error occurred with the clipboard!! even though it did copy the freaking 3 cells.
I switched to linux 2 weeks ago and I cannot be happier!

The link is no longer working. I just needed a direct link to make the point that’s it. Recent versions have buttons to download with script.

I run Zorin OS 18 on my desktop. I just commented Ubuntu since more people would understand the comments.
Also, for Surface tablets, I believe Ubuntu is the best option for touchscreen support.

- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 months ago:
I used windows since 3.1 up till 11. It’s dogshit after windows 7 even when I use cmd scripts to limit telemetry and customize it because MS with their infinite wisdom decided to revert my customizations to their default dogshit.
Linux is not perfect at all but Id rather dealing with linux issues over greedy executive decisions to cause issues intentionally.

I wish we have a free to use, open source, and privacy respecting search engine that do the crawling and indexing and don’t rely on other search engines.
Maybe we can utilize all selfhosted instances to do the crawling and consolidate it.

- Comment on Reddit to lemmy reposter 2 months ago:
I disagree with you since not all of this naming scheme should be used exclusively with reddit.
Some of us moved away from reddit because of enshitfication but we want the content and having the same names for communities is helpful to find relevant content in lemmy.
