I use it, and if you don't like the point of view then make your own AI encyclopedia. I'm fed up of Wikipedia, it's no longer the encyclopedia that anyone can edit since all controversial articles are BLUELOCKed to people who have to make 500 edits outside of their field of interest before they can actually contribute, Wikipedia is doing the same gate keeping that Britannica did. Wikipedia keeps telling established academics and celebrities they are not notable and if you say otherwise they shout COI. Wikipedia needs competition, and they can't keep relying on the gravy train of donations anymore.

I follow a lot of the alternate browser engines and am always looking for new ones outside of the big three. You should use your experience to get a career in the browser tech world as we are dangerously close to the Chromium only web.

I think this is cool as long as you don't use it to do your banking, and it needs to be running in a VM or on a Raspberry Pi or something. The Internet is dangerous. Something something don't write your own crypto.

Also, there's a big difference between running a handmade browser that I wrote and trusting one that some stranger wrote. I guess I'm going to have to try writing my own someday :-)

Gnome comes with built in virtual machine support with the Boxes app, just download an ISO and try as many as you want.

If Google really cared they would ban ICE ip addresses from using Google services and stop ICE using Google Cloud. Google is a big enough company to force the issue, otherwise they secretly condone ICE.

Kowtowing to this administration seems to be the cost of doing business now.

I'm still a Slashdotter, I use it more than HN. Although Slashdot isn't as fun since they cracked down on trolling.

This is also the general threat to books and encyclopedias. Grok for all its point of view flaws still generated a full encyclopedia in two months that Wikipedia by humans took 25 years and Britannica over three centuries. The only remaining issue is when we can finally trust AI to be correct more than expert humans and be aligned with human moral consensus.

All this effort for legal immigration and then US wonders why they have so many illegals.

quick fyi:

a person can't be "illegal" and immigration is a civil issue, not criminal...

I don't care about Mozilla anymore and I was a passionate Firefox user back in 2004. The rest of the world just standardized on Chromium. The vast majority of the remaining Firefox users are just using it for ublock origin which is not a sustainable business model.

Then again how many more people would live alone if they could afford to rent or buy on a single income?

Yeah in my country people leave their parents house in their early 20s. Independence and individuality are the foundational bedrock of my culture.

But it's getting harder because of the housing market.

> Independence and individuality

Neither are threatened by living with a friend or someone else near your age. Sure, move out of your parents’ home, but that doesn’t mean you have to live alone.

The difference between sharing a 2BR and living in an apartment building are more exercises in cultural than physical difference.

Residential proxies need to be classed as malware and added to antivirus definitions and kicked off of app stores. Mass ban evasion needs to be cracked down on.
