I mean… it’s hilarious that people still use Chrome when it has been a known back actor for years and years. Firefox is an excellent option and the more people that use it, the more it encourages companies to keep supporting open web standards.
Likewise, if you set an iPhone to use Advanced Data Protection, it’s probably quite a bit more secure from intrusion than a similar Android phone. (And definitely more secure from subpoena.)
Thank you. Glad to know I am not the only one that got triggered, lol.
You assume I was for the 20 year genocidal war? Why? IMHO it was a huge fucking mistake too.
I’d have ever so much more sympathy if they hadn’t just spent over a year genociding Palestine…
I mean I’ve been using DuoLingo for like a decade (only paid the last 2 years) and it’s been very useful until now.
I’ll be looking for a new Spanish app when my subscription expires next year now, alas.
What I don’t get is why anyone would ever choose commercial social media again given there are Activity Pub clones for practically everything now, where you aren’t the product. So many people learned nothing from the ongoing Twitter debacle and the zillion Facebook privacy scandals apparently.
Being able to launch it locally if you can’t save open or locally seems extremely pointless.
This reminds me of the old how to shoot yourself in the foot joke for unix, except in this case…

I wonder if you can run it off any USB C PD that will do 100w+ without buying the battery pack. I know my MBP USB C power supply does at least 100, if not more on MagSafe.
Yeah, it’s a pretty frustrating time to be leaning left. And given the chaos Trump would unleash, it’s not like there is any choice at all about whether or not to vote for Biden… 😿
Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run. Just… the choices in this election cycle are wanna-be, half-demented dictator-for-life vs a “moderate” Democrat who, while he’s gotten a surprising amount done, isn’t exactly renowned for pushing the corporations hard on climate change.
Why the hell can’t we have candidates this awesome on the ballot here in the US?! 😿
Yeah, but that’s unavoidable. Whereas, Tesla and Waymo, etc getting to use our roads for self-driving testing is just our government not doing their job to protect the roads adequately, IMHO. This is veering way off topic, but I just recently watched a video that had stats on Teslas and the fact they’re like 8.2x more likely to be in a crash than a standard level 2 car driving system.
Honestly, a search engine companion is probably its least offensive case, you’re correct. Mostly, it makes me so mad because they are polluting our entire collected knowledge base, because there is no way to watermark anything as AI-generated (especially when it’s text, not images) which means that every search you make from here on out returns worse results. It’s like being forced to share the road with self-driving Teslas because the self-driving car companies (especially Tesla) have made us all involuntarily part of their beta test.
The “screw everyone else trying to use the same public resource” mentality is out of control.
There is no such thing as a good AI engine… all I really want from any AI engine is the ability to watermark everything it outputs as generated by an AI so it can later be filtered out when it’s discovered to be inaccurate or just simply plagiaristic.
I would fucking rather pay not to have AI in my browser, FFS…
I mean this is all basically just more media clickbait on the theme of “how is this bad for Biden”.
“Biden called old while being exonerated of classified document prosecution! How is this bad for him?”
Probably about 1 year’s worth of dial-up per month of Starlink, if not more…
