Ok, but the frogs were becoming gay. Not saying Alex Jones is a decent person.

librejoe ,

Wtf.

librejoe ,

And we say goodbye to Firefox. NEXT!

librejoe ,

I don't care. I don't want AI in my browser.

librejoe ,

Who do we turn to for a browser? Not chromium based I don't trust google codebase.

librejoe ,

I think it comes down to what you're willing to sacrifice. If I can do banking that's the hard line for me, so JS at the very least.

librejoe ,

no. why the hell would I use google spyware crap?

librejoe ,

We need this law here in Canada. While they are NOT ATM shutting down copper POTS, they are no longer selling it to consumer's from the main companies. Some smaller ones will offer it, but if there is a problem with the SLAM in your area for DSL, you're told "deal with speeds or switch to copper cable or fiber". They will not replace the SLAMs

librejoe ,

Until fiber or celluar can have the same reliability as copper, then we can switch.

librejoe ,

Let be honest here, a majority of users have their mobile devices backup automatically. They will see this in the same way....

librejoe ,

Same here. I don't have anything important, and my contacts are in a vcf file whenever I need it.

librejoe ,

Lol you're surprised at this? Don't come to Canada, your eyeballs will fall out of your sockets. I would have sent her money to go buy groceries instead.

librejoe ,

It is true though...

librejoe ,

Dew it

librejoe ,

.....what?

  • Ricard Stallman.
librejoe ,

The first problem is that he's a Linux YouTuber. Too mainstream for me.

librejoe ,

Oh no I have to go back to work!

Anyways....

librejoe ,

Microsoft claims it's offline, but how sure can we be? I smell what the rock is cooking.

librejoe ,

Wait for them to find a way that everyone will run out and buy 1k+ laptops now. Disregarding privacy, most people only need Chromebooks nowadays.

librejoe ,

Kirbo will step in with Luigi with a cross.

librejoe ,

Norton OS. It's just full of trials to their software.

librejoe ,

This, they are getting kickbacks from laptop OEMs because people will now need to buy expensive computers again. They were stagnating there for a while finding a way to charge people alot who only need a PC for basic tasks, and now they will be buying a laptop basically the same price as a entry/mid gaming laptop. Now you cannot use price to say "oh windows laptops are cheaper than macs". That's out the door. As I said above though, disregarding privacy, Chromebooks are what most people only need for their day to day tasks, and arm based ones last super long on a single charge.

librejoe ,

If you don't need winapps/battery life start looking into Linux

librejoe ,

Oh lol good. The only issue I have with Linux is laptops and battery life. It's a YMMV situation as some have same or better battery life, while some it's alot worse than windows even with tools like tlp and stuff.

librejoe ,

No more windows for me. I've been back and forth with windows 11 and Linux but been on Linux for awhile. Last windows I used full time was 7

librejoe ,

Bye bye windows

librejoe ,

Yes I'm aware. I've been down that path, and sadly there's no escape no matter what tor this or VPN that you use with a privacy centric app. We can however minimize what is being data mined.

librejoe ,

Yes I can agree there can be positive uses for AI, but I don't really see any transparency from current AI companies to trust them.

librejoe ,

I expect canonical to do it to Ubuntu.

librejoe ,

I'd actually be surprised.

librejoe ,

Mfw when plebs are still using GUI browsers while I use Lynx.

librejoe ,

Pfhh images. Back in my dad we had ASCII art. And we liked it!
