- Comment on Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations 4 days ago:
I highly doubt this kind of processing is legal in the EU without both parties consenting.
In Finland recording calls and meetings you participate in is legal, without need to give notice or ask for consent. And necessary, because spoken contracts are as valid as written ones, and you need to be able to prove the existence of such contract.
I haven’t heard of any EU countries where call recording would not be legal. Would be interesting to hear from people who live in EU.

You probably happen to have one of the CSCs that has native call recording enabled.
Everyone else needs to either root their phone or change the CSC somehow.

I played around a bit with hledger, but ultimately did not see a reason to switch from ledger. I don’t remember if I ran into any issues, but at least they are not totally compatible.

You are arguing for selective encryption, but I can’t really find any technical argument in your comment.
Whether we are speaking of encryption at transit or rest, there’s a general consensus that encrypting everything is best in every way except possibly performance for select cases.
For example, it allows hiding (meta)data about the really important bits, and with computers it’s really difficult to tell which bits of (meta)data could be combined to abuse. Tampering is a consideration as well.

I liked reading both of your arguments, and I think they have merit on both sides. I’m sorry to see this became hostile, but I think the discussion up go the parent comment was good. I hope next one will stay friendly!
