I’m not mad that Mozilla decided to create a chatbot - especially since it’s an optional add-on.
But it doesn’t at all seem clear what the difference is between this and the countless other LLMs that are already available. I think they would have been better served working on other product features instead.
I really like your phrasing of privacy as the choice of whether or not to share information about yourself, and I think this influences my stance on the expectation of privacy. Just because I’m going to the store for groceries, for example, doesn’t mean I would want a camera pointed in my face during the whole experience.
Tried it a few months ago! I’ll never complain about alternative software, but it currently has only the basics. Until its further developed, I wouldn’t be comfortable recommending this over LibreOffice to anyone.
Currently running Pop on my Framework with the Cosmic DE. Pop was rock solid before. Alpha software brings in bugs of course, but it is still surprisingly stable.
Although federated social media has the “chicken or egg” problem with content and attracting users, I’m content with places like Lemmy and Mastodon staying the small size they are right now for a little longer.
Sure, I definitely miss content from other platforms from time to time. But I think your comment about businesses and celebrities rings true. I’m happy to be clear of the grifters and influencers for as long as possible.
Post in communities that align with your interests. Post in communities for your geographic area, if you’re comfortable with that. Comment on posts you see, if you think you can add something of value to the conversation.
I really enjoyed Doom 3. Has more of a horror vibe compared to the hack and slash nature of the rest of the series, but I feel its very enjoyable and doesn’t feel as old as it is.
On Eternity for Lemmy, its super easy.
After the election. I decided I just needed to take a break from the constant stream of negativity. Using these keywords in my post filter has removed political posts almost completely:
Trump, Kamala, Vance, Walz, Biden, Harris, Donald, Republican, Republicans, Democrat, Democrats, GOP, DNC, MAGA, liberal, conservative, government, court, Military, NATO, Nazi, Election, genocide, fascist, fascism, Twitter, trans, gender, police, cop, cops, abortion, federal, Europe, U.S., American, China, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Russia, Russian, Chinese, Ukraine, Cruz, Thomas,
I recognize my privilege of being able to ignore these posts temporarily, and hope to come back from my hiatus with the will to do something about our awful political situation.
Stellaris isn’t awful on deck, but it would be nice to have the console controller layout that ships with the XBox edition.
I love this idea, I’m going to start practicing it myself.
I can’t think of any phone that is Private out of the box. Your best bet is to flash a custom ROM like Graphene or Calyx.
Everyone knows you need to pay for YouTube Premium-Pro-Plus if you don’t want to see ads. Only 69.99 per month week.
My wife had never seen Breaking Bad, so I’m introducing her to one of the best TV shows of all time.
I ran into the same issue you did. No verification email, and my login credentials won’t work on the app or on the website.
Carl Richell (System76 CEO) mentioned at the Ubuntu Summit that they’re expecting a Beta in January or February.
Wars are won by killing the enemy and breaking their stuff. By capturing and controlling land, means of production, supply and transport lines, and so on, you impose your will on your enemy and remove the capability for them to do the same to you.
Drones will be used to destroy enemy assets, take out ground troops, and maintain control of of the above mentioned resources. You’ll never just have one drone army meet another on an open field, that’s not even how human soldiers fight anymore.
I’m hoping to start. Although I still don’t really post, I comment way more on Lemmy/Mastodon than when I used Reddit, because I want the platforms to grow.
Mark Zuckerburg was up there at the inauguration because he is one of the richest men alive, and he became so mostly because of the platforms he owns.
By using the Fediverse and not his platforms, I’m denying him revenue from ads and data, even if its an infinitely small amount.
Use open platforms, give your money to ethical businesses and keep it from these assholes. Money isn’t the only way for someone to have power, but there’s no denying that the net worth on that inauguration stage was the most concentrated anywhere on earth. Don’t give them a cent more.
