You gotta look it up but they use ai to track people and the US government installed them in almost every major city. They're also really incredibly bad security wise, you can just walk up to them and connect and download the videos on any smart phone
So that's not what the article was saying
Brave is fine but still collects a lot of user data and isn't privacy centric from their own perspective. Plus their fingerprint protection sucks
I said "apparently" lol. It was still a brave referral link they got money from, so i have no doubt it wasn't a mistake
Apparently it was an auto complete issue that was fixed within 48 hours, but even still, there's always something wrong with Brave multiple times a year
Yeah, I like sync too and you can use Firefox sync with all Firefox based browsers.
Brave's ceo also donated to California political efforts to overturn protections for gay marriage in the past
No, but brave "shields", aka pre installed but shittier unlock origin, can sometimes break plex or other sites that require certain things that could look like trackers
Zen is just preselected no telemetry Firefox, also bleeding edge with Firefox updates
Brave is fine ish but they have issues, and a lot of them, which they usually fix within 24 hours but they've had a track record of like 8-10 issues per year, so just under once a month.
Don't downvote me to hell cause it's a reddit link, sorry, this is the most concise list I know of: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/s/AErPH6iMl0
Coding is okay, but the flagship free models usually crush whatever and to have decent memory you need hella VRAM Doc analysis is okay if they're small, Home assistant isn't bad but kinda overkill with an LLM when you can just set manual automations, Journalling, gaming, music, DJ'ing, elder care, imagine and video generation, are all relatively bad even on flagship models
Quick overview of searches is fine but I'll use a free flagship model for that, in depth research tends to not be great
People tend to dislike this, but I LOVE gnome. It runs a lil heavy, but damn it's clean, smooth, fast, easy & decluttered.
No dot files, no config, and it's intuitive
Yeah essentially the other tools you had to use API keys, and none of them were FOSS, mostly paid only tools.
This lets you self host both the application interface itself (which can also be an IDE) and use a self hosted LLM
I kinda loved his "you should self host to decentralize from big tech" and "run graphene and Linux to avoid data collection" content, but idk what the local ai stuff is any good for
