Your tl;dr appears to be missing some important data. You can have an opinion but please don’t represent it as an accurate summary.

Things you crucially missed:

• Less open than every other service available
• Bills itself as the most open
• Server side source code is MIA
• No model card available. Evaluations, risks, biases, guardrails and safety measures unclear.

Can you be more specific?

Just get a bigger screen. But you can’t buy bigger screens these days except as smart TVs or monitors… And those smart screens can detect when you aren’t interacting with them and display ads…

FWIW Ente just added photo editing

Can you elaborate on buying monero at an exchange and then transferring it out? Do you mean that OP should

1. make a local wallet
2. make an account on a popular exchange
3. buy cryptocurrency on the exchange
4. transfer it to their local wallet

And would it be accurate to say that a local wallet can be maintained without a lot of system power, and can run on open source software? I assume that because any transfers that are sent to or from the wallet, are basically synchronized in the Blockchain, so there’s not a lot of data that needs to be stored on the user’s side.

To be fair, the article itself recommends it.
