That’s true,
but hey, filtering and blocking out 90% of the unwanted/negative content is already way better then getting blasted by the full 100%! :D

Bliss for mental health indeed,
been doing this for a while now,
zero regrets.

I have an MSI Bravo 17 for work since this month, quite happy about it so far.

My experience with MSI is best price/value for hardware specs, but with shitty build quality.

However this one feels quite sturdy compared to earlier MSI laptops.

It can get loud under heavy duty,
but it goes quiet again under low workload,
for now at least, my previous MSI laptop sounded like a jet engine whenever it was powered on.

The one you posted seems particularly suited to run Linux upon, since it’s an all AMD machine, and their Linux support is great.

I like the electric part.

What I don’t like is that it’s a steaming heap of spy-ware on wheels with no opt-out ability.

Which may lead to more expensive insurance depending on your driving style, or could be abused for even more nefarious reasons.

No, instead they raped his rights with some ToS…

The more I hear about Android 15,
the less excited I get for it…

Spying on you :P

That’s why I replaced it with MicroG:

Happily been using it for a few years by now.

The enhanced privacy, extension and about:config support are great features to have.

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it’s become my go-to network speed testing tool

It’s still a problem in the EU,
less then in the USA,
however still a rather big problem.

You can ditch YouTube,
without actually ditching YouTube content,
through a privacy respecting alternative frontend:

My favorite ones:

• Desktop: Invidious + Piped
• Android: Newpipe + Tubular

Correct, ChatGPT is proprietary spyware.

If the interface would support self hosted (local/offline) LLMs, then I’m sure people would be much more interested.

Suyu is the most popular + actively developed afaik.
https://suyu.dev/

They host their code on their own Forgejo instance:
https://git.suyu.dev/explore/repos

Which is more DMCA proof then Github/Gitlab.

I hope ForgeFed will go into production soon,
then we can synchronize the code in between multiple Forgejo instances in a federated fashion.

How do you think news sites earn money? They do not provide that content for free,
you are their product of which they benefit.

I use NoScript,
which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).

Each article,
links to a news site,
which is riddled with data trackers,
which collects info about you,
which is sold.

In addition the sites contain advertisements.

Only these 2:

• world@lemmy.world
• worldnews@lemmy.ml

Because they:

• Spam up your feed
• Spread depressing content (since it attracts more attention thus earns them more)
• Try to manipulate you

Human Centipede,
that shit is banned in a few countries for a reason…
