Your best sarcastic self is prime Microsoft material.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could have AI on the desktop clock so you could ask it what time it was in different places in the world?

In a way, don’t you think it’s weird that Google is funding Mozilla (and by your logic basically endorsing it) and yet you’re not using it?

In what way? I don’t understand this. I want to be as far away from Google as I reasonably can without cutting my nose off to spite their face.

This reflexive chromium bad mentality really blinds people to what Vivaldi is doing. You don’t seem to understand for example the manifest 2 changes have not affected Vivaldi and that they have pledged to prevent that for as long as they can. My u block works just as well as yours but my websites load faster and I have a development team that is anti AI not trying to shove slop at every upgrade.

My 1st goal is to have a good browser experience without Ai crap and have my privacy reasonably respected. Read up on Vivaldi if you question whether their goals align with these.

My second goal is to save the world, but I’m not going to use a crud AI browser like Firefox (which btw is funded by Google anyway) so I can feel superior.

Super pleased with Vivaldi

Click bait headline! This is exactly what I was hoping to read.

Wow, reading the blurb underneath the photo was just a string of buzzwords with no clear meaning. The real motives here are almost certainly sinister. Nigeria is no stranger to foreign tax abuse and this sounds like just a more creative strategy to achieve age old goals of control and profit

At this point I think everyone should be concerned. Use encrypted communication as much as possible. I find it really helpful to have my communications saved, so I’m not going to live with the degree of sacrifice needed to be a ghost. I have prey setup for remote wipes and have practiced rapid factory reset wipes locally.

Erasing one’s phone if you had a warrant for search is exactly what I would advise someone to do. Take your chances the evidence destroying charge over handing over what they might use against you unknowingly. For all I know my stash of articles on the efficacy of vaccines could be deemed contraband in this day and age or perhaps my trans cake fart video library now violates a state law with each video bearing a one year prison sentence. There’s a term for anyone that trusts the US legal system is going to treat them justly and that’s “damn fool”

I’m having a tough time thinking of an example where this makes sense. I guess if there was one incriminating document they had evidence was on your phone and then you wiped it you’d be interfering with the investigation under the assumption there could be more? If they knew a out the one then they would have a copy of it and some proof you have it on your phone. You wiping it doesn’t help you much for that particular crime. If it’s a crime to delete the stuff they didn’t know you had, that sounds ripe for abuse. They could find something banal like a miscompleted tax form and use it to do a deep dive into someone’s entire document library, browser hx, etc. Perhaps I’m on the wrong side of the law on this one, but it seems like the law should favor a right to avoid self-incrimination and a right to protection from unjust violations of privacy. Anyway, while it looks suspicious, couldn’t it just be an accidental data wipe? Cops making accusations against someone could make them nervous, maybe make typing finger shaky and inaccurate. Maybe they could mis-enter their password 10 times in a row and trigger a wipe?

So Graphene doesn’t support screen time? What’s the security concern there? This sort of unexpected sacrifices is why I remain hesitant to try Graphene despite overall liking the idea of it. I feel like each week there would be some basic thing that used to be simple to do and that Graphene would make it complicated.

Or it could downend power tech. 6-7

Nah, it’s ok. I’m American.

You are overestimating the intelligence of the American populous.

Why is my institution blocking malwarebytes??

TbF I feel like you cited one of the few instances where opt out is actually a very good thing.

This headline makes it sound like someone has doubts about Musk’s pee drinking skills. That seems a little judgemental. Pretty sure Grok knows his master well.

Why does it have boobs though? Is that like extra space For batteries? Why not a bellybutton if we are Going for realism?

I’d buy one if it would help fight off ice agents.

Try a different instance. Might be nice to be off something related to cloudflare anyway.
