Different branches of government. Counter intuitive stuff. Every time the interior ministry says BS like this, the digital branch of the gov starts crying, but obviously they have a lot less weight

Afaik France still has contracts with Palantir

Eh, never happens, so when it does, it’s suspicious

which they post from thier iphone/macbook

Same can be said for any phone though. Default OEM Android is a tracking nightmare

We’re just okay with some things that people arent, and not okay with the thing some people are okay with.

Saying Apple is shit while most people seeing this will just decide to stay on their Xiaomi or Samsung is so dumb. Sadly this world is plagued with subjectivity.

Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good.

Same can be said about fingerprinting protection.

Search engines were useful, the scraping/AI happened.

Google’s quality has decreased, but other engines have improved, and LLM search summaries are really good (brave search is a good example of this)

I think LibreWolf enforces compromises I’m not willing to do, instead of using different techniques

Forced English language, light mode, fixed window size or borders, cookies removed after closing, no history(? Not sure about this one)

Want those or just one of them? You have to remove ALL fingerprinting protections for some reasons. Might as well use Firefox then…

you can do privacy friendly ads, it’s not because the entire industry has evolved to an horrible point that the good way of doing it can’t exist

Brave

Librewolf’s defaults are so bad, and changing them basically entirely removes the anti fingerprinting features

probably one of the best chromium privacy browsers, compared to the rest

Sure, it doesn’t have a really good background, but for the balance of features / convenience, it’s the best chromium browser

Eh it might be hilarious though

If it’s not stored, not a big problem, but yea that’s useless bullshit that’s just annoying and feels like a breach in our lives

It’s not a % change of the entire user base, it’s a % change over the uninstalls. If there are 100 uninstalls per day for example, even a 2000% increase for a day is worthless

And even then, we probably need the number of installs per day to understand the actual impact

Only if you have the base amount. And still, for a company of this size, it’s not much

Whenever I see a % data, I always believe the actual amount is really low. It just means on Saturday there were 4x the amount of uninstalls compared to every other day, which doesn’t seem much at all

Why bother when you have GLM 5.0 😎

People want less forced AI, but most people are fine with using it whenever they want

I’m one of them

But then I’m a student and work part time as a dev so I see the population that pretty much uses GenAI the most

It’s just a simple DoB input, which can be local afaik

That’s nice, congrats for your dedication

That’s really nice! I went ahead and setup Element on all my devices as well, but I’m not as enthusiastic. Most people won’t bother changing. It was a pain to make people move from WhatsApp / iMessage to Signal already
