The first point makes no sense and that’s why privacy is so important - not to lose trust in this stupid and toxic society because of different opinions.

Still a SIM should be a SIM. Any attempt to enshittificate or overcomplicate them is to be stopped by all means necessary.

But how about hardware surveillance AI ThAt EvErYoNe WaNTs???

The way ai is being used is definitely heading to bubble territory with this corporate push.

I really hope so

Who is McKinsey?

Well the data is still valuable and some people use the same nicknames on privacy-respecting and invasive websites…

Idk that’s why I’m asking

I have a pretty slow machine and GNOME Web is unusable on it. The performance is not comparable to Firefox or Chromium. Extensions are very important for regular people apparently (judging from old Firefox Play Store reviews). Also Firefox and its derivatives are known for advanced privacy features that GNOME Web doesn’t have and likely will never have because GNOME is about extreme simplicity by all costs.

I like GNOME Web and I really can see myself installing it on an old person’s computer because of awesomely simple UI. But it’s not for most people and I’m afraid that without commercial support there won’t be any good regular browsers based on WebKit. I wish engine-specific features didn’t exist. Everything would be so simple without them.

I know about that. I used to use Epiphany myself. The problem is that it’s unpopular, still not nearly as good as the other options and there’s no cross-platform support. The last one is a big problem because 90% of the market uses Android or Windows.

They did it to mine data about Fediverse users right?

Still adding proprietary and actually evil AI providers is a questionable decision.

They wanted to use fast small language models, not LLMs like Llama

Looks like the “local AI only” idea was purged in favor of some Big Tech stuff that can give Mozilla some fat cash for promoting their services! Mozilla’s second (or third idk at this point lol) downfall is looking really strong with all their recent decisions. WebKit is another independent engine that still doesn’t seem to suck in terms of enshittification but it’s basically not used anywhere except Apple ecosystem. Chromium is getting a full monopoly yay.

Ehh that’s just file stealing. Could expect that from Microsoft

Oh ok then. I heard 10 series and older had more issues than newer ones

Did you try a GPU that’s 10 series or older?

If you didn’t know, fractional scaling isn’t available on X11 so there won’t be issues if a new user tries to turn it on

Wayland is pretty good but without the drivers (that are not provided by default on Ubuntu) you will have fractional scaling issues and probably other glitches

Losing a little bit of the remaining good reputation as a good and well documented beginner distro.
