alle die heute noch apps oder internetdienste von den grossen tech-konzernen nutzen sind eh verloren. es gibt für fast alles gute alternativen, opensource, und wenn's nicht gibt kann man zumindest versuchen nutzung und tracking zu reduzieren. - #chrome #google #privacy #firefox #ironfox #librefox #duckduckgo #startpage.com - #datenschutz

Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.
Tänään iloa tuottanut:
- selainlisäosat: uBlacklist, jolla saa poistettua halutut sivustot (esimerkiksi pakkoevästeittä sisältävät) pois hakukoneiden tuloksista, sekä Unhook ja Better Subscriptions Youtuben lyhytvideoiden, suositusten ja jo katsottujen videoiden poistamiseen. Käytettävyys kasvoi huimasta vaikka pitänee jossain vaiheessa siirtyä Nebulaan.
Pahaa mieltä taas:
- HSL app jätti ilmoittamatta kausikortin loppumisesta eikä reittihakukaan siitä varoitellut. Tuli hieman kalliimpi kirjastomatka 😐 💸
@3D_Schorsch Ja, aber dafür muss man der Software vertrauen. Das ist, wie wenn Microsoft jetzt tief ins Betriebssystem integriert wird, da geht viel Vertrauen verloren.
Weiss jemand, ob Forks wie #Librefox oder #Arkenfox die KI-Funktionen komplett entfernen?
Few months ago I had tried #Librefox. But needed to undo(break) some fingerprinting measures to have #darkMode & some extensions (possibly; do not remember now). What it did & I {un,}did to it, same I did to #Firefox.
#Waterfox was relatively "broken" in disappointingly-hilarious way at the time.
Looks like will need to do the same song & dance to|with Librefox again (until it can keep yoinking the source from Firefox; to be decided what the fuck I would do after).
Well, goodbye #firefox. Their new #ceo is announcing his plans for #firefox to become an #ai brower.
Here's the full article: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/leadership/mozillas-next-chapter-anthony-enzor-demeo-new-ceo/
BUT! Don't bother reading it, just have some other #llm summarize it, that's what they want you to do anyway isn't it?
Qualifications for a modern ceo?
Tell the #shareholders you'll be renaming their product <productname>+AI.
Let's go to alternatives like #waterfox and #librefox, unless one of them one day gives in to ai...
