That’s the price of privacy that I am willing to pay. With respect to electricity, I pay my bills at consumer rate while subsidizing corporate parasites who pay lower rates and get state aid on top of it.

the fuckening is upon us, ladies and gentlemen

why would they need to do things that actually matter like privacy and security lol

they got foss chads doing the hard work on that so they can circle jerk rounded edges and square

well… corpos prolly stuffing media channels with a propaganda blitz and people are duitfully reposting it here.

here specifically google is doing vibe checks, i doubt they check fedi for it tho. just your reddits and facebooks.

We are about due for cultural shift where hardware should be used until broken, which is good but… with that being said, I does kinda irk me that PC gaming/hobby won’t be easily available for this generations of kid.

They will be given spyphone with creeps like sundar and tim having root access, risks of which most of them will never understand.

And once middle aged cucks die off, this will be the new reality: enslaves population who is not even aware of their condition.

If there is economic incentive, it will happen.

Regulation only works on law abiding peasants, business/criminals don’t give any fucks about some clowns “laws”

YAS KING!

As side note, for the uninitiated, it is a process. Check Fdroid first for all your apps. Many are there but some are not. This should prompt you to look for alternatives.

It is a journey but remember denying corpo parasite engagement and profit is the direct action any one can take today!

At least my idiocy ain’t training the enemy.

Also, AI ain’t there to be correct. AI is there to help you get something done if you already know the outcome mostly.

It can really turbo charge a Linux experience for example.

Also local is way less censored and can be tweaked ;)

You can pick something that fits your GPU size. Works well on apple silicon too. My fav’s now are qwen3 series. Prolly best performance for local single gpu

Will work on CPU/RAM but slower

If you got Linux, I would put into a docker container. Might too much for the first try. There easier options I think.

Normies get AI slop, prosumer uses local llm…

Not sure about social media… Normie is allergic to reading anything beyond daddy’s propaganda slop. If it ain’t rage bait, he ain’t got time for it

🤡

By denying corpos data, their models are less effective especially if you are salting it when ever possible.

Do you really need Faceerh and Sundar the creep to have access to your tax returns and locations? Also, do you need them to know you like Asian women with large tits? Or that you and your friends enjoy a hobby?

I don’t expect… It is already happening. Prime example are rents and wages.

There is nothing to be done about it. Too late

Dynamic pricing is a more current battle ground.

All of these are fixed based on cohort specific information and with dynamic pricing it can be literally individual level data.

Is there any real benefit for a Linux normie here?

It is a skill issue tbh and people need to be educated to avoid certain subs that just fucking endlessly shill DNC slop

anti-corporate sentiments

Not on my fedi 🤣

Less price gouging

Correct, we need the normie here!

Blocks Lemmy.world politics, news etc subs

Those are regime front modded by reddit type clowns who are shilling DNC talking points.

Good, fuck microshit
