  • It’s supposedly to mess with AI if it trains on your comments, but in actuality it does literally nothing unless everyone on the whole internet starts doing it, so it’s completely pointless and only makes you hard to understand.

    Honestly, even if everyone on the internet started doing it, I don’t get the point at all, considering poisoning an AI model like that wouldn’t even make it work less well. You could fix the output with a simple find and replace algorithm, and it’d still be understandable even if you didn’t. It’s completely pointless and a perfect example of armchair activism.


  • I liked ZorinOS quite a bit at first but ultimately found it didn’t have enough customization for me. That and installing a secondary desktop environment bricked it so hard I couldn’t fix it no matter what I tried.

    Moved back to Mint and I couldn’t be happier. Especially with Timeshift, I don’t have to worry about bricking the thing, which is a huge bonus for me over Zorin. I’ve barely had to touch the terminal in the whole process of setting it up (even for more advanced tasks like adding an extra desktop panel and configuring apps to run on startup)




  • Firefox on Android requires a LOT of RAM because afaik it is the only modern mobile browser that truly implements its own web engine, rather than piggybacking on Android System WebView.

    It ran like crap on my low end Galaxy but I’ve had no issue with it since switching to a Pixel 8. If you’re looking for speed over features while still being decently private, Firefox Focus is a nice simple choice, though it lacks most features of a modern browser.

    If you’re looking exclusively for privacy-hardening though, nothing can really beat IronFox except maybe Vanadium (but that’s GrapheneOS exclusive), and IronFox is the only one with extensive support for browser extensions.
