But you still choose the final result...for something like that, the how is really quite irrelevant, it is just the end result that matters and that still remains in the hands of humans as they're the ones to settle on the final solution.

It's impressive technology, and I understand that it's exciting, but it's not art.

I would add that a lot (most?) graphical elements we encounter in daily lives do not require art or soul in the least. Stock images on web pages, logos, icons etc. are examples of graphical elements that are IMO perfectly fine to use AI image generation for. It's the menial labour of the artist profession that is now being affected by modern automation much like so many other professions have been before them. All of them resisted so of course artists resist too.

It sure isn't legally public available either.

I'm not the person who posted the widget issue, but IME many FOSS solutions (not just weather-related) are more often than not aesthetically/UX crap.

You can either buy an app or pay with your data.

No this implies you get a choice, which you don't. You can get it for free and sell your data, or you can pay for it...and still also sell your data. The real money is in the data, they won't give that up...ever.

I have no trust that lifetime is in fact lifetime, and the price is also too high compared to the product value IMO.

There will be the exact same level of surveillance, it's still just run by banks so there's no difference there.

This just sounds like a regular bank transfer to another European bank...input recipient in your self-service online banking and press "transfer"...beep boop done.

What does this "digital" euro do that the existing euro (which is also perfectly working in digital space) solve?

I refuse to support companies with subscription based business models.

"Continue show" often doesn't work and picks an episode that I've watched long ago and not the next in line, often never updating it despite watching several episode over several weeks, even if they're marked as "seen". After pausing a show or movie and closing the app, if I want to continue from where I left off, well that doesn't work consistently either, usually it will just restart from the beginning. Switching language pretty much just doesn't work at all, it will either never change from default audio language, or use an entirely different language than the one picked from the list.
