I’m running Manjaro since 2022 and it has been running smoothly. I guess I’m foolish…

Why is this upvoted? It an ad for a company.
There could be multiple factors. For example, I have a Nextcloud instance that is fully managed by Hetzner, and I didn’t bother to find out what database it uses…
Linux is a worldwide community project, and its source code is readily available. It’s nonprofit. Proton is now a Swiss nonprofit organization without shareholders (https://proton.me/foundation). Nextcloud is an open-source project that you can host on your own server or in the cloud, which means you have total control over your information.
These are nonprofit projects that don’t seek to monetize from you because you’re not the product.
The only way to escape these companies is to prioritize your privacy. When you do so, you’ll find replacements for the current capitalist platforms. For example, I switched from Windows to Linux and from Gmail to ProtonMail. I also switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud, which offers multiple services like a calendar and tasks. This means that I switched my calendar from Google to Nextcloud, for example.
The Guardian is no exception when it comes to sensationalism and not presenting research findings objectively.
The Fediverse is the way. In this Financialised capitalism, capitalist platforms will continue to be enshitified as they only tend to shareholders interests of continual growth. They do not care about humans.
We need to keep this momentum going.
It’s not AI. LLMs are not intelligent, they do not think. It’s only a marketing term.
Sigh . It’s not AI; it’s a machine learning algorithm. Nevertheless, this is the right use of the technology. Machine learning is all about finding correlations in big data, and this is a good example of that.
I agree. It’s ChatGPT style, I hate it.
The problem will be to convince your friends and family to use Signal, and that’s really not obvious.
I’ve been building computers since 1999, and I’ve noticed that the industry is cyclical. I’ve purchased CPUs from both Intel and AMD. We need Intel to succeed, otherwise AMD will dominate the x86 processor market.
