  Don’t mind about the AI addition. The worse thing for me is that it doesn’t seem to support custom OpenAI compatible endpoints nor Ollama. Wtf?! This should be the norm for the more privacy conscious community

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just the Browser: tools to remove AI and other bloatware from Chrome, Edge and Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The defaults are bad and some options are either: fully protect fingerprinting OR no protection at all

  I see, sad stuff

  Hopefully Graphene gets custom UIs one day

  Sadly, I can’t. It’s not a legally shared account, and part of a specific legislation in my country (France). Basically, it’s tied to an account that can be used exclusively to purchase food at half the price during work days

  When it’s more convenient (ex: I’m already outside), I buy food for my family using their card and bring it back to them on my way home

  Not worried about security, it’s more that I can’t have two of the same card at the same time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android won't kill sideloading after all, but new verification rules will make it harder⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I share a card with a family member. They have the physical one as it belongs to them, I use it on my phone

  Would use something else if I had the choice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android won't kill sideloading after all, but new verification rules will make it harder⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Most banks don’t allow payment through their apps anymore

  This also doesn’t work for shared cards under one person’s name, which is my main use for this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it not possible to have a launcher that modifies the menu that appears when you slide down from the top of the screen (brightness and notifications menu…)?

  I would really like a separate menu for quickly changing brightness and volume

  The person saying I’m a piece of shit while saying they aren’t… wow, we’re on a high level here

  You’re not helping your cause, just still convincing me that you have one of the worst instances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bounce⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  She’s the admin of blahaj.zone

  blahaj.zone might be the 3rd most censored instance after the tankie ones (lemmy.ml and lemmygrad)

  Ada is pretty hypocritical and has lots of double standards. Also, a power tripping lunatic who thinks everyone is transphobic if they’re not 100% involved in the cause. Full of authority arguments…

  Now who are the real idiots? The ones that are stuck in the past, refusing to understand change and being infuriated because a language is being used slightly differently, or the younger ones that are adapting the language and updating it with new speech patterns to better match what they want to express?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being Trans Isn't Normal or Part of Nature...or is it...?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe you are technically correct

  Problem is everyone has a different definition of the words, but I believe that from the scientific POV it is true

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being Trans Isn't Normal or Part of Nature...or is it...?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  POV you’re being annoyed about “point of view” being used to describe a speech or vision as if you were the mentioned groupe

  That’s okay, it’ll pass one day, you’ll adapt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being Trans Isn't Normal or Part of Nature...or is it...?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  POV you’re sorry

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bounce⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Reject religions

  Embrace the perverted mind towards random funny things

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bounce⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny coming from someone on Ada’s sect blahaj.zone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale is OUT NOW in early access!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  heh, I feel like there are some good games out there, even though they’re trendy

  Most trending games I’ve seen seem great. Most of them aren’t my time, so I don’t play them

  They might just not be your type

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea most of them suck

  I tried Lovetastic and liked the fact that they don’t use pictures and it’s mostly based on text

  They don’t seem to have advanced algorithms that are here to fuck you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most apps are owned by like 2 companies really

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Steam dev is deleting his own game after girlfriend made him realize AI is bad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea that’s probably true

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale is OUT NOW in early access!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And they were a lot simpler, and there was a lot less competition. Nowadays, games are everywhere and hype doesn’t last long. No hype, less sales, even though the game is great and released in the final version

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale is OUT NOW in early access!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Not on the proprietary platform owned by the stake.com of videogames? Won’t play then.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Steam dev is deleting his own game after girlfriend made him realize AI is bad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Companies drive AI development. Your usage doesn’t really matter that much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Steam dev is deleting his own game after girlfriend made him realize AI is bad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally wouldn’t mind if assets don’t look like shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Steam dev is deleting his own game after girlfriend made him realize AI is bad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same argument could have been made whatever she said

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely the safest source for advice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You must be pretty talented to bypass the restrictions

  Or maybe he filled the context by using a super long chat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely the safest source for advice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People will still blame it on the LLM despite the many warnings and stuff

  That’s completely on the user

  Thanks for your answer

  So, much better to have NPUs be made separately in different tiers, similar to what is done with GPUs rn.

  Overall yea, but built-in graphics are remarkably efficient and they have the added benefit to be here even if you didn’t plan that use initially. I’m glad to be able to play video games on my laptop that was meant to be use for work only

  Similarly, I had no interest in getting an NPU for this laptop but I found some use to it (well, when it’ll finally support what I want to do)

  Manufacturers will never include a niche option, or will overprice it. Built in allows to get that directly
