I find TOR annoyingly slow most of the time, but I try to appreciate its vintage internet qualities

Yeah agree. Voice is a little odd for the character, too rough and bassy. It also sounds like the VT was having a tough time sticking to the voice at times

Illive in a country with the world’s fastest internet speeds and I notice performance differences

Maybe you’re not using a bridge?

Everything??? Sounds slow

Your instinct is correct

SOCKS

Come off it.

The OP is about the worrisome aspects of Win11, and we’re out here telling OP there’s an alternative that doesn’t violate user privacy.

Obviously learning a new OS can be an obstacle but how much do you value privacy? You’re sitting here saying it’s too difficult. You’re the problem, not me

It’s very very easy to install Linux. Only moderately difficult to dual boot

So the government bought into the hype surrounding an LLM?

What happened?

So does it those mean Graphene needs to label itself differently to networks?

Break the camera? Remove it? Scratch the lens?

I’d just cover it or break it 🤷

Isn’t it training for AI and automated cars?

Yeah, I feel ya! I’m referring to its clean UI, ease of use, and lack of ads, as well as features like the wallet and payment system. They also have Facebook style posting, but it’s much nicer to see

My actual favorite chat app is Signal, for overall privacy and security. It helps that Signal also has a nice, intuitive UI and clean appearance, but it lacks some cool features.

Wechat was the first to implement so many things: message translation, voice message transcription (and translation), delete & edit, sending cash to friends (red packets in group chat is a fkn blast!)…

I tried going back to Slashdot and it’s just not the same

I love wechat compared to almost every other messaging app

Edge is tempting to try, and I specifically love its pdf markup capabilities. Much more intuitive than Firefox. But I don’t trust Microsoft with my browsing data

Wait-- for real???

If I grew up under der Stasi I would also be skeptical of so-called communism.

But it’s ultimately a failure on their part to imagine a better world and better model of governance than one which relies on secret police.

I know this Serbian guy who is totally fuckin libbed out because of stories his dad told him, no even any personal experience. As soon as you start talking about social programs, he starts spouting Reaganite nonsense
