Discussion Comfy Café #14

Well, prosecuting Israeli citizens for possession of child pron and drugging & raping a 16 year old is now seen as anti-semitism. So... Yes, your desire for privacy is indeed anti-semitic, according to Mr. Greenblatt

PS:
Not even joking in that first sentence. That shite honestly reads like an Onion headline, doesn't it?

Yes, MS has patents for in-game ads and also for a "credit system" based on your ad-viewing time.

A day will come when modders have to remove ads from games somehow or people make add-ons for games to block ads.

Amazon, Reliance, and WEF don't even want people to own their own PCs. They want everyone to have virtual desktops only.

 

That is indeed the goal. That and mass surveillance.

It is also why storage and memory for personal devices is so ludicrously expensive now, and the world's only hope is cheap (but high quality) Chinese RAM and SSDs. Unfortunately, the West and their allies anticipated this and slapped ridiculous sanctions on Chinese memory & storage manufacturers.

 

Their prices have also gone up, but nowhere near as much as memory/storage coming out of S Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, the US, and Europe.

China is indeed prioritizing their own AI. But the push is not as insane as in the US and its allies. They also built their data-centres taking into consideration local environmental issues, sound and light pollution, focused on renewable energy, and did not drain their drinking water reserves for cooling.

Goodnight, beans & chicken.

 

Foodie paradise?

 

South Bangalore is a great place for eating out.

 

Have you given Zen and Librewolf a try? Both are excellent Firefox forks.

Zen has some neat tools, is light on CPU and RAM, and is highly regarded by the community. Especially Linux users. It just isn't for me because there is no horizontal tabs option, and anything else I can do with it I can also do with Waterfox and Librewolf.

Librewolf is basically a Firefox equivalent of Brave, minus all the stupid shit like AI, crypto, sponsorships, credits system, paid VPN, and other add-ons that nobody uses. It just takes Firefox and disables all forms of tracking and telemetry. And because it lacks all the stupid shit that Brave tacks on, it is lighter on CPU, RAM, and battery by comparison. It is currently regarded as among the three most private browsers along with Tor and Mullvad. Funnily enough, all three are based on Firefox.
