That’s not the flex you think it is.

Your preoccupation with image here hurts you more than it helps you.

I recommend https://simplex.chat/

I wouldn’t trust windows to follow their don’t screenshot API, whether out of ignorance or malice.

No, people who want something approaching chatgpt but local want to run at least deepseek V3 32B.

Qwen at least fares much worse for my usage as do deepseek V3 under 32B.

Sadly I found out yesterday:

Matrix is not a community-based software, it was born [00] in Amdocs [01], a multinational corporation founded in Israel.

Many were claiming its impossible to get contributions merged as well.

I would be happy to find out this information is wrong or outdated.

You can’t export your MFA? Aegis for example allows this.

You use Simplex over Signal for improved privacy and no identifiers, not Matrix.

Signal is still very good though.

Google play services betrays you.

Use https://grapheneos.org/ and it sandboxes Google play for you, but ironically requires a Google Pixel phone.

You can change the color.

Chrome still uses WebKit.

The last time I looked at performance and energy benchmarks Firefox was winning.

I agree.

Imagine a world where Chrome doesn’t exist and instead Firefox + privacy preserving attribution is the default for all of the people who won’t listen to your reasons why they shouldn’t use chrome or say “I don’t need privacy, I have nothing to hide”.

It seems like Mozilla is trying to do the browser equivalent of shifting the overton window and I’m for that.

However I’ll be monitoring them very very closely.

People who don’t understand what an OS is typically use linux mint fine because they just open chrome or Firefox.

YouTube shorts recommendations suck.

A counterpoint to this is that Nix without flakes is unusable to some, even if its just because of the better CLI interface.
