thank you for sharing.

and i don't think we lost that battle. google, facebook, etc, they don't know much about me. they probably know that someone with such a browser likes to read this and this, but it's not much to know!

i read blogs via rss, i read gemlogs every day and i read xmpp chats.

google has no idea what we talk in our community chats and which cat photos we share there.

it is quite possible to live like that. i also used local ai's, it can work, sometimes helpful, but mostly unusable because i have no normal gpu. and instead of waiting for it to think about my problem i can think of it.

i guess if i had a normal gpu it would make sense to use local ai.

also i don't use phones since 2011. i use phone devices under linux and i connect to wifi, and i randomize mac addresses because big isp in our city gathers mac data from all apartments and cafeterias and thus they know who is where at any point of time.
