New gnome version may cause issue to extensions that do not support it. If that is the issues then there isn't much you can do.

My assumption is always the person I am talking to is a normal window user who don't know what a terminal is. Most of them even freak out when they see "the black box with text on it". I guess on Lemmy the situation is better. It is just my bad habit.

I recommend GPT4all if you want run locally on your PC. It is super easy.

If you want to run in a separate server. Ollama + some kind of web UI is the best.

Ollama can also be run locally but IMO it take more learning than GUI app like GPT4all.

Once again, a VPN can help to mitigate the risk of de-anonymization by hiding your source IP address before accessing the guard node in the Tor circuit.

Lmao he showed a bunch of well known issue about Tor, then start the usual VPN ads.

Yes you are right. That is why I said it could be fine. I think most people will find it too slow. And also route all your phone traffic through tor isn't a great idea neither because most services block Tor IP anyway.

If you plan to torrent with your vpn. Tor isn't a good idea. If you use it just as A VPN it could be fine ig.

Ofc I will try my best to tell people about up/down side of a product. When it come to ungoogled chromium do they still support manifest v2? If yes then it will be also a great choice for desktop.

I know that I am overly paranoid but they do the weird user ID thing. It it opt in as they said in their privacy policy.

    
When you install Vivaldi browser (“Vivaldi”), each installation profile is assigned a unique user ID that is stored on your device. Vivaldi will send a message using HTTPS directly to our servers located in Iceland every 24 hours containing this ID, version, cpu architecture, screen resolution and time since last message. 


  

    
We anonymize the IP address of Vivaldi users by removing the last octet of the IP address from your Vivaldi client then we store the resolved approximate location after using a local geoip lookup


  

At least to my knowledge brave do not do anything like this or maybe it is opt out by default. But honesty, I think from now, I will recommend both of them and just let people choose.

Yeah brave has it own issue, but overall it is still more privacy respecting than chrome or edge. Brave is personally not my choice. I use librewolf. Still, if someone ask me for a browser to use for their privacy journey I will undoubtedly tell them to just use brave. Firefox(and the forks) isn't a choice for most normal people it often break Captcha. Some website even straight up just don't allow Firefox based then tell you to use chrome. I am not by anyway try to defend Brave action, but I can't see much choice that just work for people who don't even know what an OS is.

Did they fix the issue of their license partially closed? Or is it still the same

Mullvad don't have port forwarding anymore (since 2023 I think) so seeding won't work properly.

SteamOS

Last time I checked, it do require login with Google account. It is long time ago tho, so idk if it is still the case.

Use obtainium to download the latest release

People will tell you that everything is a honeypot. In fact, I am a honeypot

So it is an American thing then? I feel sorry for you to experience that. But I personally never see anyone even use it in a racism way. Probably because of my own ignorance like you said. The internet is open tho. It is not just for US culture/culture issue. So honestly for the rest of the world, I do not think it is an issue at all. Maybe we can try to resolve it in some way? Idk

A lot of people seem to argue about ricing and the "original" meaning of it. But honestly as an Asian I don't really think any Asian(at least in my country) actually care or even know the meaning of it. The ricing term of the Linux community is far from racism. What so wrong with rice? cuz we love it? I honestly don't get it.

Can the same be say with bottle?

Is that the snap version? Or Flatpak? Depends on with one it is there is a lot of way to limit the access to maybe only the download folder.
