The user wants to sync personal Git repos between devices without relying on cloud services. They've found a simple solution by using a bare Git repository on an external drive or SSH-accessible location, and syncing with devices using Git's push and pull commands.
Companies building AI assistants are now funded by advertising, creating a collision course with always-on devices that see and hear everything. Local on-device inference is the only way to prevent data exploitation, requiring a business model based on hardware and software sales, not data collection.
OAuth was designed to allow users to grant access to their accounts without sharing passwords, driven by the need for Twitter to support OpenID in 2006.
