Agreed, but I felt compelled to mention the filthy source 😅

All true, I’m pretty much saying all are pretty bad. To quote a post from Reddit:

“Reasons to stop supporting Mozilla:

While Mozilla laid off 250 employees then gave their Execs got a colossal salary raise

Delving into politics

Their last major innovation is piggybacking on Mullvad to make a VPN UI which mandates a Mozilla account, so basically a shittier non-anonymous version of Mullvad. (Full disclosure I think Mullvad is pretty damn good, just Mozilla’s spin on it is garbage). Even Firefox relay is a complete cashgrab compared to its independent alternatives like anonaddy.

Mozilla doesn’t deserve your donations nor your usage. They are paid off by Google to make their grubby search engine the default. They don’t need your money.

The Mozilla we knew is not the one we have anymore”

I’d like a more independant way to browse the web, a browser has become as important as my OS and I want to see a Linux of browsers!

Problem is Mozilla leaders aint much better. I use both roughly equally. Still waiting for other browsers to take off.

Seconded.

Same reason. Such huge amounts of downvotes every time I mention Brave. I get it, the CEO is dick. Most are.

Frontendwise; Librechat is pretty cool.

Choose OS is very relevant when doing cloud stuff.

Why is insert any thing so complicated in Windows compared to GNU + Linux?

I found it a bit strange that their “Follow us” section didn’t have a Fediverse link. I expected a Mastadon user or something.

As much as I dislike Google I feel you really made a decent suggestion here.

I’ve been using Brave search for a while as a daily driver. It’s usually pretty decent, but I fall back to google when looking for commercial stuff like local stores and products.

Geforce Now on my thinkpad is what makes modern games work.

Likewise! It’s been 8 years without nicotine and 2 years sober here.

Here’s a good one about the monkey on your back: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rUvzx73-cCY&pp=ygUSc3R5Z2dlbiBww6UgcnlnZ2Vu

But you gotts understand norwegian: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/styggen-på-ryggen-bastard-my-back.html

Haven’t kicked them. Stopped using nicotine and alcohol but man is the addiction still there. 🥲

I thought this book was pretty good at reasoning trough some scenarios;

Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Max Tegmark

Yeah I wasn’t really thinking about obfuscating that he was using a VPN. Just assumed this was not breaking rules, and only thinking about getting around the blocks and having a working VPN.

You can sign up for an AWS account, set up an EC2 instance (a free type, you get one free year) and pull an wireguard image on docker there and connect to that? Unless they are whitelisting IPs I’d imagine this would work.

You can also replace AWS with an external computer of your choice…

I’ve just accepted the tons of Brave downvotes at this point. At least 80% of it’s profit doesn’t come from having Google as the default search engine 🙂

Weirdly enough I’ve found it much easier to print on linux. It just works out of the box.

If it doesn’t it is definetly the printers manufacturer fault 😅
