Firefox and its derivatives are the only browsers that challenge Google’s monopoly on browser engines and prevent them from making unilateral changes to all web browsers based on them, including Vivaldi. DuckDuckGo is a good search engine though.
Does piped work again now?
LLMs are a form of artificial intelligence. And yes, they are useful and good. So are many other forms of AI. It’s only really bad, same as other technologies, when it’s propriety censored and centrally controlled by one company.
I only know about it from Hermitcraft.
Is that just a model, or is there actually a display in the middle that does something?
Try Heliboard! It allows you to customise that
I once said to someone after they gave me advice that my computer is ‘worming now’
Stop promoting these proprietary platforms, I want to run FOSS models on my own device, not pay money to some company who’s severs could go down at any time, along with the information of how to create that content.
Tell me about the FOSS models I can run on my own device, not some proprietary platform that hides their models for profit.
I just realised I have 3. 9K comments in just one year.
Yeah, but try an uncensored LLM like Mixtral 8x7B Instruct. With the right preprompt it can be quite helpful
When they said Android I assumed they meant degoogled or a custom ROM, but it’s good to point that out I suppose.
You should get a Fairphone and use a degoogled custom ROM. If you really want to get away from Google at the expense of some functionality, you can try a Linux ROM, but I’d recommend one based on Android such as Lineage OS. The benefits are mostly freedom adjacent. You have the freedom to run any app you want, whether it’s from the app store or not. You have the freedom to use any browser engine you like, and download extensions to Firefox. You have the freedom to root your device and make simple full backups of your device to any local storage that you own by accessing the root storage folder. You have the freedom to use apps like Rethink DNS to block ads device-wide, and there are generally a lot more FOSS apps written for Android than iOS as you don’t have to jump through all the hoops of the app store to make your apps available for others.
I use Krita for raster, but Inkscape is the best for vector
I tried what I said, reinstalling to see if it still had internet. It did not. Therefore I went into a rabbithole of trying to rule out specific things of why it was working then but not now, and I still have no idea why it was working then, but I have plugged the Ethernet powerline into a new, more inconvenient, plug socket, and the wired internet is mostly working! I can still access most sites, but Firefox won’t connect to addons.mozilla.com or accounts.firefox.com. Idk if that’s a Firefox issues or a network issue, but it’s mostly working now, which is great!
This doesn’t seem to be a problem in the UK. I’ve been pirating for years and never even received a letter from my ISP.
Fairphone 5 isn’t old. It’s a fairly recent, midrange phone
Linux phones do exist, I was saying that you could use Waydroid on those devices (although you can also use it on Linux Desktop), such as postmarketOS on eg a Fairphone 5.
You can already, Waydroid exists
Fair enough. GNOME Web is the only cross platform non Blink or Gecko browser, and like you say it has flaws compared to those two, such as lack of extension support.
