   Running Linux, I feel similar about Chromium. Despite needing a backup browser for occasional Firefox issues, I won't touch it. I'm using Midori for this purpose and it quite sucks a bit. I really hope a good alt browser jumps int

   Been using nextdns on both droid and linux and am really grateful for it. Coupled with ublock, I can browse the tubes without having a seizure. I'm so satisfied with it, that I fear someone will come along and prick me happy bubble, ex

   I hate Ghoulgle's keyboard, somewhat passionately when I'm feeling peaceful. I once installed a 3rd party keyboard and was naive enough to disable gboard. I was of course very pleased to find no method of entering my creds upon re

   Definitely not a dumb question. It's a really good question that I rhetorically ask myself every time I start one. And I'm glad there have been some good answers to your question here. Though for me, it will never be answered , be

   Minor objection... I have and continue to use my hammer, which is none but an Estwing, for demolition work. Often there are no nails directly involved and when there are, I use a prybar. I have also used it to open beers, 'fix' co

   For me, privacy is a way, or tao. It's how I carry myself, internally, externally. And I know much of my effort is ineffective. I know I'm oozing identifiers and unique signatures everywhere. But to me it's similar to posture

   I'm happy to see someone 'gets it' and know my comment was low grade. I am also irritated to see this subject with the "nothing to hide" theme anywhere it arises. It's a groundhog day nightmare subject where ev

   Here's a reply to a prompt instructing the mutant to examine its behavior. Note that the term "gaslight" was not used in the session and that it accurately selected the term itself based on my brief explanation of its obstina

   It's soothing relief to find evidence suggesting the readership here is not entirely the unwavering legion of consummate humorless borgs so fervently conveyed. That there might be an organic human among them hints at mercy within the

    Those sweet days are long past. Only weathered cynicism and chronic fatigue prevails. Occasionally, to amuse myself, I'll read the records I've preserved. I have, largely due to boredom and OCD, large texts, PDFs and saved session

    Not anti Kagi, but.. Imagine Tom Cruise in a variation of Minority Report. As he enters the shopping mall, the onslaught of cognitive infiltration envelopes him. He's not there for recreation, nor to evade or investigate anything. He k

    Would you please describe the basics of this process? I am interested in doing this and my hardware is similarly limited. No dedicated GPU, but 24g ram and solid CPU.

    I haven't pursued this yet, but having a tendency to listen to music without lyrics, and being generally fastidious, I'm interested in doing so. But I'd only do so if able to tailor the music toward my preferences. I think th

    Yeah, and touchpad behavior in Linux can be configured to a satisfactory degree, but with admittedly excessive fenagling. Modifying dozens of different parameters in a command line interface to get full functionality is silly. The default s

    I've never used anything but Linux on the 20 or so laptops I've gone through. Suspend can be an issue, fan control can be suboptimal, but the only thing I find intolerable is the touchpad, so I use a mouse. I've had one or tw

    Thanks for the intel man. I might have not known without your help. And I'm sure you wouldn't insincerely leap on an overly literal interpretation just to leave a silly comment. But yeah, you cracked a tough one there. Two separat

    I posted a question recently, not directly for deepseek, but for perplexity, which seemed to be behaving in a way that suggested keyboard biometrics. There's a lot to be concerned about here, but I haven't seen the subject discuss

    For me, it's primarily its scope. I had a system for 10 years that changed, but fundamentally worked the same. With systemd, the changes exceeded my threshold and continue to expand into something that to me, seems ugly. I'm not a

    Not to say that it's always the case, but research isn't always at face value - i.e., sometimes there's circularity, economical or political dynamics, etc, that perpetuate dead ends while neglecting more viable avenues. An ex

    Don't take this as a touche, but are you suggesting that full compliance is the rule and that the vast majority completes the course as prescribed? Again, this isn't some passive aggressive challenge. But I will be genuinely surpr

    I'm not going to devote the time required to search, retrieve and cite extent material. But you will find results if you do, but probably no panacea. Also, I deliberately don't mention specifics in this instance (and many others)

    Amazing ain't it? And the use of the word is found in medical literature too! Reflect for a moment on whether such a comment serves any positive purpose.

    I admit I slipped into the octogon of HN where animals weak and strong come to test their teeth on impulse. Therefore I must be prepared to write essays on semantics even when I use subtle indicators such as quotes. For the first portion of

    Perspective is strange. I suspect we're not far from a time when a show such as the Brady Bunch will be as bizarre to the modern mind as the most severe Twilight Zone episode was in its time.
