Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!
Regarding AI, I filled it in as following:
Yes, the script uses git svn under the hood,
however it simplifies the process of a fair amount of steps,
to just x1 easy CLI command with an in/output parameter.
Nope, only SVN => Git
SearXNG: https://github.com/searxng/searxng
It enhances and respects privacy,
is open source and self hostable,
and queries multiple configurable search engines (google, bing, brave, duckduckgo, …)
You can find a list of public hosted instances here:
https://searx.space/
However I prefer to slap an instance randomizer on top, so each of my queries goes through another public SearXNG instance, for more privacy, and mostly, to bypass rate-limiting after frequent queries.
For this I use:
That behavior fucking sucks actually
Look it up on PCGamingWiki,
they usually list all configuration + compatibility changes that need to be tweaked:
Pro or anti consumer features? x’)
I have an MSI Bravo 17 for work since this month,
quite happy about it so far.
My experience with MSI is best price/value for hardware specs, but with shitty build quality.
However this one feels quite sturdy compared to earlier MSI laptops.
It can get loud under heavy duty,
but it goes quiet again under low workload,
for now at least, my previous MSI laptop sounded like a jet engine whenever it was powered on.
The one you posted seems particularly suited to run Linux upon, since it’s an all AMD machine, and their Linux support is great.
I like and been using JetBrains IDEs for years now,
and am/was happily paying for a good product.
However I feel like they’ve been going backwards in the last year or 2,
it feels less premium,
and more like your a paying beta tester,
since lately I deal with bugs in their IDEs too often to my liking.
But this news kinda scares me,
usually if something is free,
then you are the product,
paying with your data.
Which I can see happen to these IDEs now :/
Especially in this day and age where massive data collection by big tech is sadly normalized, and where coding data likely is wanted to be trained upon by AI companies with the current ongoing hype bubble and all.
If that would start to happen to JetBrains products, I fear for enshitiffication in the forms of:
And further once the AI bubble pops,
which will lead to less demand for data,
since there will be less companies.
Go see for yourself,
don’t knock it till you tried it.
Manjaro,
benefits of Arch,
while being gamer ready,
easier to use and more stable.
It also has a GUI to manage your graphics drivers.

It’s not LibreWolf, but how about IceRaven?

Has been my goto FireFox fork for Android for years.
Do you hear that?
That’s the sound of DMCAtendo’s lawyers marching out to ruin another fan project.
That would be an anti-virus… x)
Since it would remove spy-ware from your computer.
No, instead they raped his rights with some ToS…
I’ve been happily using the clock app that comes embedded with LineageOS for years now.
If you don’t want to switch to LineageOS,
then you can still find/install it from ApkMirror:

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.
Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM,
to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.
Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.
All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).
To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?
Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.
Windows is not getting better,
CoPilot, Recall, all more unwanted spyware…
UniGetUI is a good way to maintain software on Windows in a Linux fashion through package managers,
however that does not change that the underlying OS is pure spyware.
